 Sacrifice!
      Jesus sacrificed
Showed people humility
  He forgave our sins

The Beauty of Baseball
                              Hitting a baseball
               is better than going to the mall.
                   In fact, hitting a line drive
              is like taking a dive into a lake.
                                It's very exciting
                                   like lightning.
                     It's fun to anger a pitcher
          like an angry bull ready to crush me.
                          It's intense and builds
                               a lot of suspense.
          It's fun to hit the ball to the fence
                               like Hunter Pence.
                       I would rather hit a ball
                  than probably anything at all.

Two thousand and twelve: is it true or is it false?
            I think some people might be mistaken.
            They say the world will come to an end
                And that everything will be taken.


                They say that the world will crack
           And all will be swallowed by the ocean.
          Buildings will tumble from the pressure,
      But, if no one knows if this is real or not,
                            Why all the commotion?


                            So the big question is,
                                     Do you believe?
   The Mayans predicted it, but you could be naïve.
                             If not, that’s alright.
Who knows, we might not have to suffer this plight.

Prominent Palm
                    It stands so prominent
                       About 50 feet high,
                          So long and tall
                It seems to touch the sky.


                  It watches over all of us
                 Each and every single day,
                          Swaying so gently
              From the windy Galveston Bay.


                         Her name is Penny,
             And every year she bears fruit
            Adding new coconuts to our city
 Helping the economy bring in lots of loot.


                Like the Statue of Liberty
                      She stands so proud,
                    I love living near her
                I shout with joy out loud!

Dance
                                 The lights flash on,
                                 The curtains go up,
                    I take my position on the stage,
                              The crowd goes silent.
    The music starts to play and I start my routine.


                    Leaping in the air so gracefully,
          I hear people in the crowd gasp in wonder .
               My eyes follow my hands up as I land,
                             I can’t see the crowd,
                       It’s black like the night sky.
                       I jump as high as a mountain.


                                   I start Cabrioles,
               My hands and legs are in perfect form.
             I land right in the middle of the stage,
                                 I stand straight up,
                 The music stops and everyone cheers.
I slowly bend over into a bow and the curtains close.

Refuge
                                                         I find my refuge,
                                           Deep in the heart of the forest
              Where the moss-covered trees cradle me in their warm embrace
                They are my protective parents that love me unconditionally


                                    I step hesitantly into the familiar lake
                                                        The water is frigid.
I overcome my fears and plunge headfirst into the dark depths of the water
                                       It flows in every contour of my body
         I move as fluidly as a fish, contorting my body in every direction
                                   Until finally, I come up, gasping for air


                                         Gliding to the center of the lake
                                               I pause floating on my back
                     Here I look up through the small opening in the trees
                       And wonder at the miracles and terrors of our world
                                  This is my refuge, where I am truly free


                I am awakened from my daydreaming by the shimmering perch
                      They surround my body, nibbling playfully at my toes
                            They swirl around me in a blurry silvery cloud
          They are my pestering younger siblings whom never leave me alone

                                    Here in the deepest part of the forest
                                                I find my happiest moments
                                             Here my soul is free to dance
                                                        This is my refuge.

                                                                           11

The Beach
As I walk on the beach, I take in its beauty
              Next to the sea I feel so puny
                The seas waves are so strong
    I wish I could watch them all night long
                      The wind whispers to me
        It says it came from the calming sea
    The seashells are polka dots in the sand
               I reach for them with my hand
                  Some of them are worn down
                From being tossed all around
               There are towering palm trees
                        Swaying in the breeze
             They are flimsy blades of grass
                   Moving without being asked
                   The sunset in the distance
                        Shows much brilliance
                    Isn’t the beach peaceful?

