The Night Sky

The night sky. So dark and exciting
I feel very small in its vast, deep, domain
Like a small speck of dust on an ever-moving wind
A midnight blue abyss
Specked with tiny flecks of light
Openings into its raging soul

Clear and bright, soft white light
So different than its surroundings
So calm in the dark blue
Guiding me, a wandering traveler to the safeness of home
They are so placid
So wise

- Anne D.

The Wind

The wind ever changing
Never the same
Or in the same place twice
It tells stories to the trees and me
Of where its going and where its been

Whispering through the trees
Rippling the placid water
Singing in the sky for any ones ears
Lazily blowing on weightless wings

- Anne D.

When I ate my cereal this morning....

When I ate my cereal this morning
the sparkling cinnamon stood out
like nothing I've never seen before.
The texture was so soft it was like jelly
I also found a little man in it
but it did not stop me from eating the cinnamon toast crunch.

The man and the roast beef

Once there was a man
who was walking down the street kicking a can,
he came upon a lonely roast beef
that had no home,
he decided to help the roast beef and fed him an ice cream cone
The roast beef was happy,
The man was broke
and the roast beef went out to drink a Coke.

- Dana P.

The Uncontented Cow

There was a cow named Bessie
who was extremely fussy,
she wouldn't eat her hay or oats
she only liked to chew on rubber coats,
The man named Bill who owned her
swore that he would never clone her,
So he sold her to a family named Demented
and Bessie was very contented,
she spent her life chewing rubber coats
while sitting on a pool float.

The Life of a Paper Clip

A paper clip is born
in a factory in Taiwan,
It sails the long hard journey to America
in a box with no light,
the paper clip arrives in America
it is very frightened,
what will happen to me now
it thinks what will I do now,
it is sold in a shop and taken
to an unknown house,
and before it can serve its use
the paper clip is stolen by a mouse.
Such is the life of a paper clip.

Untitled

Soft white, clear and bright
as the music of the night
shimmering brightly as I go
riding upon a ghost white doe

come with me
for now I shall run
into the everlasting burning sun

follow me into the open mouthed cave
find me there like a slave
working there day and night but working under
the morning light

Untitled

clear and reflecting
magnify me
as I swim
in the salty sea

Untitled

curling round like the sun
following me as I run
24-7 looking for me
falling down so painfully

- Sarah K.

The Mirror

In the mirror i see someone looking back at me
She is a lonely girl who looks real sad
Her hair is tangled and her face is real bad
I can feel her pain
But i am glad
That i am me and she is bad

- Dylan L.

The Wind

The wind is blowing though it is hot
Squirrels jumping from tree to tree
Leaves falling down on me

Good morning, Dave.

It's legs creaky and jerky, it strode 'round the room.
Its chest panel flipped open.
The glowing red conduit had popped a leak.
The chip was cracked, the circuit blown.
I felt around for the red button.

Untitled

When one journeys across the land of Valinor;
Through the mountains of Morican, and the lake of Drethdor;
One comes to the Forest Heart, green and alive;
And the grove of the fairie rings, where the elves dance.

Many a mortal has sought this sight;
to witness the fairy rings, green and alive;
and the little people merrymaking all through the night;
In the grove of the fairie rings, where the elves dance.

Oh! To dance with the elves, the dryads, the sprites;
Enchantment ensues those who dance in the light
of the moon with the little folk, green and alive;
In the grove of the fairie rings, where the elves dance.

But now the merry night draws to a close;
The magic and mystery come to an end;
To wait for another night when their time will come;
To the grove of the fairie rings, where the elves dance.

Help Me!

Help me! Help me!
I am falling from a tree!
Help me! Help me!
Where the heck can I be?
Help me!

Help me! Help me!
I don't know what to do?
Help me! Help me!
I landed in dog poo!
Help me!

Help me! Help me!
I have something on my shoe!
Help me! Help me!
It won't come off, oh what should I do!
Help me!

Help me! Help me!
I am falling from a tree!
Help me! Help me!
Where the heck can I be?
Help me! Help me!

A Poem

When I ate my cereal this morning,
It was superb.
It tasted like chicken,
seasoned with herbs.
I like new ideas,
never before heard.
if you've ever seen,
people with birds,
they usually like cereal
seasoned with herbs.
When I ate my cereal this morning,
I was heard.
I said to everybody that I like chicken,
Seasoned with herbs.

- Alex B.

When I ate my cereal this morning...

When I ate my cereal this morning,
It looked so boring.
A tiny bit slimy,
And much too grimy.
It tasted of moldy rat,
That an old person spat.
And was flavored with phlegm.
And some broken grass stems.
There were moles with holes,
And nasty boot soles,
That was topped with goat cream,
And a big pig's spleen.
It was much too much,
For me too handle.
So I held my stomach,
And ate a candle.

- Harry B.

Untitled

blanket of snow
it is now trapped forever
in a blanket of snow
a leaf falls and covers
the snow
then comes a black sky
so ominous that
the leaf gets blown
and
down
comes the rain
melting the snow
and flooding the ground.

- Quinn S.

I looked up the word ambitious...

