Harboring Memories
By Veronica D
That day, a rainbow did show
Sixty-five years after America’s low
Glistening high, covering the sky:
Peace rather bombs that did fly
Visible to those above the Arizona
The ship still below, a beautiful loner
Beginning faces end across the harbor
Aboard the Missouri, on top of its starboard
Freedom is shining like a magnificent pearl
Through colorful fish beneath oil swirls
Vanished into thin air, everyone still
remembers
The fateful day that very December
Thousands did die: here was the start
Pearl Harbor, forever in my heart.

Memories
Rachna G
Your brain is like a strainer,
It only keeps some things inside.
Have you noticed?
That your brain
Remembers bad memories for ammunition
Against bad friends and enemies.
Have you noticed?
Sometimes your brain
Blocks out some good memories
Because it has no use for them.
But you’ll never forget
The names of your family
And your best friends
And everything else that’s dear to you.
All that glitters is not gold.
As luck would have it,
Some of our most powerful memories
Are of the bad or embarrassing things in life.
The brain is a funny thing.
You’ll get lost
The second you try
To understand.
DETECTIVE CLUELESS
By: Kevin H
She’s there to solve crime
But she doesn’t have a clue
She’s a detective
There to help you
She’s Detective Clueless
She’s a puppy
All nice and furry
But when it comes to crime
She’s in no hurry
She’s Detective Clueless
She’s got floppy ears
And a curly tail
There to put
Bad guys in jail
She’s Detective Clueless
She’s got sharp teeth
And likes to bite
And she’ll always
Win the fight
For goodness sake
She’s Detective Clueless
Birthday
Diego L
Oh my, my birthday is coming
What should I get for there is too much
My parents say only one small gift
The only amount of presents for me is a bunch
This makes my mind hum like a hummingbird’s humming
I start thinking about my wish
As I only stare straight up
The answer won’t drop down
And when I think about a pup
I’m told something that makes my hopes vanish
Birthdays only come once a year
I need to get used to the system
I like my birthday twelve times in a year.
Music
By: Aria
Music is an inspiration
That comes from the heart
It makes the day go by quickly
And it will take you far
Music is a piece of art
Shining very brightly
It captures people’s attention
Like our God Almighty
And when you are in a pickle
And don’t know what to do
Sing a little song or tune
That will help you get through
Music is and inspiration
Inspiration is music
He Said
Anastasia P
He grabbed her hand
He said to her not to fear
He said to fly away like a bird from the cage
To break free from everything
He said to live her life
He said to make mistakes
He said to be original
To not worry what everyone else thinks
He said to be ready for any challenge that comes forth
He said to step up to the plate and have her battle gear on
He said to have her eyes wide open
He said to show the world who she is
To be the best in all that she does
He said to be the one everyone wishes they were.
They all say but she is just a girl
But she will be the one to be all and end all.
The Red Beauty
By Valerie N
The soft velvet that lay,
The green stem that it supports,
The beauty of its design,
The loveliness it sports,
Yet I don’t look at the beauty it cap-
tures,
“The earth has music for those who listen”,
I look past the image and listen
to its song,
The thought of that song just
makes my heart glisten,
Then I smell its enchanting air
it pollutes,
Its essence spins round and
round,
These beautiful things just
make me smile,
And “a smile cures the
wounding of a frown,”
The upside down gown it wears
It’s red, and soft to the touch,
It’s like a Mexican party dress,
That’s beautiful oh so much,
These little things of one red beauty,
These are defiantly my Achilles heel,
For you see my love,
The smell, the sound, the feel,
The essence of a rose, the beauty
it deals,
These all remind me of you and I,
Our love is a rose that never dies.
The Kane Family
Momen A
The Kanes, the Kanes
With their god-like power
Why were they cursed
So much, by the gods
Sadie Kane behaves like a toddler
And just doesn’t know when to stop
She wields the power of the Ancient Egyptian
Goddess Isis, Eye of Ra
Then there’s here older brother
Carter Kane who is
Neither a borrower nor a lender be
He wields the power of Horus the Avenger
Horus being the son of Isis
So young they were when the great duty
Of being a godling was thrust upon them
They walked blindly for a time
Until their dead father shed some light
On their current plight
And told them why they were chosen
For such a great thing
Missing You
By: Natalie P
You live so far away,
And I think of you every day.
