I AM A PORCUPINE

I am a porcupine which most
people are afraid of. Once I
almost got ran over
by a car but I was so short
so the car ran right over me
but I was not hurt. Some
people try touch me but
they are too scared. One day
there was man, somebody else
called him Jonathan Mayhew
and a little girl behind him
that looked Chinese. He lost
his balance and landed on me and
on his chin were some of my
spikes. That also happened to
my ancestors one of them ran
into somebody named John Muir.
He did not shave and more
grew but more soft. That happens
all the time and I hate it. Oh
no! That guy is losing
his balance. Not again, OW.

HOW HOT CHOCOLATE WAS INVENTED

Hundreds of years ago there was no
hot chocolate, one day somebody
was eating chocolate with hot water
he dropped the chocolate in the
water and did not even notice,he
shook the water so it would cool
down and started to drink and it
tasted like chocolate he called it
hot chocolate and we still have hot
chocolate!


 
PLANET LOCUDA

I sit at my desk doing homework,
What is five to the seventh power
or three to the fifth power, I asked
myself, but all of a sudden a
telescope appeared and I decided
to have a quick glance, I peered in
and WOW! There were big sky-
scrapers everywhere and unusual
creatures, they looked like animals
from the future, for some wierd
reason everything was floating in
the air exept the buildings,the
clothes were totally wierd! There
was an ocean, people were
surfing on boards but there was
a paddle with their boards, the
airplanes were much more small
and there were new flavors of ice
cream, yikes, I turned the telescope
accidentally and there was a different
city in planet Locuda I would call
it! There were supposed to be horrible
monsters everywhere. People dressed
in the same clothes while running.
Some people held sticks (looked like wands)
and robes with a hat shaped as the
trash can we have in our house
with fancy string on it.
Lights were coming out of their
sticks like lightening zapping
the monsters, oops. I turned the
telescope again. There was a big
computer, people were jumping on it.
I would call this city the technology
center. Mini robots looked like
a mailman. It would stop by people
and hand a package to them and
go to another person. Each letter
on the colossal computer looked like
an office for a person. The weird
people with sticks and a robe would
appear and jump into a letter or button
on the computer. "Julia! Julia! Julia!
Finish your math homework," my Mom
yelled, and all of a sudden the telescope
disappeared and back to my boring
homework.

THE ASCENDING DANCE!

In Boulder, there is a danced called
the ascending mountain dance

All what you have to do is put on your ropes, you have to do this dance. You have to get ready to climb. There is a helicopter beneath you if you are not an expert. Hop with one foot while your other foot is scratching your itch on your head while arms are by your side and do a flip in the same position and shake your body like the whole ocean is in your body then the foot you are not hopping on and do your hair. One of your arms will untie the rope and untwist your body so you will land on the helicopter. I warned you that only experts should do this dance! Now I have to call the hospital.


 
TIGERS

Tigers jumping up and down
tigers chasing butterflies
tigers growling at me
tigers doing a backflip
tigers helping the sick

tigers eating chocolate cooks
tigers deciding what outfit to wear
tigers tucking their cubs into bed
tigers doing a crossword puzzle like my dad
tigers teaching poetry

tigers are going crazy
tigers are gaping over the world
tigers blowing in a trumpet
tigers just learned to ride a bike

tigers chasing their tails
tigers smoking a lot
tigers getting revenge on evil glimpses
tigers watching their favorite tv show
tigers blowing away the sun so they can sleep!

I AM A BAG

I am a bag,filled with dirty
garments and when people
pick me up I feel like I am
going to split in half,little
people as big as me
stick their head in,yuck!
Their breath smells bad.
When big people come
they pull away little people
I think you call them bubies
or bibies or babies or
something like that,oh no!
I see bibies or babies in front
of me,Is there a nose plug?
YUCK!

LETTERS EVERYWHERE

J is orange, U is black,
L is blue, I is brown
and A is red.

J is when you are in the
car and when you look in the
sky the clouds look orange and
the fire which seems like the
dragon's flames right above
my head!

