The Field- Free Verse

Here we are,

All on the field.

This is where dreams are made,

But also where dreams can be crushed.

I lay my heart out and hope not to strike out,

I run like the wind.

Hoping not to get tagged out.

I am running from 3rd to home,

I run straight for the catcher not caring if I get hurt.

I slide right under her not knowing if I got tagged,

All of us are waiting on the ump,

Am I safe or am I out.

After what seems like an eternity he finally says,

                                                                                      says,

                                                                                                       says,

“She’s safe with the slide at home!”

“Ah-Chew!”- Free-verse

My Aunt Shirley can not have cats,

She sneezes and coughs,

One time I thought she might be dying.

She kept on making these really weird noises.

I guess getting her a cat for her birthday,

was not such a good idea?

Pickle- Limerick

There once was a pickle

A pickle once had a great tickle

the pickle tried to itch

But when ever he did he got a great twitch

Finally it it went away little by little.

You have Lost- Free-verse 

Darkness finds you wherever you hide

It will find you in the darkest corner

It will find you under your bed

I will find you, when you cry

the darkness grows It watches in

Pure delight saying to itself

I have won you have lost.

Here to Play- Free-Verse 

I play softball I’m not ashamed the dirt in my hair

The pain in my eyes when we lose

The bruises I get from getting hit are my trophies

They show my pride and dedication to the sport I love

I wouldn't trade those bruises for anything.

Tick Tock- Small Moment poem

I have been sitting in the same chair for over 40 mins,

Ten more minutes of this torture

I just wanna stand up,

Stretch my legs.

Move around,

My cramped up body

Can't take sitting much longer

Tick Tock

Its only a few more minutes left

but It feels like the clock is frozen

It feels like I will never be able to get out of this class room

Tick Tock

I am hungry I just want to go to lunch,

Its almost time to get out 3 more minutes

Tick Tock

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

I count down in my head!

RING!! The bell finally has rung!