I remember when
We stayed up till ten.
You have a special treat
That you make every time for us to eat.
There is never too much of a good thing,
Especially when we are on the swing.
With all you are going through,
I can’t understand how you do what you do,
But I miss you,
And Grandma, I love you too!
Only One Will Survive
By: Mikey S
One day, everything will be gone
No oil will remain
“Let’s live our life and be happy” some people say
Yet before they know it, everyone could be slain.
Once we had everything
Now we must change it and renew
Earnestly, or suffer with a world with no king.
We may say that there is a chance
I will make my case otherwise
LRA will show us how quick we can die
Leaving us seeing our demise
Simply we can try
Under all, I believe everyone is good at heart
Really, just like mother bear protecting its cubs
Vigilantly, we must try to save all that is here
In any manner before it is too late.
Very much I suggest we do whatever we can
Expeditiously, unless we are destined to meet this terrible fate.
If we continue to destroy our earth, we will all die
And only one will then survive.
I want to be a meatball when I grow up
By Zhengdong W
I want to be a meatball when I grow up
declared Joey the pig
But nooooooooo
Mommy said I had to be a sausage
they get the nice packaging
they're prettier than meatballs
they taste better
Remember to tell Santa
that you want to be a sausage
not a meatball
because Mommy knows best
So when Santa came
all the kids told him what they wanted to be
What do you want to be, Joey?
he asked, straightening his axe
hmmmm...
I want to be a meatball
and with one felled swoop
he was
Ice Cream
By: Anisha M
My body shuts down
My mind stops
My eyes close
I concentrate
It comes at me at once
Settling in my mouth
Gentle but harsh
Soft like the sun
The first step is over
There are more spoons to come
But then it stops
The feeling is gone
My body restarts
The concentration slips away
I realize its all over
But in the end all that glitters is not gold
Ice Cream
A Walk Through the Meadow:
Rajat A
I was walking through the meadow
With the wind coursing through my hair
The green green grass crunching under my feet
And where everything else was bare
I was worry-free
Nothing on my mind
Just walking through the meadow
Peace is all I find
Without any hate
Without any tears
Free as a butterfly
Without any fears
When walking through the meadow
None have seen better days
Nobody but me
and the horses' neigh
I Can’t Do It
Chris B
I can’t do it
I’ll be terrible
Everyone will hate me
I’ll be an outcast
Everything won’t work
People will rear up their tomatoes
And throw without delay
And nothing will work
Should I call it quits?
And run out the door
No, that won’t work
It’ll be worse than before
I’m already in it
Can’t run
Can’t hide
Everything will be terrible
No one will deny
Ill sound like a duck
And perform like some muck
Ill scratch and I’ll scream
Ill yell and I’ll cry
I’m in such a pickle
I can never get out
Everyone will remember
No one will forget
Let’s do it
Get it over with
If this doesn’t end soon
I’ll fall out of my pants
I want to do it
But I don’t think I can
I’ll try to do it
But I know I can’t
I guess a good attitude
Will always help
I’m practiced
I’m prepared
I’m like the little engine
That thought he could
So he could
So I can
This will work
I can do it
Falling In Love
Emily G.