Computers
          The pinnacle of technology
         Their usefulness uncontrolled
        The mysteries they can unfold
              The powers they can bend
            And the world they can end
With their knowledge and information
     They don’t need a demonstration
        The knowledge they can obtain
       It’s more than the human brain
                  But they need control
                Or the world may unfold
          With them life can be easier
   Like the things they can automate
     It is certainly their best trait
                  We are their creators
        But sometimes they control us

Stars
                    I look up at the lovely nighttime sky,
        It looks like there are at least one million stars.
                            The puffy white clouds roll by,
                               I think I can even see Mars.
                                          How blessed am I?
                              To be looking at these stars.
                                     They are so wonderful,
                 The most beautiful ones I have ever seen.
                   They want attention, like Charlie Sheen.
                                          If I were a star,
                                       I would be so happy.
 I'd float around in the sky, while everyone stares at me.
I would dance around in the sky to entertain my audience.
                        I'm so bright; certainly not a dud.
            Don't get me wrong, it isn't easy being a star.
                Don't worry about me, I've got tiger blood!

Lost
       I am a person who is lost
          I don't know where I am
                or where I'm going
         I am lonely in this world
         save me, someone save me
   I am a bird with a broken wing
    I want to fly away but cannot
               only He can save me
                    but He is gone
           I am screaming for help
           but no one can hear me
               only He can hear me
                  will he save me?
            If he does not save me
            I will be lost forever
lost in this deep dark cold world
       I am a person who is lost.

Licorice
                             Cunning like the devil,
                            Yet fluffy like a cloud.
                                 She waits to strike
                            At an innocent passerby
                      With a coat darker than dusk.
                                      The cat hisses
                        at a pair of hands reaching
                                    to scoop her up.
                             The unsuspecting child,
    Unaware of her fate or the feline’s awful trait,
                           cradles the cat lovingly.



                             Quicker than lightning,
                                 The cat reaches up,
                          And slashes the girl’s lip.
                                It is sort of funny,
That I said to her over and over she will not bite.
                                ,
                          But, I never said anything
                                   About scratching.
                                        (True Story)

Swimming with the Snakes!!
                                             Camping is so fun
                                         Especially in the sun.
                  My parents gave me the choice to go or stay
                                                 I said I guess
                            So my parents took that as a yes.
                               I regret that now. What a mess!
                            Standing by the lake, then Splash!
         The cold water was like pins and needles all over me.
                        I wanted to cry but I laughed instead
                        With water dripping from off my head!!
                             Slithering snakes slowly swimming
                                         In the lake I fell in,
                                    And my head began to spin.
                                      Swimming with the snakes
                                              Swim, swim, swim.

Birds of a Nice and Colorful Place
                                           Birds of a nice an colorful place,
                                     All pleasant and as warm as a sunny day
                                               Covered in bright blue beaches
                                           With tons of coconuts and peaches
                           The trees, bright green towers that provide shade


                                                  Here there is peacefulness,
                                                 Nothing like conflict or war,
                                             Just happiness and endless shore
            Here the only thing you have to worry about is getting a sunburn
                      While everything else just fades away into peacefulness


                  Here the only thing you will hear is the chirping of birds
                                                        All colorful and red,
                                      You can even see them at night, in bed
                                These birds all perched in trees by the pool
                       Are one of the reasons why I find this place so cool!

                         Stairs
       They take you up, up, up
They take you down, down, down
    If they’re old, they creak,
If they’re new, they’re smooth.
                When you go up,
                 It gets tiring.
              When you go down,
             It feels relieving.
                If they’re hard,
                      It’s wood,
             Or maybe concrete.
                If they’re soft,
             It could be carpet

I Can Only Imagine
                                                                                   I can only imagine....
I walk down the dirtiest windy path to see the beauty and the strong feeling of pride about this horse


                                                                                   I can only imagine....
You can't think of something so wonderful, the eyes looking back at you look so deep, and they shine as
                                           dark as chocolate. The depth of beauty, peace, and relaxation


                                                                                 I can only imagine....
  You do something breathtaking, unreal, loving, and dangerous. As I throw the saddle on his back, slip
          the bridle on the ride, I jump and do the amazing sport of equestrian. It's fast, dangerous,
                               surprising. The best thing ever Some people don't get to experience it.
                                                              .