U and L is when you see the
blue sky when a panther is behind
a bush ready to pounce or a crow
and the ocean and it is a
leopard shark with black spots
and I swim ashore and find my dad's black
coat.

I is when I am in a ship with
brown wood and I see a a storm and
the clouds are brown when I fall
in a puddle of mud and the
captain is drinking coffee

A is when you are angry your
cheeks turn red like the blood
of a warrior who had a red
shiny shield the color of
lipstick.

J, U, L, I, and A is
when you see the flames of the
dragon and the black panther under
the blue sky on a ship and
the warrior holds up his
red shield to defend himself
from the panther and all those
together are the colors of letters
and the world.



 
HOW DRAGONS GOT THEIR FLAMES

Once upon a time
dragons had no flames
but one day a whole army
of dragons were attacking
people. They all charged
gulp and they all swallowed
a bomb and there was fire
in their body and their
bodies were so hot the
fire never went out
and whenever they blow
really hard there is a
flame.

IN THE PLANE

I am in a plane
If I could only meet Mark Twain
He is dead, but the grass is still green
If I could see Louis Braille
He is dead, but I cannot fly like a bird
If I could only run

You will see how fast I run
But I am in a boring plane
I don't see a single bird
And no book to read about Mark Twain
Or a journal to write poems about Louis Braille
And I can't write about the color green

My journal was green
I can not run
To see Louis Braille
But all I can do is sit on a plane
With not a single book by Mark Twain
I want to be a bird

Oh, there is one bird
And there is a guy with his hair dyed green
He is not like Mark Twain
That guy is about to run
All round the plane
Wait he isn't, I must be blind like Louis Braille

If only I saw Louis Braille
One thing bad about being a bird
Is when you crash into a plane
There's nothing green
I just need to run
And get exercise like Mark Twain

Plane is where I am and I can't see Mark Twain
Green the grass is and no Louis Braille
Bird is what I see, if only I could run

HOW MY DAD GOT HIS BEARD

My dad got his spiky beard
because he ran into a porcupine

stuck in his chin and now
whenver he shaves the
bristles grow back on his
chin

I AM A CROW

I am a crow, there is this person
who seems to talk to me. First he called me
lopsided, but then he called me bold heart.
I was so happy I did a flip in the air, OUCH!
I am missing my left claw, it hurts a lot.
A dragon bit it off, well, I think this boy
is a skald (bard). I follow him. He is on
a quest and doesn't want me to come. Humph,
I am very brave. Why do you think I'm called
bold heart? Well, this boy is here, yikes!
I shouldn't have come, there's a Jotun and
a troll right in front of me. Flap, flap flap!

Explanation: I have read a book called
"The Sea of Trolls." A skald is another way of saying
bard in Northmen language. A Jotun is a creature who
freezes people to death and are very deadly, and trolls
are just as dangerous. Jack is the name of the person
and the crow is a character who is Jack's companion on
his quest.

DOG! DOG!

Dog, dog how did you
get a nose that can smell
things so good? Is it because
a wizard cast a spell on you?

Dog, how did you get so
much hair? Is it because
you glued hair from people?

Anyway, why is your nose black
and not purple, green, blue, and
other different colors? Did you get splashed
by black paint? Why? Why?
Why can't you tell me anything?

WISHES

I wish I could have a
chocolate of peanut butter,
I can hear the crunches and
see the brown color like
when I am making dirt
and i use it as chocolate pudding!

I wish I could own
a bookstore of books,
hear the flipping pages
and see the people whispering
like at an assembly
when we are becoming quiet
and you can only hear whispering.

My wish is to have a chocolate of peanut
butter while owning a bookstore
of books and a room of games
while hearing crunches, flipping pages,
and weird sound effects from games
and seeing brown candy, whispering
and games (board games and so on)
is like me being as happy as possible!

KENNETH KOCH

Knack for poetry
Entertaining
Notable
Natural talent
Elated about poetry
Tremendous, terrific
Hard to match

Knowledgeable about rhythm
Ode is not what he writes that much
Communicates well with children
Hypnotizes kids with his imagination.


