My name is Julia and I am 10 years old. I write poetry and other creative writings.

 
EAGLE I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT YOU

Eagle eagle how do you have such
powerful eyes. Is it because your
body was made by? Oh eagle
why do you need those wings? Is
it because you need to fly so you
can see the world not the ground.
How do those claws work? Do the
claws hold your food you catch
to eat. Eagle I want to know
all about you. You are a creature
someone could be curious about.

SORRY

I am sorry to say I
got muddy foot prints in
the house.

I was playing with my dog so I
wanted to see if he could track
me down with foot prints. I wanted
him to hunt that's it.

I can't help it. So nice it
was because the dog found me. I like
him. Please blame the world or the
dog not me.

8 WAYS OF LOOKING AT A CHEETAH

1.

When the cheetah runs I can see the
power of its legs and black specks along
his back.

2.

When the grass is moving I can see
the yellow back with spots with
his legs in a position to jump and
eat its prey.

3.

When the cheetah is asleep
I can get a look at him
with his tummy faced down
with his legs calm.

4.

The cheetah eats his prey
with his white teeth are eating
his prey's flesh.

5.

I can see the cheetah
jump very far in a very
different position than before.

6.

Twigs crack with leaves covering
the cheetah that I can only see a little yellow
and black of its skin.

7.

In a cave when a baby
is born that will be the first
time you see a cheetah do something
nice.

8.

One night you see a cheetah
twirling and twisting so its enemy
couldn't catch him.

THE LETTERS

A is red E is black I is white
D is green U is blue those are the
colors of the letters

A and E are like the black dark night
when the sun is setting like a witch flying
on her broom with her cheeks hot like red
lava coming out of a volcano as black
rocks and ash come out

I is like at midnight you see white
ghosts around with your cheeks so pale
It comes out of the white paper in your book
that takes you to an adventure with
words

D is like the beach when there is seaweed
getting washed away. In the sea
you can see the reflections of the grassy
mountains that I might climb in
the future

U is like the river flowing in a
peaceful day the sky so blue as
the flowers by the river and the
ocean far away

A, E, I, D and U are like the world
of all colors compared together as the
red sun setting in the black night with
white ghosts and the green seaweed at the ocean
that is blue as the flowers by the
river

THE WORLD'S BOOKS OF STRENGTH AND MUSIC WITH SCIENCE

I have strength
I want to be creepy like a lizard
I don't need action
I need books
I like singing a song
I like the world

different things in the world
I need some strength
I need a song
I can camouflage if I am a lizard
I need a lot of music books
and a lot of action

I have a lot of action
I read books about the world
all kinds of books
I am little I am small but I have strength
I don't want to show-off just be a lizard
I want a peaceful day and sing a song

how will I make up a song?
I don't care about action
I don't care about a lizard
well, I care about a peaceful world
I help the world using my muscles and my strength
and reading science books and other kinds of books

I love science books
I am so cheerful I want to sing a song
at the top of my lungs and have some strength
I need energy to fight bad guys I need action
I want to be a wizard and help the world
lizards are cool that's why I want to be a lizard

a little tiny lizard
I learn about lizards from reading books
well, I don't need the world
I need a great little song
I am strong and I do have action
I am strong already I don't need strength

I can't have strength if I want to be a lizard
I don't need action I need science books
I do need a song for the country and the world.

GET TO SCHOOL (A SESTINA)

I see a cheetah
he has a lot of vitality
he hates going to school
so energetic he plays soccer
I see a panther
he writes poetry

I like poetry
you read poetry as fast as a running cheetah
you are as black as the night, panther
I have some vitality
I am ready to play soccer
I have to do math homework for school

I will be tardy for school
I need to write some poetry
I need to play soccer
I will run as fast as a cheetah
I will run with vitality
as fast as a panther

I need to run faster than a panther
I need to go to school
I don't have energy I walk furious with vitality
my dad writes poetry
I walked much slower than a cheetah
I kicked my legs like I was playing soccer

I do feel like I'm playing soccer
I wish I was black like a panther
I wish I had spots like a cheetah
I just need to get to school
I don't need poetry
I need a lot of vitality

I want to run I still walk with vitality
I am not thinking about soccer
or reading poetry
I need a ride by a panther
so I can get to school
is there any cheetah?

I saw a cheetah running with vitality
I went to school but can I play soccer?
I saw a panther but I want to write poetry

A RHYMING POEM ABOUT PENGUINS

Penguins are cool
they rule
there are all different kinds
they are smart, they won't be bad, losing their minds.
They camouflage in a cool way
I can't explain
The water is bright
the penguin has some white
There's a dark side, very dark
the penguin has black
The enemy are killer whales
The weakest penguin the one who fails
sees if that one gets eaten up by a killer whale
Penguins are zest
They are the best.

I AM A LIBRARY BOOK

I am a book I don't
like it when there's plastic
on me. There are water and
snot from those pesky people.
From all these hands it starts
to stink. When there is a
desk they shine a little
green stripe on me and
it awfully hurts. Uh oh
do you think that girl
is going to pick me with
those sticky fingers?