                                                                                  I can only imagine....
                             His hooves gallop one by one, smashing in the dirt as he drools and sweats
                                just to work for you. You feel something unreal like you're in a dream.


                                                                                   I can only imagine....
                          You walk in, UN tack him, wash him patiently. Your pride and joy shines in the
                         sun. He overflows with beauty. He is your best friend, giant, and is handsome.


                                                              He walks in the world....and fears nothing.

                                              You put him in his stall and he stands tall. You give him
                                                  treats and praise to show him that he made your day...


                                           I smile because- He is the best thing that's ever been mine.
                                                                                                       31

The Amazing Puppy
                            The puppy is a miniature dog in training.
                                           Also, they do love to play.
                             It has toys to chew and couches to tear .
                 But when it comes to survival, they will kill a bear.


                     Puppies are very energetic when they see people.
But don't bring them to Church because they might pee on the steeple.
                                                 They do like to play.
                                    So just let them swim in the bay.


                         Also, as you should know puppies have to go.
                                      So when they do, let them know.
                                              If they pee on the sofa,
                                      just relax and have a Coca-Cola.


                             The puppy is a miniature dog in training.
                                            Also they do love to play.

The Best Final Round Ever
                                     Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson,
                                             What an amazing twosome
                                           Pebble Beach here we go,
                                        They’re gonna put on a show.
                            They hit hooks, slices, draws, and fades
                             But it barely affected how they played.
                                   Now on the 17th tee ready to hit,
                           They teed the ball and bent their knees.
                                Phil hit first and Tiger hit second,
                                 And they both landed in the bunker  .
                      Tiger chipped close for a tap in par but Phil,
               Made it in the hole and the 1-up lead made Tiger ill.
               Here we go on the 18th, Tiger needing a good finish.
                                              Phil’s drive goes BOOM!
                                                   As well as Tiger’s.
                  Phil hits his next shot close but misses an eagle,
                           and Tiger needing an eagle to stay alive.
     The gallery is silent as the putt rolls and the crowd goes OH!
         But, the ball lipped out of the cup, and Phil wins by one.




                                                                    35

Wondering if Things Wonder
                       Wondering if things wonder
                         Is a very wondrous thing
                              Just imagine a tree
                      Wandering around in thought


                               Just imagine a book
                            Flying through the sky
                                         Or a shoe
                                     Walking on by


               What a different world it would be,
                         If calculators could talk,
                             If pencils could think
                           Would we wonder at all?


                       Wondering if things wonder
                    Is a very interesting thought
                          But in the end, be glad
                       That we can wonder at all.

Metamorphosis
                A caterpillar sits on a leaf waiting for its chance to flee from the monster
                                                                 Oh does it wish it could fly
                                                   But instead it sits motionless like a rock
                                                                 Oh does it wish it could fly
                                                      Just at that moment it began to change
                                                                                 It could fly
                                                                                It could fly!
                                             Then it flew away to the safety of the treetops
                                                            Laughing at the monster with glee
The monster was filled with so much rage it jumped as high as it could in a final attempt to
                                                                          Catch the butterfly
                                                                           And missed utterly
                             When finally the butterfly was free, it lived happily ever after




                                                                                           39

The Sun
                            When the morning comes, the sun says “Hello”
                           With its smile as bright as a campfire’s glow
                                       When he smiles everyone will know
                                     It’s going to be a great day today!
                     Then everyone rejoices and lets out a big “Hooray!”


                  Then comes the afternoon, as it plays hide and go seek
             It tries to hide but it’s as big as an elephant, at his peak
When the shivering sun hides in the shadows it gives off a loud, SQUEAK!
                           Even though the Sun is as hot as a summer day
                 He gets so cold, he says “ We are going to play my way!”