A hailstorm in its violence
A hurricane in its strength
A tornado in its random path
And yet you can’t escape
Like a flood it overwhelms you
From huge waves you are submerged
Like lightning it’s so sudden
You can hardly mutter words
Like rain there are two pieces
Some good and bad and such
Some clear skies and some thunderstorms
And time you haven’t much
A drought in its roughness
But like snow it is still smooth
Raining down on each person
Music
Tommy L
Every day I mute the world out
Wandering through the space and all about
There in my own little world I lay
Dreaming from night and day
My world of all I like and none I hate
It appears every time I walk through the imaginary gate
Whitness and darkness
Happiness and sorrow
Life and death
All this I see in my thoughts
And what I hear is for not
There I lay for days after days
Not able to hear what others have to say
For I couldn’t hear a word or their dismay
There comes a time when I return
As I take it out of my ears that burns
To catch onto what’s up and about
But just as fast I can always mute the world out

The Ants’ Life
Xander H
The ants scurry to and fro,
Building their mound,
Once the top is finished,
They start underground,
They create elaborate tunnels,
With the greatest of ease,
The ants are certainly artists,
Who make the best of feats,
But then when it’s time,
They march to the house,
Once they enter the kitchen,
They’re as quiet as a mouse,
Bread crumbs, strawberry bits,
No one will miss ‘em,
But there goes 50%,
Of the entire kitchen,
Orange peels, sugar cubes,
And the occasional fungus,
By now the food store,
Has grown quite humungous,
All this is to feed the queen,
Who shoots out babies,
Workers come to care for them,
Almost always daily,
But oh, what the dickens!
Here comes a human boy,
Who looks for a way,
To give him some joy,
One shoe goes smush, smush,
Thousands of ants are dead,
The other shoe goes smash, smash,
While the survivors have fled,
Many hours of work are lost,
In the blink of an eye,
And now you know what it’s like,
In a little ant’s life.
Life
Andrew A
You may take life for granted
Only some realize the true importance
Have take into consideration
One may not care for it
Chance is what many don’t take
At the brink of death
Life seems to have been a waste
If the years didn’t fly by
You would take all of the opportunities
Never regretting a single thing
Take some time with loved ones
A minute never wasted
Risk is what you would’ve took
What you didn’t do
Is now regretted
The resentment you feel now closes
Point is, take a chance, live life to the fullest
Home
Jake O
Home is where you live and breathe,
Home is where you sit and eat
You play here.
You sleep here.
You’re not afraid to be here the place where you feel safe
And can drift off into space.
Fall asleep on the couch,
Wake up on the floor
Then eat in a dozen places
And do it all once more.
Where you pretend to have fun,
As you realize
They say, “Home is where the heart is.”
But I say, “ Home is where I once lived.”
The Earth of Life
Dhruv M
The Earth is a large landscape with many forms of life
Full of nature and many other beautiful sites
It is such a marvelous thing to view just like the blue seas
Nevertheless, it can be decayed by folks such as you and me
Human activities harm the environment step by step
But all together we can make this end
By saving the trees
We can please all of our desperate needs
Save the animals that roam this Earth
By not destroying what their homes are worth
And polluting the air that can harm us all
While watching the leaves from treetops fall
If we all work together to solve these problems
The world may live peacefully for years to come
A Day in Minecraft
Kevin W
In the morning when you start,
You wonder what you want to do
Cut some wood and make some tools,
Then your ready to explore.
Into a cave you go,
Looking for adventure.
You run into a creature,
That looks like a green-eyed monster.
Thou art scared, and run away.
Craft a weapon, and your ready to go.
You cut the monster down
And feel relief.
Night falls quickly,
And you build yourself a shelter.
You lay in bed,
And prepare for another day.
The Different Emotions of Wind
Max C
A mournful cry drifts through the streets,
It rattles at gates hoping to be accompanied,
Sighing through alleys, moaning and pleading,
No one comes to its side as it travels on and on.
It roars down mountains with rage,
Picking up cars and squashing houses in its wrath,
Waves tower towards the sky sharing its anger,
Wakes of destruction follow it as it travels on and on.
Soon it calms and becomes cheerful,
Songs from it burst into the air as it flies through hills,
It leaps, dances, and twirls, merry as the day is long,
Its music flows behind it as it travels on and on.
Whispering through branches it is gentle,
It rustles grasses swaying them left to right,
Nature comes alive welcoming its peacefulness,
It carries sweet scents as it travels on and on.
It never stops to take a break,
For it there is no need,
It just keeps traveling on and on,
It just keeps traveling on and on.