 
GEORGE W. BUSH

Ghastly
Empty head
Obtuse and offensive
Rude rogue
Grotesque
Eliminate him!

Weapons of mass destruction not found!

Belligerant
Unjust war
Shudder to think about him!
Harmful to the entire world!

This is an acrostic about how horrible Bush is for the world.


 
CHARLES CORNO

Cackles a lot
Humble
Agreeable in class
Reasonable in his expectations
Lively and likeable
Esoteric and essential
Smart as a squid

Cheerful and civilized
Outrageous, open-minded
Respectful and responsible
Noble
Original in teaching

This poem is an acrostic that spells out my teacher's name.


 
HOW DOGS GOT THEIR BARK

A long time ago dogs used to talk
but one day people were playing
with a broken radio that made
barking noises the dog thought that was
bark on a tree and the dog
lunged for the radio and swallowed
it and only barks came out
of its mouth and other dogs are
like that!

HOW TREE TRUNKS BECAME BROWN

There used to be
only one tree.
There was a storm.
It was so muddy the
water was brown
and the tree drank
it and it turned
brown because of
the muddy water.

HOW CATS GOT WHISKERS

Cats didn't have whiskers
a long time ago.
One day a cat was
watching girls playing a
game with a plastic string.
The cat thought it was
food and tried to take
the string but it got stuck
in its face and the cats
have whiskers now.


 
THE TIGER

I go to the zoo and
look at a tiger.
Kids are crowding around
the cage including me!
This tiger is great
the way the fur glistens
in the sunlight and
when it gets wet the
fur is smooth and when
the tiger shakes his body
it seems like sparks are
coming from his (or her) fur
Look at his eyes so
attentive of what is
going on and when he (or she)
sees his (her) prey he (or she) pounces
with the strong legs
in an appealing way that
makes your mouth hang
open so amazed you can
hardly move! You can see
stripes on the tiger in
a weird pattern. There are
such wonderful colors, when
they are combined together
they create this weird image.
When the tiger runs it seems
like a blur. One thing real
cool are their teeth, so shiny
and sharp they seem like glitter
there are so many you will
be amazed and look at your
teeth in the mirror and see
if your teeth are like the tiger's
teeth. When they jump you can
see their claws so sharp like
the teeth you will probably
never cut your nails to see
if they will get sharp.
The claws are not too big
and not too small and don't
have so much fur. When you
see a tiger it will be
the best time of your
life!


 
RIVERS

The Tigris River reminds me of a tiger who runs along the river

The Ganges River reminds me of Huckleberry sneaking out to
his gang and playing tricks at night

The Darling River reminds me of my Mom calling me darling
when I do something good

The Mackenzie River reminds me of macaroni and cheese,
my favorite food

The Missouri river reminds me of where I live.

THE WONDERFUL MUD PUDDLE

It has just stopped raining
I go outside. Yuck says
Mom. Cool I say. Don't you
see how wonderful this is.
You can see this cool brown
color, it's so shiny. When
you touch this you feel
this very smooth and gooey
sensation and it makes you
relax. There is one
question I want to ask.
Why doesn't anybody like
this wonderful mud puddle?


 
THE PAINTING IN OUR ROOM

Kandinsky's painting that I see is
like a big river
with swirls ready to suck
you in and it is also like
there is a bat ready
to catch a fish in a middle
of a hurricane and also
like a mouse running
with a knife right behind
it with pots and pans and
different objects that you
use in the kitchen.