                         As the day ends, the semi-dramatic sun descends
                                         But then comes back recommends
                                                   For all of us attend,
                                             The joyfulness of laughter,
                                               And a Happily Ever After…




                                                                       41

Sweet Soda
                                             Soda


            I hear the fizz as the can pops open
      I look over in that direction and wonder...


                               What could that be


         But then I realize and say “oh silly me”
It must be the sweet soda that always delights me


                                So bubbly so cold
        There must be over a million bottles sold


           It has that wonderful refreshing taste
                      That will never go to waste


                                    I love it now
                                  I loved it then
           And I will always love it till the end


                   With every sip comes happiness
                     Without it is only loneliness
                        I don’t know what I would
                              If I didn’t have you

Gecko Poem
                                There was a man in stilettos
                                  Who met up with many geckos
                                      He thought it quite odd
                                 To meet up with such a squad
                                          It was like a dream
                                          To see such a scene
                               He leant does the their height
                           And said “You are quite the sight”
                   And the only thing they would respond was,
“Fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance”
                               He wasn’t sure what they meant
                         It was causing him quite the torment
                            So he decided to leave them alone
         And as he raced to the phone, he tripped on a gnome
                      And the geckos cackled all the way home

Mitten the Kitten
                   There once was a kitten
                     Whose name was Mitten
                         She ran from home
                  And got caught in a dome
          Then got out like a water sprout


                   There once was a kitten
                     Whose name was Mitten
                 She flew away from school
                         She flew and flew
                        Because she “knew”
           That homework is a piece of poo
                        Then when she flew
                      She screamed woohoo!
     Because she was done smelling like poo

Homework=POOP
                         Homework makes me puke
                            Up last night’s food,
                           Oh I hate it so much,
  Sometimes it makes me puke up earlier’s lunch.
                            I wish it was better,
               But all it does is change my mood
                  From being nice to being rude.
                               I hate it so much
                          I can’t bear to touch,
                       A thing of such poopiness
                                Oh it is hideous
            It sometimes gives people hepatitis.
Teachers surely should not give us such a thing,
       But they think hating it is just a fling.
                                 Oh how it stinks
                   I would never give it a wink.

             When a baby’ born,
                         s
An angel earns both their wings.
             Together they fly
                     ,        .

The Rose and the Butterfly
                                               A butterfly landed delicately on a rose
                                              It smelled the sweet rose with its nose.
                                                       A small child saw the butterfly.
                                                             She didn’t mean to impose,
                                                          But this was quite the rose.
                                       The sweet smell of the flower tingled her nose.
                                                             Then, the butterfly arose.
                                                            It started to fly far away,
                                                                Never to be seen again.
                                                  She watched as it danced in the air ,
                                                           But it suddenly disappeared.
Then she watered the rose. She then too arose and went home. Soon the child returned,
                                                     But only to find a withered rose.
                                                         Ah, but what do we have here?
                         The butterfly had returned to mourn at the base of the stem.
                                          Sadly, it flew away, never to be seen again.




                                                                                     51

Into the Forest
                                Leaves as green as jade,
          away from the destruction that’s all man-made,
               and into the forest with no turning back,
            far from the smoke turning all things black,
                       under a canopy so green and lush,
                   away from all of the hustle and rush,
          through the woods, where deer frolic and play,
          away from the city and the sky’s eternal gray,
                 and the birds chirp merrily in the sky,
               a long distance away from those who sigh,
               and then, in a pasture, bright and green,
                     there is further beauty to be seen,
                    poppies and posies cover the ground,
                     and daisies are blooming all around,
         the sun dapples the meadow in a brilliant gold,
as an evening breeze blows by, very crisp and very cold,
                       and as the sun begins to descend,
                       you wish this day would never end,
       but go to sleep and let your dreams take flight,
           as the stars whisper a cosmic “good night...”

