I Am

I am creative and shy
I wonder about where the universe ends
I hear the words coming off a page
I see Camp Half-Blood
I want to be an author
I am creative and shy

I pretend I can fly
I feel and authors thoughts
I touch a single snowflake
I worry about being unkind
I cry over the death of panda cubs
I am creative and shy

I understand cause and effect
I say you can do anything
I dream of writing a novel
I try to do my best
I hope for peace
I am creative and shy

Orange

Red and yellow (it's got a history ya' know)
It's the color of Autumn;
of Halloween;
of the town in which I grew.
It is camoflodge for tigers;
of of the many colors of daisys.
This is the color of many things:
Orange

The Sun

The sun warms with it's loving rays
It let's flowers bloom
trees, fruit
every plant that grows.
It helps humans too,
warming our blood.
Too bad we can't be out too long in the sun
with our putting on more
annoying sunscreen.

Bus Reading

Bump, bumpity, bump
... must... read...
bump bump
... carsickness...
Bump
I hate the bus.

Terrific writing assignments
Especially cool weather

Beautiful red, orange and golden
Eating chocolate
READING!

The Kick

It's a light shade of brown,
rectangluar; about 10x4.
Hard.
Solid.
Yet after three good aims
I take a deep breath
remind myself not to shut my eyes...
I kick
Before I relized what happened
my instuctor hands me the thing I just broke in half with my foot
We bow
I did it
I did a reverse side kick and
broke a board
I passed.
This being the fourth time (technically fifth) doing it
you'd think it wouldn't be
a big deal,
But it is
I did it.

Author/ Softball player

I love writing
Poems (obviously) and stories too,
Art is so much fun.
I love reading
I'd do it all day.
I read and write from Sunday-Friday
My mom says I'll grow up to be an author
I said, "NO! I'm going to be a softball player!"
Did I forget to say?
I play every Saturday!

11+7

I got a new cell phone
If only I didn't have to pay
'Cause then I could have called my mom,
on that school day.
I had to call her for something important
I got out of the classroom just to do that
11+7
What is the answer? 
What is the answer!
The teacher called on me that day
And I ran out of fingers
If only I didn't have to pay.

 

Nances

I looked down at my bowl of yellow
It was about half full of little yellow balls
Yellow balls about the size of a blueberry
Soft and squishy
a little black seed inside each one
You eat the outside
then spit out the seeds
or eat them whole.
They're called nances
