  3. Eagle’s Egg

    I did not know during the ascent
    That she would not assent

    I needed aid
    My aide

    As I climbed the tree to the aerie
    It was quite airy

    As I climbed the tree, I spoke aloud
    “Your eggs, I shall take. Am I allowed?”

    Her claws said no
    This I certainly know

    As I was on the top, away
    I fell, not to the bottom, but aweigh

    I wanted to be on a beach
    Not a beech

  4. We were always so merry,
    They said we would marry.

    On our ascent,
    There was nothing but assent.

    With you I could soar,
    Now im just sore.

    Everything under the clouds we discussed,
    But now you just look at me with disgust.

    You have your band,
    I understand I’m banned.

    You made me bolder,
    More like a boulder.

    From me youll never hear another groan,
    Ive changed and grown.

  5. Ocean water oh so blue
    Swift wind how it blew

    Sea turtles are being born
    My feet walk along the bourn

    Trodden sand aisle
    My heart lives on this isle

    This place of beauty is the sea
    Sunset, shells, and sky are all I see

    The waves fall and rise for hours
    The ocean is a gift of ours

  6. One summer day, as the wind blew,
    I looked up at the sky, pretty and blue.

    Lying in the sun is my favorite thing to do.
    And I like to stare at the grass covered with dew.

    Then, as the wind blows through my hair,
    I see the most adorable little hare.

    Next, I look across the field bare,
    And in a far-away forest, I see a bear.

    I look to my right and see something dear,
    A joyful, little family of graceful deer.

    These stunning sights under the sun's rays,
    All make me happy, and my spirits raise.

  8. To Win Or To Lose?

    I need to play this game and win
    But I don't know when

    I want to be aweful
    But I'm really quite awful

    It's a good person I want to be
    But if I lose I'll sting you like a bee

    And if I lose, I'll surely faint
    But maybe just to win, I'll use a feint

    When I play, the winner will be faux
    As you will have become my instant foe

    The fun moments of this game are few
    And at the end of it, you'll be saying "phew!"

    When I'm victorious, I'll want a trophy that is gilt
    But underneath, I'll really be filled with guilt

    I really want to play this game and win
    But I just don't know when

  9. Sometimes

    Sometimes I feel as I might break,
    Sometimes I want to stop and press the brake

    Sometimes life is seen as a long course,
    Sometimes easy, sometimes coarse,

    Sometimes you must be a knight,
    Sometimes you must stay silent in the night,

    Sometimes my heart will tighten,
    Sometimes it is as big as a titan,

    Sometimes you are treated like a serf,
    Sometimes you are free like a surf,

    Life can have joy, life can be hard,

    Keep pushing

  10. The Weight of the Wait

    I know for a fact
    That people hate to wait.
    Impatience is such
    A prominent trait.

    Upon each of our futures
    We place so much weight.
    We each want to know
    If we will be grea.t

    People cannot be patient,
    They cannot wait.
    Each of us wants to know,
    What will be our fate.

    But life is changing
    At a rapid rate.
    So believe me when I say
    Not long will you wait.

  11. A Mother’s Pain

    I still loved you come morning
    Still in my heart I was mourning

    I wish it was you I could see
    Wish my pain was not as vast as the sea

    With every fiber of my being, in every tear, God I pray you were here
    Every condolence, every voice, is lost, it’s only your voice I want to hear

    It’s as if you were wrenched away from my grasp by the wind as it blew
    As if you had let go and fell upward into the sky colored blue

    High up, suspended, a dot of brilliance in the sky, the sun
    Up high, a fiery ball as bright and beautiful as you, my son

    You can’t be gone, no, I know up there, somewhere, your spirit must soar
    Can’t be gone, I say over and over and over, but still my chest is sore

    I ask, for God’s sake, why?