   I can jump as high as a skyscraper
                  I cross over people.
                  I make amazing plays
                I make amazing dunks.
                   I do ankle breakers
          I make a lot of people fall.
  I do up and under dunks on big men
I am known for doing tomahawk flairs.
            I am swift like a cheetah
           I am ferocious like a lion.
                           I am flyin'

A Dolphin's Life
     The ocean waved as I said goodbye
                         Blah Blah Blah
                    Was the only sound
                      that the strange
                        creatures made


                    After a few jumps
                       and twirls the
                   crowd of creatures
                   roared louder than
                       a storm at sea


                  As things had ended,
                         I met my wife,
                      a show performer
                        I was for life.

I Am A Rainbow
                               I am a rainbow
                 A simple refraction of light
            Although I only appear sometimes
                I am such a beautiful sight!


                    Red, yellow, blue, green.
   These are my colors that people have seen
         A pot of gold, some leprechauns too
                 Lay on my ends, not the loo


                      Oh, how I despise black
               The color is just oh-so whack!
                           I just have to say
Never in my life have I seen a color this way


            As I wait to fill people with joy
      Especially all the little girls and boys
     I sit there to think and wander and see
             What would people do without me?


                               I am a rainbow
                 A simple refraction of light
            Although I only appear sometimes
                  I am such a beautiful sight

Cutest Miniature Schnauzer Puppy Yet
                                               I am a miniature schnauzer puppy ruff ruff
                                                                   I love my master family
                                                   Running around at different places, and
                                                        the walks around the neighborhood.
            I love squeaky toys like one that is shaped like a bone with squeakers inside
                           I hate wearing clothes like a bandana around my neck or collar
                                          I am a very lucky little puppy to have a family
        I am very small compared to and scared of a German shepherd and other big breeds
              I am not scared of most people but can be scared of other breeds than mine
                                                            I have no dog friends but I do
                                                                Have lots of human friends
                                            I feel very small but strong at the same time
                                                                  I eat up all of my toys,
                                                                    Beds, treats, and food
                                                                    I might want to be hog
                                                                I would rather be a dog or
                                                                  A puppy instead of a hog
                                                  I love being a puppy even if I am small
                                              I am a miniature schnauzer puppy, ruff ruff

A Lock is like a Rock
                             I am thrown,
                                Very hard,
                              Like a ball,
                  I soar through the air ,
                      I am gray all over ,
                              I am bumpy,
                        I hit the ground,
                                Very fast,
                           Like a rocket,
                          I am very hard,
                                   A lock,
                          Is like a rock,
                    And also hard-headed,
            I am very big like a boulder ,
             Or very small like a pebble,
                        Most of the time,
                               I'm a rock,
                                    Round,
                                    Round,
                                    Round.

I am a Penguin Poem
                                        I am a penguin
                                   I live in the Arctic
   It gets chilly and I go “burr burr” and no one can
                                           Ever hear me
            I live in an igloo that is like a jail cell
                              My parents love me a lot
         But they can never find the money to pay the
                                        Electricity bill
                  But the one good thing about my life
                                     Is my BIEBER FEVER
               Every time I see Justin I get the fever
                            I love him and he loves me
                                But the funny thing is
                                 He’s part of my family

Just a Tiny Fish
                             Just a Tiny Fish
                         I can feel it coming
                                 Closer…closer
   Fast like a motorcycle racing for victory
               The heavy swishing of its tail
             Like a humongous humpback whale
                                  But it’s not
                         It’s faster stronger
                                    ,
                         And I can’t get away
                              Just a tiny fish
                           Too small, too slow
      The rest of the ocean will never know
     One little fish won’t make a difference
                  Up on land, they don’t care
                         It’s faster stronger
                                    ,
                         And I can’t get away
                              Just a tiny fish
                           Too small, too slow
                         Uh-oh, here it comes
                                        CHOMP!

Monkey Trouble
                Every time when it strikes nine
               I think about swinging on a vine
              I don't know where I am right now
                    but I think I can see a cow
                          Zookeepers come and go
                     and one is named Malory Moe
               She feeds me and gives me a bath
                 but that is it at least at that
                         So I sit here all alone
         the doors open and I think I'm at home
but apparently I'm just a nut sitting in my hut
     so as it is ending I say ohoh ahah monkey!