 
BAD LUCK

I love playing my trumpet
and also soccer
but I am on crutches
I have allergies and my face is red
That's one thing that's not amazing
I take the elevator at school

people treat me different at school
I miss lessons for playing the trumpet
but taking the elevator at school is amazing
since I have crutches I can't play soccer
at least my crutches aren't red
my arm is very tired because of crutches

but there are many advantages about crutches
like taking the elevator at school
I get to write with a pen that is red
a friend can carry my trumpet
and there still isn't any soccer
it is kind of amazing

but it isn't amazing
especially my crutches
we lost the game in soccer
I'm always bored in school
no trumpet!
my injuries aren't so red

but my clothes are red
it isn't amazing
I still like trumpet
I might stop having crutches
I'm going to school
our team still lost soccer

I'm one of the best players in soccer
I own a soccer ball that is not red
there are problems in school
my bad luck is not amazing
I don't like crutches
and I miss playing trumpet

trumpet is great and so is soccer
I am on crutches that are not red
amazing luck at school

***

This poem is true!


 
SHORT POEMS


the very delicate tree
a hurricane is here
hear the rustling leaves

the cracker in my hand
I drop it
the crunchy sound

I AM SORRY TO SAY

I stole your diary and
looked at it

you were probably going
keep your secrets forever

Forgive me
your secrets so wonderful
I just could not stop reading

I wrote another flarf poem:


ONE HORRIBLE SHOP

Wake up! Mom says ready
to go to the soda can shop.
I hate places like the barbarian
sodas when everyone eats and
drink til their heads blow
off. Gosh that was so
bizarre! No wonder there
are people who have
no heads! Sodas made people's
tongues turn chocolate so
they can eat themselves.
Once my boyfriend ate
himself up until he
only had a mouth left!
Bizarre! Bizarre! Biiiizarrrre!
Mom almost got drunk just
by soda! People get drunk and
take a nap and don't wake up.
The bizarre place stinks
and gosh it smells like
a cat just farted and that is ten times
worse than its litter box!
This soda tastes like coffee
with NO sugar.
HELLO! Don't dare go
to the stupid shop. Great. My
head's exploded.


 
PENGUIN?

Penguin penguin how come
your feathers are so thick?
Is it because your parents
glued feathers to you from
different birds? Penguin how
do you get that beak is
it because you used to be
a snow man with a carrot
and you turned into a penguin
with the same beak? Oh penguin
please answer soon!

MY DREAM

I've had a bad dream
including a sky
and a jungle.
The jungle was green
I saw a scar
on a rabbit.

Oh that poor little rabbit.
I can't believe this was a dream
so real it was with a rabbit with a scar.
Something turned dark and it was the sky
and the grass was not green.
Oh this jungle.

I hate this jungle.
It was weird with a rabbit
and it turned green.
Oh I hate this dream.
Oh the sky.
There was lightning like a scar.

It was annoying th see a scar
even in the jungle.
I couldn't look at the sky
so I had to see the rabbit.
I wanted to stop having this dream.
My face was pale green.

The scar on the rabbit was green.
What is up with this scar?
I finished with my dream.
There was no more jungle
neither a rabbit
or even a sky.

I saw the sky.
It was not green.
I did see a rabbit
but it didn't have a scar.
I am very happy not to be in the jungle.
I never had a dream similar to this dream.

I do not like to dream about the jungle and sky.
I am happy I'm not in the jungle that is very green.
I am happy I don't see a scar, even on a rabbit.


 
SORRY!

Dear Friend: I'm so sorry I
jinxed your broom
while you were playing
quidditch

I was so mad at
you I didn't know you
would break two ribs and
a bone. I was just jealous
of you

I am at least good at
jinxing brooms because it
was my first time.
But I'll see you in
the hospital pretty soon.

Sincerely, Julia

This also goes with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, when Lord Voldemort jinxes Harry Potter on his broom while playing quidditch.





 
I am pretending I'm in a book called Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and it includes a port key and muggles are people who don't use magic in Harry Potter. I decided to write about the port key and how it works so you can see what it's like to be a wizard.

A PORT KEY

You may think this
is ugly, but do not
judge on what you see. You may not discover
about the port key. You
touch it and it goes
wherever you want to be.
It reminds you of a
shoe. It's shiny and black
but muggles always
throw it in the garbage
can. So the the port
key and you'll be amazed
of what you'll see.


 
QUESTIONS FOR A HIPPOPOTAMUS

What do you think about, hippotamus?