  12. Flee Flea!

    You jump on a fir
    To get closer to my dog’s fur

    You give me the flu
    I wish away you flew

    I don’t know what to wear
    Or what time to go or where

    To stop you from getting in my vein
    Or maybe this will all end in vain

    If only I stop you by saying no
    But the next time you come, I’ll never know

  13. What Affects the Effect?
    Arman Sobhi

    There are countless ads on television
    Intended to add to the store’s popularity
    That is what affects the effect

    If one is hit in the head with a ball
    The pain is likely to cause them to bawl
    That is what affects the effect

    Last week I was at a park and there was a band
    They caused so much commotion, they were banned
    That was what affected the effect

    Consuming food with too much dye
    May be a cause for one to die
    That is what affects the effect

    If one has a gas tank with a hole
    They will lose all their gas as a whole
    That is what affects the effect

  14. The King Who Ate Too Much (Ate vs. Eight)

    In a kingdom far, far away,
    The king’s food was never astray
    He indulged himself in every meal
    His growing body he could feel

    He ate eight roasts and eight pies
    Eight fruits and eight thighs
    He washed it all down with cups of tea
    And too the bathroom he had to flee

    Each day he got fatter
    And wondered, “What was the matter?”
    He glanced in the mirror and lost his pride
    And later that night he died

  15. The Fullest Climb

    Life is a climb,
    A long, treacherous climb.

    But without my own assent,
    I wouldn’t be able to ascent.

    For the climb has its ups and downs
    Its cliffs and its sturdy ground.

    Without being willing, I won’t go anywhere.
    I wouldn’t get hurt, and I wouldn’t lose a tear.

    But that wouldn’t be living life to its fullest,
    For it’s through the trenches that life becomes the clearest.

    That summit is always calling,
    While below I can hear the wind blowing.

    Life in the safe zone keeps you from harm,
    But it doesn’t give you life’s wit and charm.

    Life to the fullest is when you tackle that climb,
    So that you can reach the summit in time.

    Life is a climb, a treacherous climb.
    But if I, myself, give the right sign,

    I will be able to make it to the top,
    For the summit is a glorious spot.

    The spot I want to be at during the end.
    So that I leave everything behind with nothing to mend.

  17. Pencil gliding across the page
    Words can not be held by a cage.
    Sharing stories with all
    In the summer, spring, winter and fall.
    An action common in school
    But not done over the summer, or at the pool.

    Tyrrants take them away
    For they will not let you play.
    Americans have a lot
    Chinese do not.
    Many come to our land
    To where no one is banned.

    Rights can be written
    Keep you warm like a mitten.
    The constitution will protect our rights
    For all days and all nights.

  18. Playing Baseball
    By: Michael Carlson

    Ball on the inside, my bat breaks
    I can't afford to hit the brakes

    On first base is where I want to be
    Oh my gosh is that a bee

    Too bad the pitcher isn't a seer
    Because when I steal I will sear

    The ground beneath me
    But not as pretty as the sound of mi

    It doesn't take a group of Crays
    As the answer is in the craze

    Of the fans in the stands and as they will allude
    That I did elude

    The tag of the man on second base
    I pound the bag and it releases a bass

    You know that the only way to stop my flow
    Would be to set me adrift on an ice floe

    I walk of the bag with a casual gait
    The only way to stop me would be to build a gate

    I look through the pitcher's guise
    And realize that no number of guys

    Will stop me from taking another place
    But with more elegance than a wild plaice

    Although I may not be number one
    In the battle with the pitcher I have won

  21. Last breath of air

    So it’s today she will take her last breath of air,
    All because of that one futile err.

    As she grew she became bolder,
    But it is so that crushed her like a boulder.

    With away she took his last breath of air,
    Never shall the picture be erased, e’re.

    She could have been the alfa-dog heir,
    But instead today she’ll be gone for e’er.

    She runs and jumps through the air,
    Completely unknowing of the consequence of her great err.

    Though for a dog she is quite a belle,
    here comes the ringing of her final bell.

    With her gone today ere,
    The tears will spill for our little heir.

    Today she will be gone fore’re,
    And at 5:30 take her last breath of air.

    No longer can her growls and barks ring through the air,
    All from that killing err.

    We all knew it would happen ere,
    Though we thought it would be long without this fatal err.

    Though her strength makes me aweful,
    What will happen to her because of it is awful.

    So it’s today she will take her last breath of air,
    All because of that one futile err.