                        I get to go in their bodies
 I go out a very weird way you do not want to know
                   Then the box goes into the trash
                                      Covered in ash
                                     Pepperoni pizza

Quint
                                                  I am not vicious.
               I am gentle, even when the cat viciously attacks me.
                                                      I am not mean.
                                I am loving; everyone is my friend.
                                                     I am not angry.
               I like when my people come home because I am happy.
                                                      I am not evil.
         I am good to have around when strangers come to the door  .
                                               I am not aggressive.
                 I am protective when my boy cries longer than day.
                                                I am not dangerous.
I am safe when I am curled up like a ball with my head in your lap.
                                            I am not unpredictable.
                   I am misunderstood when I jump up to greet you.
                                                  I am not a killer.
                                      I am grateful you rescued me.
                                                         I am Quint.
                                                    I am a Pit bull.

I was Fire
                   One day I was Fire
             I am the Great magician
                        Nate Newhouse
                 This is my adventure
        I once turned myself to fire
            With the wave of my wand
                     Zap goes my wand
                     Bam goes my body
                             I am Fire
             Fire is very conferrable
       I got sleepy so I found a log
Ahhhhhhhhh I could do this every day
                           I wake!!!!!!
                               What????
                         I'm in a fire
                                   Then
                            I remember
                             I am fire
                 This is my adventure

The Sailor Returns Home
                         There can be seen a lighthouse
                                Where the seas meet land
                             To guide sailors onto shore
               Where the boat will once again meet sand
           And the sailor returns home safe and sound...


                                   I am a radiant light,
                               Shining from the dark sky
                  A sailor has spotted something bright,
                  I looked like a star off in a distance
       That could be seen through the mist of the night.


            And the sailor has begun to relax a bit more
                                        Like a safe mouse
                             That has escaped from a cat
                                  In a lit up light house
           And the sailor returns home safe and sound...

I am the hungry Cow
                                        I am very Hungry
      So hungry I could eat all the hay in the universe
  Where Farmer Dale is with fresh food, I will be there
                  When it is sunny and when it is rainy
                              I will still be very hungry
             For Christmas as a cow I got a bale of hay
                                  With a snail on the top
        When I get hungry I go "MOO MOO" but as always
           Only the quail hear me, it's like I'm in jail
                As a cow I have to take care of the sow
                         While the mothers hunt for food
                                I am stuck with the rude
          Also with my hunger I am usually very thirsty
                        So while I eat and while I drink
                                       I will always think
                         about what my next meal will be
                                         as a hungry cow!

The Thanksgiving Turkey
                                            I am a turkey
                   I love when thanksgiving comes around
                                I am the star of the day
                  Without me dinner wouldn’t be the same


                                          Big juicy legs
                       Hot and spicy and mild seasonings
                                                  “O My”
                                    Cooked to perfection
                                    I make a tasty treat


                     Creamy mashed potatoes on my right
                            Tart cranberries to my left
                                         Stuffing inside
                                 “ahhhh” What a delight


                    When dinner is over I   sit in bellies
                                  My wing   in the father
                                   My leg   in the mother
                   And who knows where my   head has gone


        As the day ends and the room fills with laughter
                                 I know i have satisfied
                        At least till next year... I hope



                                                        83

  • 5. The Beauty of Baseball Hitting a baseball is better than going to the mall. In fact, hitting a line drive is like taking a dive into a lake. It's very exciting like lightning. It's fun to anger a pitcher like an angry bull ready to crush me. It's intense and builds a lot of suspense. It's fun to hit the ball to the fence like Hunter Pence. I would rather hit a ball than probably anything at all. 3

  • 7. 2012 Two thousand and twelve: is it true or is it false? I think some people might be mistaken. They say the world will come to an end And that everything will be taken. They say that the world will crack And all will be swallowed by the ocean. Buildings will tumble from the pressure, But, if no one knows if this is real or not, Why all the commotion? So the big question is, Do you believe? The Mayans predicted it, but you could be naïve. If not, that’s alright. Who knows, we might not have to suffer this plight. 5

