Springtime Song
Fri, 04/09/2010 - 07:25 — mmiller2016Springtime Song
Birds sing, high in the branches
Warmed by the afternoon sun
Grass is fur on the hill's back
Winter has melted
An ice cube left in the sun
Flowers push their way
Up through the earth
Made softer by the melted snow
Gentle breezes kiss the branches
Swaying in a mesmerizing dance,
They sing together
In every sound is the promise of spring
And within that,
The promise of summer
Many sun-kissed days
And short, burning nights
Filled with flowery starbursts
And trees mantled
In emerald green

"My Secret Love...."
Fri, 04/09/2010 - 06:28 — cperez2016My love is out there, somewhere
First, I am going to put on my best rags
and set out to seek for her
I am going to ponder day and night
To look for the wicked one
who stole my weak, tainted
Heart
And purified it with a
Soft and gentle touch
And then I shall reward
By layin a kiss on thy lips
And thee I shall conquer and
Set my heart free
Or if to fail
Starve my naked heart
Till the last beat and pump
from vein to vein
Atery to atery
Till they are dryed up and
My heart gives the last stroke
And finally,then I shall lay down
On the clean, vast grass
And rest in peace

A Little Package
Fri, 04/09/2010 - 06:21 — ssanchez2016A rainbow of greens
Another of violets
A wonderous view
Just like a pilot's
Boxes of colors
They are so bright
A literal rainbow
That gives me delight
With this package comes a wonderful smell
Different aromas,
Put me under a spell
Ahhh!
This whole package,
Makes ton of smiles
See you next time
It'll jus be a while

''Who Are You''

''Who Are You''
I am the sun across one sky,
I am the graffitti with one eye.
I am the fire of love and the love
of a fire , I am the sky with blue eyes.
I am the tri-state area,with the building
looking like the one in time square.
I am the sanitation guy the one that cleans
up the streets with one eye.
I am the scene of the stars . I look at the earth all
the way from Mars.

How I HATE Spinach
Fri, 04/09/2010 - 05:49 — ceder-miller2016How I Hate Spinach
My mother set it down
right in front of me.
A pile of big green goo,
the smell of it made me rech
My head stearted to feel all woozy.
I shook my head, to regain my focus,
and watched in horror
as my parents ate it by the forkful.
It's slimy
It's green
It's wet
It's wilted
It's gross
It's toxic
It's worse than nitro-glycerine
I had to eat it
or else I couldn't have dessert.
I slowly lifted a leaf into my mouth.
Just then,
my nose might have stopped working
my taste buds probably exploded.
It slid down my throat
all slimy and wet
And dropped
with a plop
Straight down to my stomach
My insides shriveled
My poor stomach curdled,
this was by far
the most disgusting on earth.
Leaf by leaf,
Leaf by leaf,
I slowly chewed and swallowed
As I finished,
I envisioned a great, moist slab of chocolate cake
With a buttercream icing(we had some, of course)
And I waited, practically drooling
My Mom walked in,
and I sucked in my breath in anticipation
When I saw
she had brought out...
A BANANA.

I'm lost in my mind
Fri, 04/09/2010 - 05:26 — nhankin2016
White light flows above my head
Silently without a peep
I listen to the sounds in the room
Paper crumbling making that scratchy noise which I hate
People sweating so much I can almost hear the sweat drip down from their head
I see a bottle of water
Drops of water leak down the bottle making a circle around the cup
The water is cold staring at me in a hot and stuffy room
I can almost taste the strawberries and the watery kiwi that I wish I had right then
I smell the sent of paper as the pencil makes a chalky noise
Colors vibrate across the room in every direction
I’m lost in my mind

"Some days were long sentences flowing into one another"
Thu, 04/08/2010 - 10:07 — agrayburn2016Some days,
Feel like Artichoke hearts
An untouchable day
A day I don't want to get into
Other days feel like,
Yummy apple pie
I want to jump right in
Some days
Like rainy,
wet days
Are sour apples
The sour mood kicks in
Grumpy mood
Those sunny days
Make me jump
Jump for ice cream
I wish everyday
Was an ice cream day

The Key to the Galaxy
Thu, 04/08/2010 - 07:51 — mgreenfield2016I feel the cold stare on my face
stopping my heart,
turning it to ice,
incapable of loving.
I'm trapped in its power,
pulling me towards the key,
the key to the universe
chasing me.
Sucking out the sweetness,
replacing it with evil,
wanting me in its control
Pulling me to the key,
unlocking the galaxy.
I am pure evil,
so is he-
the cold monster of the galaxy.
My voice is just a whisper
as I wake up from my dream.

Summer
Thu, 04/08/2010 - 07:46 — alehman-ludwig2016OJ #4: Use your imagination to describe a place you imagine or a place you have briefly been
Turn one OJ into a poem
The salty air will engulf the land,
with the clear scent of Summer.
The gentle sea breezes will run through the beach,
salty and sweet and refreshing.
The smooth, white sand will be dotted
with tiny seashells, washed onto the shores
by raging waves,
thrashing and fuming, beating
the sand.
The ocean and the sky merge
creating a never-ending, limitless surface.
The deep, royal blue and the pure, light blue merge
in a dull, gray line.
The sky is a highway for seagulls,
cawing and swooping happily.
The seaside cottages will be a weathered gray,
and surrounded by white sand, and lush, green sea grasses.
The beaches will be dotted with people;
colorful towels and wide umbrellas
to shelter the vacationers from the scorching sun.
And after 10:00 when the sun sets,
stars will glisten in the sky,
and the crashing of the waves will lull you
to a deep slumber.

Some Days
Thu, 04/08/2010 - 05:39 — nmelgar2016Some Days
Some days are short
Some days are long
Some were okay
But some went all wrong
Some just kept going
On and on
Like a screeching cat
Or a badly written song
Sometimes days
flow into another
but you don't notice anything
not your sister or your brother
Some days change
Sometimes for good
Even if you don't like them
Trust me,you should