  22. The Knight in the Night

    In a land far far away
    There was a town that went astray

    Two knights fought over a girl
    One of their names was Murl

    Not just any girl, the king’s daughter
    In order to marry her, they were required to slaughter

    When the clock struck midnight
    The two males were forced to fight

    The weaker man would die
    The stronger one would tell him good-bye

    The two men met each other in the wood
    Between them the referee stood

    Out of nowhere a knight appeared
    For everyone’s safety the princess feared

    The knight killed both men
    His form was a perfect ten

    The one in armor was the one to take the princess’ heart
    At that moment their romance was to start

    His life was at its height
    The princess married the knight who came in the night

  23. Seeing Land and Sea:

    I watch with awe at the family of hares
    Which appear so soft with their bodies of hair

    I desperately want to live with them under the sun
    Nature is such a beautiful being, my son

    I used to always go camping with my father
    Into the woods we’d go farther and farther.

    But today we live run by electronics and cords
    It seems humans now live by a different accord.

    Sometimes it is good to just take a break
    When life gets too busy, just put on the brake

    Take a look at nature: grass, plants, and berry
    I’d say that technology is something we must bury

    Son, let us live our lives free, break out of this cell
    You and I will live life with enough love to sell

    All I ask of you, my son, is to stop sometimes and see
    That life is more than electronics. There's beauty in land and sea.

  24. Grays and graze

    Horses grazing in an empty field,
    Enjoying their timeless days
    Amidst the gray cloud shield

    The air warning of a storm,
    The omiunous lighting
    Nothing out of the norm

    The open fields and missing fences
    The thriving lazy horses
    And their sensitive senses

  25. I tried to breathe in air
    When I found out I was heir

    I stood there awed
    And found it quite odd

    That I went from a bettor
    To a better

    Last week I was an out cast
    Now I am on the top of the social caste

    I used to be my only counsel
    But now I am advised by an entire council

    It has been days
    And yet I'm still in a daze

    I found out I was heir
    And couldn't breathe in any air

  26. Sometimes when you need to be Bolder
    You feel like you are stuck behind a boulder

    You New Year’s resolution could be to be bolder.
    Then you would need to be more courageous.

    But if you were hiking there is a chance you would see a boulder.
    Then you climb up and strike a pose.

    When you climb up the boulder,
    Some people will say you are bolder.

    So really do you want to be bolder?
    Or see a boulder?

  28. Heir of the Air

    My single egg
    Flecked with blue and gray
    Contains our sky's future
    He will emerge any day

    He is king of the clouds
    My heir of the air
    He will fly over all
    A delightful affair

    The winds will guide him
    In the right direction
    While I watch from above
    As he becomes perfection

    I am proud of my only son
    And the sky he adorns
    The air is the kingdom
    To which the heir will be born

  29. We watched his ceiling
    Be covered in earth
    His fate it was sealing

    The straining cord
    Struck a chord
    And the wood it gave a creak
    They cried a little creek

    We gave him one last altar
    To mourn the past we couldn’t alter

    Our hearts blue it dyed
    For the man we loved had died

  30. The flower needs the bee
    just like I need to be

    Flexible and not let myself be bowled
    over by the wind. Be bold.

    Stand strong like a boulder.
    Be bolder.

    In this world there is no ceiling,
    No reason for any sealing.

    The birds sound choral,
    and the sky is colored coral.

    My life doesn’t need a foreword,
    because it’s always moving forward.

    Past the fields of hays,
    there is a lifting haze.

    I tell myself ‘Be bold’,
    because you can’t be bowled.

  31. Together As One
    By: Blake D.

    We look off into the open sea,
    To only think of what we can see.
    We believe once more of what we knew,
    But then we discover something new.

    For we sit together alone as one,
    And we discover something we have finally won,
    The love we had that just left us by,
    And it was one of the things we couldn't buy.

    Looking on and by we were always of two,
    But forever more we will be one, too.

    We will never forget living as two or four,
    But to think of each other as to be for.

    So forever more we will look upon the sea,
    Together as one and together through what we see.