It watches over all of us Each and every single day, Swaying so gently From the windy Galveston Bay. Her name is Penny, And every year she bears fruit Adding new coconuts to our city Helping the economy bring in lots of loot. Like the Statue of Liberty She stands so proud, I love living near her I shout with joy out loud! 7

  • 11. Dance The lights flash on, The curtains go up, I take my position on the stage, The crowd goes silent. The music starts to play and I start my routine. Leaping in the air so gracefully, I hear people in the crowd gasp in wonder . My eyes follow my hands up as I land, I can’t see the crowd, It’s black like the night sky. I jump as high as a mountain. I start Cabrioles, My hands and legs are in perfect form. I land right in the middle of the stage, I stand straight up, The music stops and everyone cheers. I slowly bend over into a bow and the curtains close. 9

  • 13. Refuge I find my refuge, Deep in the heart of the forest Where the moss-covered trees cradle me in their warm embrace They are my protective parents that love me unconditionally I step hesitantly into the familiar lake The water is frigid. I overcome my fears and plunge headfirst into the dark depths of the water It flows in every contour of my body I move as fluidly as a fish, contorting my body in every direction Until finally, I come up, gasping for air Gliding to the center of the lake I pause floating on my back Here I look up through the small opening in the trees And wonder at the miracles and terrors of our world This is my refuge, where I am truly free I am awakened from my daydreaming by the shimmering perch They surround my body, nibbling playfully at my toes They swirl around me in a blurry silvery cloud They are my pestering younger siblings whom never leave me alone Here in the deepest part of the forest I find my happiest moments Here my soul is free to dance This is my refuge. 11

The Beach As I walk on the beach, I take in its beauty Next to the sea I feel so puny The seas waves are so strong I wish I could watch them all night long The wind whispers to me It says it came from the calming sea The seashells are polka dots in the sand I reach for them with my hand Some of them are worn down From being tossed all around There are towering palm trees Swaying in the breeze They are flimsy blades of grass Moving without being asked The sunset in the distance Shows much brilliance Isn’t the beach peaceful? 13

Computers The pinnacle of technology Their usefulness uncontrolled The mysteries they can unfold The powers they can bend And the world they can end With their knowledge and information They don’t need a demonstration The knowledge they can obtain It’s more than the human brain But they need control Or the world may unfold With them life can be easier Like the things they can automate It is certainly their best trait We are their creators But sometimes they control us 15

  • 19. Stars I look up at the lovely nighttime sky, It looks like there are at least one million stars. The puffy white clouds roll by, I think I can even see Mars. How blessed am I? To be looking at these stars. They are so wonderful, The most beautiful ones I have ever seen. They want attention, like Charlie Sheen. If I were a star, I would be so happy. I'd float around in the sky, while everyone stares at me. I would dance around in the sky to entertain my audience. I'm so bright; certainly not a dud. Don't get me wrong, it isn't easy being a star. Don't worry about me, I've got tiger blood! 17

The unsuspecting child, Unaware of her fate or the feline’s awful trait, cradles the cat lovingly. Quicker than lightning, The cat reaches up, And slashes the girl’s lip. It is sort of funny, That I said to her over and over she will not bite. , But, I never said anything About scratching. (True Story) 23

Birds of a Nice and Colorful Place Birds of a nice an colorful place, All pleasant and as warm as a sunny day Covered in bright blue beaches With tons of coconuts and peaches The trees, bright green towers that provide shade Here there is peacefulness, Nothing like conflict or war, Just happiness and endless shore Here the only thing you have to worry about is getting a sunburn While everything else just fades away into peacefulness Here the only thing you will hear is the chirping of birds All colorful and red, You can even see them at night, in bed These birds all perched in trees by the pool Are one of the reasons why I find this place so cool! 27