Of having a bigger river
with a whole lot of fish.

How do you scratch your back?

I let the fish and bugs
do it depending where my back is.

What is your favorite time of day or night?

Morning, well duh.

If you wrote poetry, what would it be about?

I will write about taking a nap.

Do you have a question for me?

Yes, I'm wondering what a
human being is. In my opinion
I think humans are things
that fly

This is collaboration me and my dad wrote. My dad wrote the questions and I wrote the answers.

HOW PLANTS BECAME GREEN

There were white flowers.
Men were so mad they would crush
them and seeds would come
out. When it started to sprout
the plant was green from the envy
of men.


 
HOW THE JAGUAR GOT ITS SPOTS

Jaguars once only had yellow
skin. One day a jaguar
fell in a puddle of mud.
There were black dots.
But it stayed there fovever
and all the jaguars were
the same.


 
HOW THE EAGLE GOT ITS WINGS

There were eagles who
only had bodies.
They were not birds, but
the eagles knew what to do.
With their eyes they spotted
feathers attached them to
their body and it's like that
forever.

Explanation: I started to get interested in this flarf business, so I decided I would write flarf too. This is my first poem of flarf.

A Surprise (flarf!)

Squirrel Fred puts on
his slippers for the
acrobatic never knowing
carnival. He makes
a banana for his
crazy baby baboon nana
a shrilly crilly absolutely
mystery of the nana
who thinks her breakfast
needs some coconut oil.
She needs chili but
Fred goes to the carnival
on his extra large bucket
of gas thinking he could
drive himself. First
comes a clammy crafty
clown with a chocolate
cookie including clammy
custard challenge
and charity koalas
coming toward me.
Next come the tamer
of tearing treacherous tarantulas
with a tutu and
with sauce from Tokyo.
He dance daring and
dramatic ballet from
Ethiopia. We tried
texmo terrrific tomato
juice for sale only
6,000 dollars each.
They found in the
trash can containing
tomato sauce it
was horrible so
they shot the sauce
so it landed on the
crazy baboon nana who was cranky.
She said for cranky
crabs' sake tomatoes are
for those tearing tutu
tarantulas. She threw
the tomato into the
blushing pig's pen ready
to prepare their dinner.
The pigs ate the sauce
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
The manager or messenger
heard it thinking it was
a nice son so he
sang Oh Yeah! (pig) Gulp
Gulp! (Manager). I got
the beat! (pig) Gulp! Gulp!
Gulp! I'm tight dudes! Gulp!
Oh yeah! boo ya! Gulp!
Gulp! Come see me, I got
the beat! Gulp! Creatures
did come. The ferocious
famous fabulous frantic family of
farting bears came. Crafty
comic coke crickets came.
Also the exciting experienced
explored escaping elephants
came. (Singing starts again)
Gulp! I'm tight man!
Gulp! Gulp! I've got the
beat to the music.
Oh yeah! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
The pigs stopped eating.
The manager said,
I sing good!
Oh yeah! yeah! yeah!
I I I I I I I got the beat!

A STORY OF A GOLDEN APPLE

I like gold
Gold might be in an apple
that wouldn't be too horrible
It would be amazing
like there is a ghost
It would make me smile

I like to smile
If there is gold
I don't need a Ghost
I just want a golden Apple
Would it be amazing?
That would not be horrible

I'll tell you a story that is horrible
I'll tell you a part that might make you smile
I think it is amazing
It is about gold
A real golden apple
Everyone wanted the apple,but thought it was a Ghost

It was not a Ghost
It was a Godess who did something horrible
There was a beauty contest and someone threw an apple
It made people smile
because the apple was made out of gold
It was weird and amazing

way to amazing
was that a Ghost?
a Ghost of gold
People had a lot of fights and it was horrible
That was a time when no one was smiling
I can't tell you the rest about this Golden apple

This story is from Greek Mythology about the apple
If you think this story is amazing
Check it out and you will smile
This story is not about a ghost
This story is a little horrible
With a lot of gold

I like gold even if it's in an apple
This story is horrible but still amazing
like there is a ghost that has a smile


 
I am still thinking about Dracula,the person.I had to sleep with garlic in my bed room.
I kept on falling of my bed.When I woke up I was of my bed.Fortunutely I was the same
person and not Dracula.