  32. There is a manner people need to take
    But not in a Lord’s manor

    In the manor there was a prince
    And he had lots of prints

    He sic them upon the table
    But it made him sick

    As he went up the stairs
    Everyone stared

    He threw a wave goodbye
    He then went through the hall

    Their eyed were filled with tears
    As he went over there

    They earned for him to return
    Some of the maids used an urn

    What they urned was whit
    Some tried to lighted the mood with their wit

    Some began to soar
    But it made them quite sore

    So they began to mewl
    So they had to ride the mule

    Others began the mock
    And the mach began to hurt

  33. I spend my days in a daze,
    Dreaming of knights,
    To fill my nights.

    I spend my days in a daze,
    Waiting to leap from behind my boulder,
    And show that I, too, can be bolder.

    I spend my days in a daze,
    Hoping to be number one,
    Hoping to show everyone I have won.

    I spend my days in a daze,
    Wondering why I try to soar
    When if I fall, I will be so sore.

  34. I really enjoy going on vacations
    and try to find out whats similar about to places, their relations

    If the place has a beach I play with a sand pail
    and end up on a boat feeling nausious and pale

    After a long vacation that we have done a lot I moan and groan
    on the flight back I realize how much my hair has grown

    After coming back from Florida I really knew
    that Disney Worlds rides weren't really that new

    When going parasailing I really flew
    but when I touched the ground I felt like I was catching the flu

    Where ever I go I have always sent
    a penny to my cousin which costs more then a cent

    In California I heard every body wail
    when they saw Shamoo the humongous whale

    Every hotel has a beautiful sight
    of the things that make up a different site

  35. Leaving somebody at the altar,
    Is just something you cannot alter.

    Looking much like a beluga whale,
    The bride soon began to unstoppingly wail.

    Nowhere to be found was the groom,
    who desperately needed a groom.

    He'll take to the sea,
    Where is bride cant see.

    Far and away he will soar,
    Away from the bride that was too much of a sore.

  36. Homonym Poem: Pear & Pair
    Colleen Richards

    There once were two little children
    And what a fine pair they were
    Thy ran through the forest looking for trees
    From which they could pluck
    A juicy ripe pear

    And as they grew up
    They continued their play
    Even as they grew old and gray
    Thy still walked through the forest each day
    As a pair, husband and wife
    An when they went on their walks
    They always looked
    For juicy ripe pear to eat

  37. The money I earn
    Is stored in an urn
    It’s for green that I yearn

    So that money I can burn,
    Comes pouring into my urn,
    And then more I can earn.

  38. A wonderful experience
    Either real or fake
    Whether you fly with dust
    Or take a boat across a lake

    The journey is what counts
    Not the destination
    No matter where life takes you
    Be surrounded by imagination

    On a ferry ride
    An adventure starts to brew
    The bumpy waves make the magic start
    And then pirates and fairies show up too.

    Captain Hook is a menace
    But Peter and Tink will save the day
    With a little help from fairy dust
    The evil pirate they will slay

    There is an air of mystery
    On that river boat
    Children play and frolic with the fairies
    While they are afloat

    A fairy and a ferry both alike
    Can make the day for a tyke

  39. Ants and Aunt

    Look at you little creatures,
    Crawling on the ground.
    I wonder what you’re thinking,
    As you scurry all around.

    You insects that surround me
    Are crawling on my pants,
    You are the very best climbers
    And you’re commonly known as ants.

    every ant is made of three pieces
    Though they all are so diverse,
    I like to watch and see you,
    When you don’t climb in my purse.

    Would you tell me of your family?
    Or do you live a lonely life,
    I wonder if two would marry
    And become husband and wife.

    In my world, all big and tall,
    I have a family.
    With father, mother and siblings too
    My house is filled to capacity.

    I think of them and sigh,
    When I picture what they’d do
    If they caught me sitting in the dirt
    Staring down at you.

    My mother would get frustrated,
    My father would be fried,
    My cousin would come join me,
    But her mother would go hide.

    A cousin’s mother as we all know,
    Has a different name.
    Her husband I call “uncle”,
    And aunt’s her right to fame.

    Oh auntie dear, you do not see,
    All these ants can do.
    My aunt you see is terrified,
    Of critters, much like you.

    She will never touch a spider,
    She would run away from bees,
    A butterfly is graceful,
    When she does not see.

    If Aunt would ever hold a caterpillar,
    That would be a first,
    But of all the things she’s scared of,
    Ants are the very worst.