The Blocked Passageway
Isaac Dowdle
Pulling out a long sleek dagger
I jumped at the green-eyed monster and made him stagger
He then grabbed my wrist and threw me to the ground
The sheer impact made my head pound
I’d seen better days than this one
But even those were far from fun
I opened my eyes in time to see the attack
A blow to my chest that landed with a crack
As quick as lightning the pain was everywhere
Relief became my only care
I got slowly to my shaking feet
The man had made his intentions discreet
I wasn’t to go through that door
Unless I wanted to become a pile of gore
As luck would have it I died quickly
My long sought success would never be
The Blessing
Andres G
Times after the heavens’ cries recede
And the white shadows of Earth part
A wonderful gift is left behind.
Yet its blessing isn’t so exposable, oh no,
As some people believe it to behold,
There may a be a way, at the end of it,
To contain a cauldron abundant with gold.
When one sees it, they may observe it as riches
With others, they see joy,
Some may view this unsung sighting as a prophecy
Others think of it as their unknown toy.
None look at it same in a way
People may see it anyway they want,
The bow of rain looks at the minds of some with simple colors
While it chuckles at other’s greedily endorsed taunts.
Honey Bee
Joe K
The sun uncovers from its blanket and birds make a harmony
Sunlight makes a peek to the hive needing with honey
Bees are out of their neighborhood and ready to fly
Give a wish to the clouds not to rain
Push their feet and flips their fins to the sea that’s high
Nothing to look not even a map he flies to the plain
He smells it sees it and feels the flower and fills to the plain
The moon hand shacks the sun seven times a week and he still has the bucket
Doing this every day and night he feels like a puppet
This is getting numb not a happy story for the bee
Need something shinny as a rainbow but sort as pillow it will be
The bee’s eye gets clear and greater as he sees the color of the flower
Thy plate thou rarest honey-concealing cloudy soft and hugged him a hour
Where ever he goes his buzzing makes a choir
Summer
Mackenzie P
Sumer oh summer we love it so much
It gives us a break from the “green eyed monster” school
Summer gives us reasons to believe we can do anything we want to do anytime
Summer is a reason why kids are counting
The days until you get to feel free
To embrace their inner childhood with fun and games
And to have their little round faces filled with glee
Swimming to boating to stuffing your face
Summer is fun no matter the place
Soaking up the lovely rays of the sun
And not having a care in the world feeling free as a leave
Summer, oh summer wouldn’t you come sooner, please, pretty please?
Plane Ride
Chase S
Life is a plane ride
It starts out rough until you learn to fly
As you get going everything rushes by
Sometimes swaying from side to side
It continues to climb
Until it hit a flat line
And once it gets steady
it’s bound to hit turbulence
you hit ups and downs and side to sides
Again it smoothes back out
And you slowly descend
The landing is tough and shakes people up
As everyone leaves you power down
Having seen better days
Then they stow you away
Enjoying those last few rays
Hokey-Pokey (Shakespearian Remake)
Jake J
O’ Proud left foot, that ventures quick within.
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
A mad gyration, hips in a deep swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from heaven’s yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The hoke, the poke – banish now thy doubt.
Verily, I say, ‘tis what it is all about.
And now that thy know what the Hokey-Pokey is about;
Shall we not restart the process?
Bring joy to thy selves? Commence thou Hokey-Poke!
TIME
Sean K
It takes time
For one to pick up a rhyme.
For time passes
In very large masses.
The blinking idiot who wrote this poem
He’s very nice I think you know him.
When he wrote
This dreary note,
He was hit by a blundering boat.
The wind bore this scripture
Through times many pictures
Through my front door
Only to fall on the floor.
WALKIN’ HOME
Stephen F
Walking home on an evening night not knowing where you’re going,
All you have to see at night is the Lord and all His Glory
But when He fall into your heart, He will make things clear
When you have a bad temptation He will always be near
Walking home, spot the devil and his power, great and deceiving
But when the Lord is there to protect you, the devil is always leaving
There will always be a battle, between darkness and light
And when it comes to a final, there will be one who wins the fight
Lord…Oh Lord, where will you take us next?