  • 33. I Can Only Imagine I can only imagine.... I walk down the dirtiest windy path to see the beauty and the strong feeling of pride about this horse I can only imagine.... You can't think of something so wonderful, the eyes looking back at you look so deep, and they shine as dark as chocolate. The depth of beauty, peace, and relaxation I can only imagine.... You do something breathtaking, unreal, loving, and dangerous. As I throw the saddle on his back, slip the bridle on the ride, I jump and do the amazing sport of equestrian. It's fast, dangerous, surprising. The best thing ever Some people don't get to experience it. . I can only imagine.... His hooves gallop one by one, smashing in the dirt as he drools and sweats just to work for you. You feel something unreal like you're in a dream. I can only imagine.... You walk in, UN tack him, wash him patiently. Your pride and joy shines in the sun. He overflows with beauty. He is your best friend, giant, and is handsome. He walks in the world....and fears nothing. You put him in his stall and he stands tall. You give him treats and praise to show him that he made your day... I smile because- He is the best thing that's ever been mine. 31

Puppies are very energetic when they see people. But don't bring them to Church because they might pee on the steeple. They do like to play. So just let them swim in the bay. Also, as you should know puppies have to go. So when they do, let them know. If they pee on the sofa, just relax and have a Coca-Cola. The puppy is a miniature dog in training. Also they do love to play. It has toys to chew and couches to tear . But when it comes to survival, they will kill a bear. 33

They hit hooks, slices, draws, and fades But it barely affected how they played. Now on the 17th tee ready to hit, They teed the ball and bent their knees. Phil hit first and Tiger hit second, And they both landed in the bunker . Tiger chipped close for a tap in par but Phil, Made it in the hole and the 1-up lead made Tiger ill. Here we go on the 18th, Tiger needing a good finish. Phil’s drive goes BOOM! As well as Tiger’s. Phil hits his next shot close but misses an eagle, and Tiger needing an eagle to stay alive. The gallery is silent as the putt rolls and the crowd goes OH! But, the ball lipped out of the cup, and Phil wins by one. 35

Then everyone rejoices and lets out a big “Hooray!” Then comes the afternoon, as it plays hide and go seek It tries to hide but it’s as big as an elephant, at his peak When the shivering sun hides in the shadows it gives off a loud, SQUEAK! Even though the Sun is as hot as a summer day He gets so cold, he says “ We are going to play my way!” As the day ends, the semi-dramatic sun descends But then comes back recommends For all of us attend, The joyfulness of laughter, And a Happily Ever After… 41

I wish it was better, But all it does is change my mood From being nice to being rude. I hate it so much I can’t bear to touch, A thing of such poopiness Oh it is hideous It sometimes gives people hepatitis. Teachers surely should not give us such a thing, But they think hating it is just a fling. Oh how it stinks I would never give it a wink. 49

She didn’t mean to impose, But this was quite the rose. The sweet smell of the flower tingled her nose. Then, the butterfly arose. It started to fly far away, Never to be seen again. She watched as it danced in the air , But it suddenly disappeared. Then she watered the rose. She then too arose and went home. Soon the child returned, But only to find a withered rose. Ah, but what do we have here? The butterfly had returned to mourn at the base of the stem. Sadly, it flew away, never to be seen again. 51

  • 55. Into the Forest Leaves as green as jade, away from the destruction that’s all man-made, and into the forest with no turning back, far from the smoke turning all things black, under a canopy so green and lush, away from all of the hustle and rush, through the woods, where deer frolic and play, away from the city and the sky’s eternal gray, and the birds chirp merrily in the sky, a long distance away from those who sigh, and then, in a pasture, bright and green, there is further beauty to be seen, poppies and posies cover the ground, and daisies are blooming all around, the sun dapples the meadow in a brilliant gold, as an evening breeze blows by, very crisp and very cold, and as the sun begins to descend, you wish this day would never end, but go to sleep and let your dreams take flight, as the stars whisper a cosmic “good night...” 53