Saturday, March 13, 2004
 
This is a poem about a nightmare I had after I read a frightening and horrible book called Dracula. Dracula was actually a good book but it was horrible what it was about.

My Nightmare

I had a dream someone, someone really scary came and my face was pale and white as a sheet. The person behind me was Dracula! Two scars like a cross were on my neck. I kicked and ran. Julia, my mom said, stop kicking me. I woke up and saw my mom and said sorry. I fell back asleep and Dracula appeared in my mind. I wore garlic all around me. Dracula could turn into a black wolf and a bat. He crashed through the window and I lost my garlic. He drank my blood and went off. The three ladies with fang looking teeth and white all over. They argued who would get to suck my blood first. I kept on getting weaker and weaker. Jonathan tried to comfort me who was my dad. Just so you know there is a real Jonathan in Dracula who is a character. I ran and kicked. Julia, my mom said, stop kicking me. My mom was awake. I fell back asleep and dreamed more. I finally died with white fangs on me and I turned into a vampire. I was in a coffin in day. There were people around me. One person with a pointed stick ready to jab at my heart and they did. I was dead and the last Dracula to be killed. I was happy to be killed because I did not like to be a vampire.

A SESTINA

I am very happy
I am not pale and white
I'm just a dog
sitting by a tree
I think sitting by a tree is fun
I want to be rich with money

I love money
that's how I get happy
Oh, my life is so fun
I'm never pale and white
but once I was sitting by a tree
There was a horned-collar dog

It was a bloodhound dog
It had an enormous bone that costs a lot of money
I stood there paralyzed on the tree
For some reason the dog was happy
All I was was a dog with his white face
I knew that dog was having fun

I was not having fun
I was a poor little dog
just pale and white
not with any money
and not very happy
stuck to a tree

I was too frightened to move away from the tree
Would you call this fun?
Would this be the last dog not happy?
No way, I'm just a dog
I'm a failure without money
That was when I was pale and white

I hate being pale and white
So here I am near a tree
without money
This is the time when I have fun
I'm not a poor little dog
I am myself and no matter how I act I will be happy.

I am very happy and not pale and white
I am a dog who likes a tree
I like when life is fun with some money.

Dictionaries is what she uses
Options between dfferent forms of writing at writing
Never give up is what she says
Nice is how she acts
An apple is a healthy snack, that's what she always says

Kidding around sometimes happens
Never play tricks on her
Especially when it is time for school work
Intensive to her when she teaches
Bawling is not good for her so don't do it
Escape her by being good
Really believe me
Thieves never lurk near her class

In case you don't know, Donna Kneibert is my 3rd-grade teacher. And not all these things are exactly true about.