To the heights of Heaven, and the Universe’s depth
But only if we understand Jesus Christ and his rebirth
Than all evil will be gone, and Heaven will come…an infinite times better than earth
So give us a tower of strength, oh Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Because the willingness of Heaven, can never have a price
Live Like That
Andy K
Sometimes I wonder
What people will say of me
When I’m nothing but a memory
When I’ve breathed my last
Did I make my mark on this world?
Or was just one in a sea of faces?
When people look at me
What do they think?
I want to live so that
I’m famous for a lot longer
than fifteen minutes
I want to live
So that when people look at me they think
“I Want to Live Like That”
I’m going to give this life
Everything I’ve got
Never holding back
I’m Going to Live Like That
Getting a C
Rahul R
Thou receiveth a C on thy examen.
Thou hath not study again?
Thou art a failure at study.
Thine habits are none but bloody.
Wherefore were thee to this effort?
Tho belongest in a vile desert.
Thy reputation will now falter.
Thee must belong at the alter.
Thy behaviour will be punished.
Like Donte, thou shalt be banished.
People will now disregard thee like a peasant.
Thy life will become unpleasant.
So now thy will feel the consequences.
Thee will learn that study has prominence.
Saxotromtubaphone
One day in the town of Instrument City,
A man was looking for his lost kitty.
On the way he heard a band play,
The sound of the saxophone, trombone, and tuba made him sway.
So then he had the idea to combine them,
He worked for days and finished at eleven A.M.
He then picked up the instrument,
And he played it like an elephant,
The sound was so different that everyone near,
Listened intently to the sound, so queer.
Then they went to see what it was,
And when the man walked out, it was to applause.
He started to sell them for all, everywhere,
While he sat at his desk in a big, huge chair.
He enjoyed his life, very much,
And he now played his saxotromtubaphone with a great touch.
He played his instrument to his heart’s content,
The instrument was played often, just like he meant
Now with the creator of the instrument known,
You know the story of the saxotromtubaphone.
Discus Spinning
Rachel C
I’m up to throw,
I’ll try to spin.
Just remember your footing-
A backwards seven.
One swing, two, and spin.
I lose balance, and I twirl out of the ring,
My cage, and scratch.
I earn zero points.
I feel embarrassed, ashamed, and
I want to quit, but
I keep my nose to the grindstone.
I still have one more shot.
The discus rolls off of my fingers,
And into the sky it flies,
Until, the wind shoves my discus down.
Yet, it’s better than a zero.
Courage;
Christopher F
The strength to do what is right,
The ability to face your own fears,
And to stand up against the tyrant.
But with valor comes the cowardly,
Who but watch the sinful beings do harm.
The mind illustrates courageous men.
Among them are Robin Hood and Hercules,
Saving the good from the most evil,
Giving riches to the poorest of poor,
And confronting the cruelest of witches.
A simple few earn the courageous name,
Only the truest and most honest.
The cost is high but the name is great.
A courageous man stands by his friends,
The man of courage will find hardship,
But if he has the heart of a lion,
“In my mind’s eye” thou art thy greatest.
Dreams
Victor G
Dreams are such wonderful effects of the human body
Like a doorway to a different reality
With a bright, warm feeling
That often reflects the now
So hard to leave, so believable
I thought they were real many times
As much as a helpless one without direction
Giving me idea, from middle to end
You never do remember the beginning
We have nothing to hold us down
Nothing to limit us besides our imagination
Dreams embrace me with their creativeness
So when I wake up, sometimes I may think
Am I fish dreaming I’m human?
Am I an ape dreaming I’m pasta dreaming I’m human?
You may never know what you’re dreaming
Remember, never assume that your surroundings are real!
Judgment Day
Oliver L
Hear them crash, hear them clash
In this night of raging fury
In the sky, they do flash
While mothers wail and worry
Do you see the soaring mountains
Standing straight and tall?