  40. To see the sea.

    Crashing waves among the beach
    A feeling so good you have to reach

    Among the blue water and sky
    The seagulls and salty air fly

    The children play in the sand
    A day at the beach is never bland

    To see the sea may be an enemy
    To those of us who don't enjoy the salty breeze.

    Just above the sunrise
    There you'll see your precious prize

    A picture perfect for your friends
    Don't you wish this vacation would never end.

    So stay in this moment and see the sea
    For its beauty will be your only enemy.

  41. Homonyms (Fair Fair)

    Throw the baseball,
    Swing the mallet,
    Try to win the prize.

    The problem is,
    The games aren’t fair,
    In the players’ eyes.

    The county fair
    Has come to town
    The kids all scream and shout.

    They flood the games
    Ready to play
    Without a shred of doubt.

    All they ever really want
    Is to win
    The big stuffed monkey.

    Until they realize
    At the basketball toss
    The balls are all shaped funky.

    The prizes look
    Like they can be achieved
    If you only use much care.

    But I have come
    To understand
    That county fairs aren’t fair.

    They say that every day is a new day,

    The stress of life is ever-bearing,
    Spend every moment worried and caring.

    The morning sun does bring light,
    But only to wait for dusk to bring the night.

    Just because the date has changed,
    Doesn't mean your life will be arranged.

    Never does the sun bring anything new,
    Except more stress to come and brew.

    So when you go to sleep tonight,
    Do not expect everything tomorrow to be alright.

    Everyone seems to have faith in the morning,
    When really we should spend it mourning.

  43. The Traveler

    I traveled down a winding road
    On a motorcycle I rode

    I rode on through the endless night
    On my noble steed, I was a knight

    I looked up when I heard a creek,
    T’was a tree that ran me into a creek

    In the early morning I would wake
    To find myself in a creek’s wake

    The light shone brightly through the wood
    Would I come back? Yes, I would

    The lure of the water just wasn’t fair,
    It felt as if I should be paying a fare

    My surroundings looked like a movie scene
    A movie that everyone should have seen

    The gentle water supported my back
    And I felt I should never go back

    Would I ever leave, I don’t know,
    But for right now, the answer is no

    I traveled down a winding road,
    On a blissful creek I rode

  44. Coarse and Course

    The road was filled with sand and rocks
    With each step tore holes through my socks

    Back down the road
    With cars that flowed

    They shook and slid
    As tires spin and skid

    It was the only way for here to there
    Was the mountain pass so bare

    From the little town
    To the sprawling city with air quite brown

    The trees were down below
    And none were above where they cannot grow

    The flowing river at the bottom
    Was very high in early autumn

    The torrent of river water
    Was quite a sight for any spotter

    The river brought sand and stone
    That shook every bone

    On that road so very coarse
    Was the town to city course

  45. Have you ever seen the sea?
    It's as amazing as can be!

    For someone who lives under a mountains shadow like I
    Does not often get to see
    Something so fantastic by and by
    Something like the sea

    The white cap waves and the blue waters
    The brownish sand
    the children with mothers and fathers
    Like a natural band

    The fish, crabs, are food for me
    The seagulls, music from the sky
    I wish I could see the sea
    And keep it in my mind I will try

    I love my mountains and love my lakes
    But sometimes it gets too cod
    It will not nor ever be a mistake
    If on the mountain, I grow old

    But the sea I love, at least the beach
    the waves rolling on shore
    To someone, a lot the sea can teach
    so that for a while, they don't care anymore

    Have you ever seen the sea?
    It's as amazing as can be!