I looked up the word ambitious and decided,
that one who is this is not confided,
they go around taking on great things,
and sometimes think they could even grow wings,
yet amazingly enough,
to many people it is known,
that these are kind of people that do not desire renown.

- Ranger S.

Radio Poem

There once was a great broadcaster,
Whose goal was to broadcast much faster,
His tape came unglued,
A short circuit ensued,
And the whole thing in the end was disaster.

- Ranger S.

Go you go help the whales
They are not in the dales
They can stand the hail
But they can not stand the wails

When I ate my cereal
I found my cat in it
He had been missing
For a week
But I still love him
And my parents do too

Food food food
I like food
You should to
Because food is good
So go eat some food

- David

Why, Why, Why?

Food, Food, Food
I eat a lot of it and try to get fat.
But it doesn't help
I still stay thin
I don't get it why don't I get fat
Why, Why, Why?

In the mirror I see...
a very thin boy
He thinks why am I so thin...
Even though I eat a lot.
Why, Why, Why?

- Adam R.

Hot, Hot, Hot

Why is it so hot?
Why, Why, Why?
Why the don't maintenance fix the air conditioner?
Why are they so mean?
Do they hate me?
Do they want me to burn?
Do they want me to die.

Help, Help, Help!
I am burning up in this room.
It is soooooo hot.
I need air
Air, Air, Air

- Adam R.

I found someone in my hair...

I found someone in my hair
It was not a teddy bear
It was a guinea pig
He was wearing a wig
That made me sad
So I told my dad
It made him mad
Even though it wasn't bad
I put it in my room
It picked up a broom
It started sweeping the floor
Then it broke down the door
It ran down the stairs
It tripped on my teddy bears
The guinea pig ran away

- Max C.

6 Little Poems

When i ate my cereal this morning,
it tasted strange that day,
it was not yet sweet,
but dull and beat,
i ate it anyway

Help, help, help the bats,
for they are blind at day, they
see at night, and they are quite
a sight, glistening in their sparkling way,
when day comes, they go to bed until the night comes again

Soft white, clear and bright,
is the snow tonight,
it sparkles and shines,
as the breeze sings a rhyme,
and the river flows into the sea

Angels on the wing,
to me, they seem to sing,
as they float on the sky,
they all seem to sigh,
as they wave good-bye to me

I have a cold,
it makes me sad,
my nose runs,
and my head hurts real bad,
I wish I could put my cold in a letter,
I'd send it away,
and then I'd feel better

I found someone in my hair, who was not there yesterday,
he was small, but tall, my hair formed a wall, for him to sleep til day,
He was thankful to me, for not charging a fee, and said he'd be on his way
He left that day, the sky was gray, I was sad to see him go,
but where he is now, I guess I'll never know

- Robin

Help, Help, the Rat

help, help the rat
for its tumor is fat,
and if he had a hat
he would live
with a bat,
and when it would storm he would live in a dorm,
and he would wait for the storm to pass his dorm,
and if there was mouse he would live in a house,
and if there was a cat he would scream "not that",
and take off his hat,
and go to his dorm, with his bat and another rat,
and stay away from the cat.
Fancy that!

- Haley

Where's My Nutbook and other nonsense...

Where's my nutbook this morning?
I can't find my nutbook?
I just found it in my duckbook
where I put all my luckbooks.
That's why I collect my nutbooks,
to put it in my luckbook.
Then my sister came along and hit me with her nutbook, because she wanted my luckbook
- Katie C.

Help, Help Humanity

One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead men got up to fight.
A blind man came to see fair play,
And a dumb man came to shout hooray!
Though as crazy as this may seem,
I just drank from a dried up stream.

- Chrissy G.

Breakfast

When i ate my cereal this morning,
I was surprised to see
One tiny reindeer, eating up a tree.
And it looked up from my bowl,
And then it said to me
"would you really like to try
one very tasty tree"

- Chrissy G.

Dictionary

I looked up the word ambitious and decided,
That when my anger subsided,
I would confront my friend,
To the end,
About her incorrect definition
...of ambitious

- Chrissy G.


rockin' and rollin' and rain

rockin' and roll' and rain
on a dark gloomy day
the music was bad
the people were sad
I will tell you one thing,
I'm sort of glad.

- Sawyer J.

Help Help!!

Help, help, I'm going to yelp.
the crazy monster is starting to melt.
It slops and it mops
all over the floor.
I'll find it a horror
to see much more.

- Sawyer J.

When I ate my cereal this morning . . .

When I ate my cereal this morning
I started to feel sick.
When I'm sick I get all pink
and throw up in the sink.
When I went to school
I feel down like a fool
and now people think
that I'm not cool.

- Sawyer J.

Food, Food, Food

What is Food ?
Where does it come from?
What does it look like?
Is it good
Is it bad?
Is it soupy
or
is it goupy?

- Kristy

I found someone in my hair!

I found someone in my hair and I did not care.
She looked of clay that did not want to play
at any time of the day.
She was queer when she drank her root beer,
and shy when she was a telling a lie.
She tried to say she was unhappy today,
because today was May.
She yelled and she screamed,
but to her dismay,
it was still May.
She gave up with a big loud yelp
and then kicked my scalp.

- Lauren J.