Do you see the tongues of flame
Dancing in it all?
Do you see the raging sky
Alive with wrath and fury?
Do see the crashing waves
The cold and ruthless jury?
We sit by, and we think
“Oh, we’ll be okay”
But in our hearts, we can see
THIS IS JUDGMENT DAY
Man on a Lake
Matt C
Joe was your average day man
He liked to go fishing on the lake
So for the 1st time he brought his son
But that was a big mistake
They packed up their things and went fishing
With nobody else there
The rode out their boat
And cast out their rods without a care
They sat there for a while
But no fish did they catch
It seemed to them
That the fish wouldn’t fetch
Well Joe’s son finally got a bite
And started reeling it in he thought
But it was really reeling him in
This was a really big fish he caught
His father had told him to let go
But his son’s hands were stuck
So Joe knew he must cut his son’s line
Or else he would fall in the muck
So he went and grabbed his knife
And cut the rod in two as if it were a stick
He saved him and paddled the boat ashore
They went onto the shore with a click
Discus
Ben C
My shirt is damp from the hot July day
The discus champion is fully underway
I am the last one up and on my last throw
To take the crown I must throw 118
As I pick up my favorite discus
My world begins to shake
It feels like the other discs are mocking me
I step into and dry my feet off
I put my feet into position like I have done so many times before
As I wind up I feel a shark go through me
I spin on one foot and take a mighty leap across the ring
I then fire my other foot back
Then I release my hips and whip my arm around like a rubber band
The disc comes off my hand like a spinning top
A fantastic throw, one of my best
The sweet fare-faced valentine measures the throw
She yells out 122
That’s all, that’s it, I am the 2012 discus champion
Rain Storm

Tacos
Emma F
Tacos they are yummy,
Tacos they are spicy,
Tacos they are wonderful,
They are really exciting,
Crunchy and delicious,
They make my taste buds flutter,
I am really in a pickle when
I’m out of sour cream,
People always ask,
Why are you obsessed?
Instead of using words,
I reply with a request,
Please try one,
Just for me?
And that is how it spreads.
Hockey
Henry D
[pic]
As luck would have it
Me, myself and I love to play hockey
To play this amazing game you need more than a tower of strength
You need wits, brains and the know how
You can’t budge an inch or it could cost you big
You can’t lose your wits in the middle of a play
You must have the courage and the self-reassurance to win the game
When you’re out on the ice you can’t chicken out
You have to play with your own flesh and blood
If that means you take one for the team
You take it with a grain of salt
You leave it all on the ice!
Secrets
Taylor J
A soft whisper from one being to another
They are the hurricanes that cause destruction,
Which cause street lights to tumble upon cars,
They are the volcanic eruptions that destroy islands,
Only when they are no longer withheld does that happen,
They are what keep dams from breaking,
Or keep friendships to sustain life,
But when shared thunderstorms are nonstop,
Volcanoes erupt everywhere with an endless flow of lava,
Tornados inhale cars and pieces of buildings,
They damage hearts of friends,
This is called a Secret,
Secrets are to be sealed in chambers of the mind,
Not meant to burst out of mouths for others to listen,
Keep them locked away from others,
Thou art an errant clapper-clawed dewberry
To expose something so priceless,
Keep a Secret safe.
Shh . . .
Don’t
let
the
secret
out!
Frankie the Toad and His Foolish Nature
Justine L
Frankie never was the brightest toad
on the street.
He has foolish nature and he’s slow on
his feet.
He is very gregarious and always
hilarious.
He was kind as could be, all he needs is
some knowledge to feed.
When someone lent him a quarter
he gave them a dollar,
if you want more money just
give him a holler.
He was gullible, naïve, just about
every foolish name you could think of,
his friend told his to change, but he
didn’t give them the time of day,
they didn’t know what to say so
they let him be.
The worst part is that he thought he was wise.
When a wise old karate teacher saw
him act so foolish, he had nothing to say but,
“A fool thinks himself to be wise,
but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.”
And till this day Frankie is forever
changed.