  46. Paige's Final Poem

    Horses out in a field
    under the cloud shield

    enjoying their grass
    thunder like section brass

    the colors mix into two
    today no skies of blue

    just gray and green,
    no other colors seen

    they don't mind the rain
    the cold doesn't bring pain

    such a beautiful place
    life is not a race

    just enjoy every second
    make sure every moment you reckon

  47. Effect and Affect

    The effect of this incident
    Caused an affect on the passengers

    While driving down the icy road
    She lost control of the heavy load

    The truck swerved to the left
    And before she could react it turned with great heft

    We screamed as it crashed
    And realized the front headlight was smashed

    The brick wall stayed intact
    But the fear still causes react

    The truck was accelearting quickly
    She wasn't speeding but the ice made it tricky

    I covered my eyes
    And screamed with suprise

    All I could see was white
    Before I opened my eyes with great fright

    The truck will survive
    But we will live all our lives

    With the emotions
    That came with the trucks motion

    This effects of the crash
    Though I hate to rehash

    Will continue to affect
    My sister and I

  48. Who is bolder than the boulder?

    The mountain climber
    No poetic rhymer

    The countless trudge
    In the muddy sludge

    Along the slope
    Pinning his rope

    He comes to a boulder
    But in his heart he is bolder

    And continues his climb
    His steps in a rhyme

    Treading on
    Out of the dawn

  50. Boulder and Bolder

    A boulder is a giant rock
    that water, ice, and wind
    Have not caused it to lose its strength
    because it is "thick-skinned"

    Now why can I not be like that?
    Why can I not be bolder?
    Why do harsh things that people say
    stay inside me and smolder?

    I want those words to bounce right off
    just like boulders remit
    I am going to start right now,
    to this I will commit.

  51. Harry had a view from an aerie
    On that night so airy.
    Ron poked at an ant
    As he remembered his aunt.
    Hermione suggested the ascent
    Ron and Harry decided to assent.
    For Dobby Harry did bury
    Whilst Hermione picked a berry.
    Hermione made dough
    While Harry and Ron saw a doe.

    If only she could’ve seen George losing his auricle.

  52. listen to her pleas
    shes saying help me please

    the heavy thoughts they weigh
    her down shes looking for a better way

    even though the thoughts are not aloud
    to care and help would be allowed

    her eyes are aweful
    though her past has been awful

    she will speak and you will hear
    because at this moment she is here

    listen to her pleas
    shes saying help me please

  53. A princess waiting for her knight
    Stares out at the starry night

    She wonders if he’s short or tall
    As she sees a lone star fall

    She hopes that maybe he’ll be cute
    Then she hears an owl hoot

    Will he take her from this tower
    She sighs and sees a meteor shower

    But what if her knight never shows
    A single tear rolls down her nose

    The only thing in which she can rely
    Is the coming of the night sky

  54. Sundays and Sundaes

    I make two simple phrases
    And people automatically go into dazes

    The first I said was, "I love to eat tasty Sundaes."
    They imagine me eating a bunch of Sundays

    That I have a crave to eat calendar dates
    And cook those days to serve onto plates

    It is a rather odd picture that someone might see
    All I said was, "I love to eat tasty Sundaes." It is plain to see

    The second phrase I had in mind was, "I sit around on Sundays."
    Though the picture formed was me sitting upon Sundaes

    That I lounge all day on top of ice-cream
    Eating when I want, and sliding off the mound as if it was a dream

    Now why would someone think that, that I bought enough ice-cream to sit on?
    It is very peculiar to imagine, me surrounded by pecans

    I love to eat Sundaes and I sit around on Sundays
    I could have made it easier and said I sit around on Mondays

  56. A Whole Hole

    As I was sitting one day,
    I found myself in front of a construction site.
    The man digging a hole was young and gay,
    After that, I never thought of that hole the same.

    I began to see,
    A digging a hole is like life.
    It’s peculiar really,
    But the more you work, the deeper in you get.

    After so many pondered life as a whole,
    I came up with the answer.
    Who knew something as simple as digging a hole,
    Would be the meaning of life?

  57. The odd man that everyone awed at

    So, there is this one odd man
    Let’s be honest, I don’t think he has even one fan

    He is awed at all the time
    He thinks because he is sublime

    In reality the truth is that
    Everyone thinks he is really a brat

    He is very strange
    And kind of deranged

    He drinks tons of beer
    And always says, “Hip hip, let’s cheer!”

    The person follows by saying
    “Oh lord Please hear me praying

    There is a man here
    Who has had a little too much beer

    He is gross
    And possibly may have over dosed

    Oh lord, I just awed
    Because he fell and dislocated his jaw

    Help me please
    He is now starting to seize.

