Alison by Libby M.

She had only been about eight Was followed by an unknown fate We’d liked to play and have some fun April first two thousand and one. When it ended, I was in shock My face turned white as chalk Killed by her mother’s oldest son April first two thousand and one. I didn’t know if it was a joke My sound was reduced to a choke And her life had barely begun April first two thousand and o...

Family Vacation by Nate J.

Traveling in the car With my family inside On the new parking lot paved with tar Near the hotel, our car’s tire is blown on the side We settle into the room Find out my pants got a rip Then we wake up to get some food Going to the restaurant is already another trip On the beach, hot and sunny Boogie board on the water, still cold I forget my money And then we go into the town where the sovereigns are sold Back in the car; my brothers making a lecture AT LEAST I GOT A GOOD FAMILY PICT...

Ode to MJ by Garrett B

Jordan flew high and proud Up he went he was untouchable The Bulls kept on winning, four straight He could not bear the death of his dad But then his team gave him a helping hand. His mom, his fans, his teammates, pushed him To get that fourth trophy they couldn’t be touched Then his age got to him and he had to stop In 2000 he came back but he was no good for the wizards He finally was gone but still remembered Hall of fame, first year he was voted Not two thoughts about it He was the best ever seen in the game Don’t forget, Air Jordan in his memo...

Hand and Hand By Jessica M

Life with you is a journey I will take Through good and bad I will always hold your hand A love that no one can harm or can break A love that only a few can understand Our bodies are close as if we are one You are the piece of the puzzle I miss In the game of love I feel I have won And our perfect day is sealed with a kiss Without you I feel like I am nothing Nothing bigger than a grain of white sand Our love is complete with the perfect ring My love and loyalty come hand and hand When the sun grazes your beautiful face I will be with you in your arms embr...

By the Sea by Brianna T.

The sun starts to sink below the ocean As we hold each other close, hand in hand Time feels like its going in slow motion As we walk along in the white, beach sand. The cool waves gently crash against our feet As you look at me with those deep blue eyes And I could swear my heart skipped a beat When you turned and kissed me to my surprise. Never thought I could feel the way I do Being with you here, I am lost for words How lucky I am to find something new, I feel as though I’m flying among birds. I knew you were the only one for me On that precious night down by the s...

Lil Wayne by Brian R.

Dwayne Carter grew up on the streets He got his break when Cash Money heard his beats Better known as Weezy or Lil Wayne His flow tends to stay insane. Eating rappers like rare cooked meat He's so hot on the charts, ice can't cool his heat When a new song hits, other rappers feel the pain He's like a male lion, extremely hard to tame. Wayne named his first album "The Block Is Hot" He didn't expect for millions to be bought Dropping out of school at the mere age of fourteen He never thought that he would fulfill his dream. It was an easy battle to the top, but still Weezy fought And at the top of all, he kept planning his plot Wayne knew where to find the green He's done what needed to be done, seen what needed to be se...

Dark Eyes By Casey O

Laying in her bed is all she does now For without him there is No reason for her to wake up and face the day. Mascara smeared eyes Makes her look like she has died But still she crys For better days and for his return, Into her arms once again. But this will never happen For heaven is sure hard to reach from Earth Without leaving it in a hurse. So for now she waits for the day Where she can be reunited aga...

Ode To Snow Boarding by Derek H

On your way to the mountain, Waxing your new board, You watch the snow fall, And hope for that perfect powder. When you finally get there, After what seemed like The longest ride of your life, You throw on your gloves and boots, Then run for the ski lift. At the peak of the mountain, You tighten your bindings, Stare down the trail for a few seconds, And begin to accelerate, Then carve back and forth Through the powder. You reach the bottom, And can’t wait for the next run!...

Babe Ruth Sonnet by Connor F.

Standing at the plate he called the hit. The crowd roared as he stepped up to the plate. Looking down to the ground he proudly spit, For in this hit their breath he would take. Standing strong he raised his hand, The crowd was silent, not even a stir. All the crowd was at a stand, For now, history was about to occur. The pitch came, and it came hard, He launched his hands through the ball. Just from the crack you could tell it went far, While running, he knew this was over the wall. From this at bat a legend, a hero was made, To some he was the Great Bambino, but to most, the ba...

The Lecturer by Sarah S

There he stood on the podium, Telling us of all the good things in life, Making all the references, That keeps all wondering, It’s all in our references. Looking up to that someone, that tells all in a nutshell. Despite his autism, It is only too well, There is so much inspiration, Only you can te...

Orb of Mystery by Lindsey H.

That day the wood was a seeming fright Its sky was dressed in a cold, cold, white; The trees stood barren on the leaf strewn floor And the wind howled its dull roar A mysterious orb formed in the tree’s path Looking human-like in the sunlight’s bath; She seemed to be wearing a magenta smock Her parasol in one hand and in the other a clock It was time to leave the wood in a haunt was sensed In their pockets they had their cellphones clenched; Was it the sun’s beams playing tricks with their minds Or was it really a woman well past her time Out of the wood they quickly fled And couldn’t help wondering “Was she dea...

Summer storm by Danny F.

At the end of a long, hard day. I go my way. Long leash in hand. Feet in dark sand. The wind picks up, dark clouds come in. Far rains begin. Distant thunder; Lightning stalker. This way the harsh kayos approaches. Water blazes. Never concede, Go on? Agr...

Decisions by Morgan P

Confusion invades life itself clouding the shelf, first hard to find, in my young mind. Sadness drowns out all hope – all is lost, too high a cost is living life where risks are rife. It’s just not worth it, is it? You have to fight to maybe survive – Barely ali...

Things Aren’t What They Appear to Be by Kaitlyn B

I hide many things under my smile, Sometimes as an act of guile. Discontentment covered by glee. Things aren’t what they appear to be. I feel my heart is torn, And all I want to do is mourn. Inside, my emotions drive me crazy. Things aren’t what they appear to be. These days, there’s less truth than aberration. Take all of this into consideration. Emotions can be covered easily. Things aren’t what they appear to ...

The Snakes Eye by Anna K

The eye that does haunt me throughout the night, The crushing feeling of something so deep. It’s the eye that gives and takes away sight, Through every crack within the wall it seep. The dark eye making contact with your soul, You are enveloped, and longer calm. Time has come when you need to pay the toll, Your life disappears and leaves through your palm. The green surrounding enhances the feel, Of overwhelming emotion and pain. From your skin every part begins to peel, The truth is revealed and you are then sane. The serpent slithers out of sight, Hoping for one more victims the next d...
