Volleyball Scoring
The ball comes up,
it’s up to me to score.
It goes over the net,
the opposite player reaches up
his hand hit it over
I run up and bump it
my face skidding against
the rough sand.
The ball lands
I made the point.

Follow Your Arrow
The judges are staring
I blink
Is this a dream?
I pinch my arm
Yes, it’s all real
I pull back my
bow.
I reach for my arrow
I pull it back
letting go
oh so
forcefully
I see the arrow spin in the air
slowly reaching
it target
It spins and spins
I get dizzy
I don’t see my arrow
reach its mark
everyone is cheering.
confused I wake
Seeing people carrying
me cheering
I look over
my arrow reached the target
in victory
it had hit the yellow.

Science Accident
All the potions
All the experiments
Trouble is in the air
Ben looks at it all
smiling evilly.
All the colors
Red
Blue
Green
so overwhelming.
He runs over to the RED
mixing it with the
Orange.
It created fireworks
everyone claps.
He growls
He mixes the YELLOW
with it.
It turned into
a lollipop tree
everyone cheered
“Why won’t anything break?”
He yells.
Mrs. Lake laughs
“I knew you would try and
damage my potions
so I turned them
into great things,”
Ben cried and ran away.

Grandpa
Grandpa,
with his
bushy mustache, and
the way he tells his war stories.
Sure he is often yelling at the

and yelling at what kids today

but grandpas are always there when you need them
most.
But
My
Grandpa
is
1

the one that makes my day begin
the one that shines
brighter than the sun
burning into me
and my soul
oh that smile
with its perfect glow.

Night
Chirping crickets,
Owls hooting
Wolves, and Coyotes
howling through the night.
Life can do its own thing,
they all come alive
in the night
if only I could
stay awake
then I would be alive
in the night too.
Free Verse
Birds
Shooting up in the air
wings flap
I wish
I could fly
Fly so high
I could hear
the angels in heaven
see the stars
up close
going above the cotton
ball clouds
but it
won’t happen
Alone on earth
with nothing
bird wings
are keeping me aloft
with there soft
detailed wings
Free Verse
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
I see the worst of the dark
I see monsters maul
And creepers crawl
And I see the sky
falling on me
Then I see children
Sound asleep
I see them dream
The most amazing,
happy, dreams
I don’t see a soul
Getting disturbed
So I sleep
And I dream the dreams
I sleep the best sleep
Until the sun
Returns again in the sky
Free Verse
Bird Songs
I see the day
The day goes away
All the birds
Are gone
Not singing
Their precious songs
I don’t know why
The day must end
Can’t this all be pretend
I see the life
Of others sleep
So I weep
“I don’t want the
day to end,”
I say to momma
“But sweetie
it hasn’t ended,”
She says
“What do you mean,”
I say wiping tears
“You’re only thinking
of fear,”
Momma replies
Then I think
That when I wake
Life won’t be asleep
It will be awake
They will sing
And I will sing along
For day will come again
When a bird
Starts its morning song
Concrete/Picture Poem
School is Boring School is cool
I wake up
I go to school
Why is school
So uncool
When I see school
It ruins my day
I can’t think
Of anything good
Then it hits me
The reason why
We go to school
Because school is cool
It gets you knowledge
And a tuition for college
School is cool
No I lied it's not
it's boring
Concrete/Picture Poem
Last Lap
I circle
the last curve
I pace myself
then I speed up
I have people
on either side of me
I look left
I look right
I have to win
I sprint
their eyes go wide
I hit the finish line
That’s when I wake
from my dream
I dreamt a winner and
I woke a winner.
Free Verse
Sunset
The colors of the sunset
settle within me
I feel calm and
happy
The sun is warm
and the breeze sweeps across
my dark curls
The wind is greeting me
and I greet it
The wind seems to lift me
and gives me a
million little
kisses.
That sunset was beautiful
and that’s how every
sunset is for me