    Now I feel bad
    And a little bit sad

    I awed at a very odd man
    When in fact his heart has just been broken by a women named Anne

  58. Fishing

    Nothing becoming of aural
    Everyone’s mouths non oral

    My father taught me a bate
    Sitting in the water is my bait

    I walk into the lake a little bolder
    And hit my foot on a boulder

    Outside with the fresh scent
    I am in no need of cent

    Catching a fish is coarse
    I need to change my course

    The water has many dyes
    With no fish my hope dies

    Then all of a sudden I catch one
    After this long day’s wait I guess I won

    Waiting here at this place
    I actually caught a plaice

  59. Sons are like the Sun

    Bright and burning it will hurt your eyes
    Stay out in the sun to long you may get burned
    But it dies away tears, and dulls peoples cries

    A son is a boy that will one day be a man
    Their futures they build off hopeful plans
    To Parents he can bring Joy and sorrow

    The sun can help grow and destroy
    It has power, radiance, and might
    But to a mother, a son can be described the same way

    A son is like the sun,
    he has the power to create or destroy
    But instead of life and energy
    It the decisions of good and bad

  60. Once a tall, dark knight
    Rode into the night,
    Promising he would
    Be back.
    He killed dragons,
    And giants,
    And ogres galore,
    To keep his kingdom
    Safe.
    And then that dark knight
    Rode out towards the light,
    Hoping his princess would
    Be there.

  61. Lie Next to a Lie~~
    I could trace his name a thousand times
    up in the auburn sky-
    It doesn't change the fact that I
    lied down next to a lie.

    I thought that what he said to me
    as we lied under the stars
    was the truth, I didn't see
    the lie behind his words.

    "I love you", whispered in my ear,
    "I'll never let you go".
    A carefully crafted web of lies
    That I was trapped below.

    Still I followed him around,
    begging with puppy dog eyes.
    And when he finally gave in to me,
    I lied next to a lie.

  62. Ice Skater
    As she walked down the aisle
    She acted as if she was on her own isle

    The ice was a clear blue
    And as she skated past the wind blew

    Matching the ice was her clothes
    A triple lutz she was about to close

    But dusted over this section of ice was flour
    This made a mess of the performance of this beautiful flower

    Our poor skater took a great fall
    Her injury won’t allow her to skate again till Fall

    In her heart was much pain
    The only thing she could do is stare out the window pane

    She can’t wait to get back
    But first she must get surgery on her back

    We all ask who could have done this
    And who could hurt ice skaters like these

    It seems that this only happens to those at a career peak
    Someone must have peeked

    We all hope she comes to the rink again
    A new page she must begin

  63. Aloud, Allowed

    All through my life, I have been told
    Maintain your true self, be strong, be bold.

    Even though this mantra has been repeated
    Relentless teasing has my stamina depleted.

    In school I was taught to try to fit in
    Conform to the crowd, to be different is to sin.

    And my true self, she never speaks.
    Forced silent by society.

    Unless one wants to be cast aside
    Certain rules exist by which we must abide.

    Keep in line, adhere to the norms.
    You must always obey, you must always conform.

    Everyone will be judging each thing that you do.
    Anything that you say will be held against you.

    However, deep inside me still stirs
    A restlessness I cannot curb.

    Something within me wishes to scream
    Against the current, against the scheme.

    I dream of a day when I will be allowed
    To truly speak my mind aloud.

  64. From all this stress I really need a break
    And I’m afraid my back just may brake

    My teachers want me to put school on altar
    But they should understand my personality would never alter

    It is as if at me they continually bait
    I just wish the endless yelling would bate

    I had a teacher whose head was bald
    He thought me everything, when I lost him I bawled

    My life to me by my teachers was bode
    But it seems it’s coming true my life has bowed

    It’s like every day I get hit by a boulder
    But for my old teacher I will get bolder

    For I have a cache
    Out of wish I will cash

    I will canter
    Towards my dream of being a cantor

    The old ways of witch I act will throw away and that package be sealing
    From now on the only place I shoot for is the Ceiling

    I don’t care if anyone gives a cent
    From away has that package been sent

    When my package does land I will hit with a crater
    For my problems and troubles are locked away in that krater
