The buzzer beater-sports poem

The score was 55-54,

the clock was at 20 seconds,

the opponents made a free throw,

the ball is passed,

again,

and again,

and again,

 

SWISH

they scored,

we’re down by 2,

5 seconds on the clock,

I get the ball,

I’m at half court,

4,

3,

2,

1,

I throw with all my might,

just as the buzzer goes off,

 

the ball flies through the air,

everyone is quiet,

watching,

staring at the ball…

Swish,

It hit the net.

When you left us,

It gave me a fright,

I don’t know what time,

But it was at night.

 

In case you are wondering,

I am alright

Sometimes I may cry

just go towards the light.

Pizza-concrete poem

 only type of crust I like is thin

I like cheese. I think that it’s one

of the best things about pizza,

I think that loads of Toppings

are yummy beyond recognition

Sometimes I order it to go

and other times at home

I want pizza every day

It’s good with lots of

toppings no matter

how many there are

including olives,

mushrooms, and

anchovies.

this food

is my

fav

.

 

 

FIRE-aabb poem

It’s caused by a chemical reaction,

I think it’s time to take action.

It’s spreading really fast,

that house is in the past.

 

That big bridge is full of rust

that support is about to bust

every fire is so bright

all will fall before it’s might

 

 

 

Small moment poem- abcdd poem

I was helping my neighbor sell cookies

we rode around town on our bikes

we went to my friends house

it started to rain, rain cold as ice

If it was hot out it would have been nice

 

as it fell it turned to hail

pieces slamming into my nails

the pieces hurt it, And then I bleed

5 minutes later the storm had ended

 

I went to bed and with a start

I heard a noise that sounded like explosions

I got up to see what it was

I immediately regretted it, It was a blunder

I stubbed my toe, and yelled as loud as thunder

stress-free verse

 

When ever I have work

I plan what I’m going to do

But when the time comes

I forget and feel bad later

It feels like I get blamed for everything bad

When this happens I get mad

Sometimes maybe even sad

But when I do something good

Someone else gets the credit

 

 

everyone changes-free verse

People expect me to be immature

as I was a year or 2 ago

Or maybe even be dumb because the way I act

But I have changed and so have you

no matter how it happens

it happens to you

When it happens you may be asleep

you could get zits or pimples

you could get a cut or scar scar

You could realize why people hate

Or why people like you

You could be more mature

You could even develop cancer

But the point is no matter what happens right now

Could completely change tomorrow

or the next day…

or the next day…

or the next day…

or the next.

 

 

what a world-free verse

What type of world do we live in

where people get away with countless murders rapes and thefts

What type of world do we live in

where you could walk down a street

and get mugged by a stranger

what type of world do we live in

where people in foreign countries starving

while we’re here wasting

so much of our food each year

what type of world do we live in

where you could be driving in a car

and witness a car theft happen in front of you and do nothing

This doesn’t have to be our world

we can make a difference

what type of world do you want to live in?

 

 

Don’t judge-free verse

I listen to different music

I don’t like sports

everyone’s unique with their own tastes

Before you openly judge someone

think how does that person compare to you

do you like or not like them because of what shirt they wear?

It is because they listen to certain music.

Just think what do they think of you

And next time don’t be so quick to judge.