19 WAYS OF HEARING A PIANO PLAY

1. First you hear
Twinkle twinkle little
star that makes people calm down

2. All of a sudden the
piano plays Mary Had a
Little Lamb while kids dance around

3. Lullabies fill the room
with peace like a dove
fluttering over the air

4. Next a song called
Over the Rainbow is played
with kids listening with
wonder in their eyes

5. You can hear a Rock and
Roll beat filling the
room now and people sing with
the beat

6. When kids watch Sesame
Street they hear the back-ground
and that is a piano playing

7. People hear the Hokey Pokey
and they shake themselves into
the music

8. Country music begins
with playing notes together
making a beat while a band
plays with you

9. Then you hear the Boogie
on the piano all of the sudden
people dance wildly

10. I can hear Thelonious
Monk play Bemsha Swing
and that is the name of my dad's blog

11. You can hear me play Ding
Dong Bell that cheers you up

12. Someone is playing the
piano side to side lowest
to highest notes and that is
not good for the piano

13. Beethoven's song is what
I hear and it sounds like
Beethoven's Fifth

14. A love song is being played
so softy

15. Take me out to the Ball
Game is being played

16. The Christmas carol is playing
Jingle Bells that makes people
dance

17. I heard someone play
If She Comes Around the
Mountain and little kids cheering
and yelling

18. It's someone's birthday and
I hear someone play
Happy Birthday with
kids saying Cha! Cha! Cha!
between the music

19. Last of all is when
all the music is played together
to make a sad and happy or mad
song together



 
A VOLCANO DREAM

First in my dream I
was in Canary Islands with
my Aunt, Uncle, and Mattie and
Erica, who were my cousins.
We decided to explore the
volcano. The volcano was active.
We went in the volcano
and fell through trap doors and
finding rooms. There were scrolls
wrinkled that almost fell apart.
I was ten with a pocket
knife and carved tunnels. We
were trapped in the volcano.
Before my dream could be continued
I heard my mom yell Julia!
We need to go to the market!
I opened my eyes really disappointed.
I was in the best part
of my dream. Darn it.

I AM VERY SORRY

I am very sorry
that I broke your computer
The computer didn't break to
pieces, I just put a magnet
near the computer

which you were going to
use for your work.

I couldn't help it, I wanted
to play all these fun games.
You have to play them when
you get a new computer. Have
a fun time playing, I mean, working.

I AM A DOVE

I am a Dove that represents
the opposite of a raven. I stand
for peace, my skin is so white,
girls admire me. What's the big
fuss about how I look? I always
wonder about that question.
I fly up high, I always
worry someone will shoot me.
I have a lucky life. I am
harmless as can be, because I am
full of peace.

I WISH I HAD WINGS (Sestina)

I like color
color is never dangerous
if only I had wings
I could get through a maze
I could fly like an eagle
it seems so magical

This world seems magical
magic does not have color
colors are on an eagle
eagles aren't dangerous
I work too much it seems like a maze
if only I had wings

I love wings
they seem so magical
it would be easy to get through a maze
I am full of color
wings feel kind of dangerous
like a wing of an eagle

I don't have to have wings of an eagle
I could have different wings
they wouldn't be dangerous
just a little magical
with a lot of color
it still feels like I'm in a maze

I don't like to be in a maze
I might be an eagle
with a lot of color
but most of all I want wings
they seem so magical
it won't be too dangerous

If I was an eagle it would be more dangerous
I'm tired of this maze
I love being magical
I don't want to be an eagle
could I ever have wings
as long as there is color

I need color anyway it's not dangerous
if I had luck and had wings I could escape from a maze
I don't want to be an eagle how could I control myself it's magical.

A MAGICAL TIME

I want to be a wizard.
I'd have a wand and fill
the place with spells never
heard of. I will be in a
magical world with ghosts
flying chairs flowing rooms
glowing with light around me.
I'll face big spider and demons
make new friends will be
so great in the magical world.
This is the time to disappear
in the magical world. Oh what
do you think of it?

EVIL ARGUMENT

Yurch Yurch you are so
mean let us go. We are
trapped don't shoot arrows
at us because Legolas will
kill you. Who cares we will
shoot him before he shoots
his arrows. We will smash you
gnash you and roast you and toast
you. Now there is nothing to
do. You're wrong Gandalf is
here he will cast a spell on you. We will
put a fire and surround you
and pretty soon you'll be dead meat.
Frodo will kill you with his
sword sting and Aragorn with a
sword will attack with Frodo
and help us. There while we
argued we escaped with Gandalf's
help. Ha ha we escaped without
harm Yurch and you'll never catch us.

EXPLANATION: I got this idea about the poem from The Lord of the Rings. In case you don't know Yurch means Orc in the Elvish language. I am reading The Lord of the Rings and got very interested in it. My dad told me you could write something about you talking to a creature. All of a sudden I thought of The Lord of the Rings. I first thought of Gollum but then thought of Orcs.

E is black T is grey Y is yellow
p is red and L is orange

E and T is when it is a dark
black night when you are in the graveyard you
see grey gravestones when a black
dark volcano's there with grey ashes coming
out and dark ravens fly that remind you of
death

Y is when there is a sunny day
with yellow daisies and then it gets
darker when you see a cat's glowing
eyes

P and L is when you take a bite
from an apple and you throw the
core away a curious orange tiger wants
to see what it is the tiger was
bleeding I was peeling an orange
and I put my lipstick on

E, T, Y, and P is when it is a
night when there are stones and
when I see a raven it reminds
me of death but I see a cat's
yellow glowing eyes its gives
me a shiver I can still smell the red
apples and feel my bleeding knee
and last is L is when there
is a burst of orange sunlight
so I can see the world clearly

I AM A PENCIL

I am a pencil who has a very
poor life. I am used by
a writer who seems like he
writes a word every minute in his
life. I expected to grow taller
but he peels my skin to only make
my point sharper. He scribbles
dark words with me when he
presses me on the white thing.
I have a friend, pen. He is more
luckier than me. He has a
cap to protect himself. It is
time to get killed. He is coming
to write with me. I know it
I know it. Oh I wish I
was forgotten and never been
used.


 
I SEE BIRDS

With my powerful eyes
I can see things fly


They are birds who
fly day and night


Like a crow as black as
a witch's hat


There might be a cardinal
as red as the sunset


I hear a robin tweeting really
soft as a cricket's chirp


I see a blue jay that blends
in the sky in the early morning


I see eyes of an owl with
its mouth saying hoot hoot like
a ghost


Far beyond in the dark there
is a raven that represents death


A hen is making a cockle-doodle-doo
like someone crazy on the farm


In the night my eyes need to
rest before I can see
birds flying day and
night

OH, THAT HURTS

I like playing sports
I really like playing a sport
Now I am here, sitting on the porch

I might skin my knee
I might have skinned my knee
I skinned my knee as you can see

My scratch is so red
My scratch is really red
Oh, I must be put to bed

I'm so mad
I'm so mad
I hate this rash

I feel so poor
I feel too poor
Oh my gosh, my knee is so sore

WHAT I DREAM OF

I like dreams
that is really fun
dreams make me so cheerful
they even calm me down

that is very fun
I've dreamed about things
they even calm me down
I dreamed I could fly

I dreamed about things
and having an adventure
I dreamed I could fly
I dreamed I could fly in an adventure

and having an adventure
an adventure with cool harmless creatures
I dreamed I could fly in an adventure
that adventure would be so fun

and adventure with cool harmless creatures
creatures I see are cool
that would be so fun
can you imagine that!

creatures I see are cool
the creatures might have two heads with scales and tentacles
can you imagine that!
oh, I wish these dreams were real

The creatures might have two heads with scales and tentacles
I like dreams
oh, I wish these dreams were real
dreams make me so cheerful

or of ham and hotdogs. Thanks pig

I HAVE QUESTIONS TO ASK YOU GORILLA

How did your legs get so hairy?

It grew to keep us warm and to help
us climb trees.

What do you do all day long?

We crack nuts and take care of our kids
and climb trees all day long oh little
one.

Would you like to live in the zoo or
do you want to stay in the wild?

I want to stay in the wild because
freedom is better than living in a little
cage.

What is your favorite thing about being
a gorilla?

A gorilla is a gorilla.
I just like being a gorilla. Oh little
one let's go close the curtains and fall
asleep.

[My dad wrote the questions, I wrote the answers]


 
I am a Viper

I am a snake at the zoo
I got trapped in a cage and now I
am doomed. When I stare at those
living things I feel like I
could crush them to pieces but
this glass is hard to break through.
When people come to feed me I try
to grab at them but I'm too
slow. Oh my fat yellow skin
slows me down, but I might
have another chance to destroy
these people into pieces and
here it is. Hee Hee Ha Ha.

Big Eagle

In San Diego at the zoo there was a very big eagle that is a carnivore. It was as big as half of a door. It eats monkeys and birds. The eagle is very strong and can grab a creature on a tree with its talons. It was very impressive.
