Tears and Reasons
anger
pain
frustration
Disappointment
sorrow
These create tears
forgetting
falling
ignoring

dead
these are reasons
Anger
fiery in your eyes
fiery in your heart
mad at every one
mad at no one
every thing is red
your head is pounding
your furious
your angry
Iambic-Rain
Drip drop
there's the tree standing tall
plip plop
watching the rain fall
clip clop
the horse goes on his way
plip plop
watching the rain that goes all day
Trochaic-Car
Fast and sleek
slow and dirty
these are the qualities of a car
going slow or fast
fast or slow
you are bound to have fun
going all around
under tunnels and over briges
you are going in a car
Anapestic-football
Have you seen football
if not go down the hall
take a left then right
isn't that just a sight
the stadium is fulled
and the sll the pop is chilled
hear the fans roar
hear them when the bears score
watch them run
isn't football really fun
Didactic-birthday
Today is my birthday
I am going to get my way
with presents galore
the house is in an aproar
I am going to get my way
going form house to house
I am getting what I want
an I-pod a cell phone
(Huh apperently didn't finish this one)
Spondiac-Summer
In the summer having fun
running running in the sun
jumping jumping in the pool
trying to keep cool
having fun all day long
singing a funny song
In the summer with long days
going going on our ways
searching searching for some shade
with a blanket tattered and frayed
In the summer having fun
running running in the sun
Concrete-Whirlpool
(it is supposed to be shaped like a whirlpool)
Whirl pool whirl pool going around and around
whirl pool going down
sucking taking every thing insight
whirl pool going down
Limerick
There once was a girl named Dawn
her hair was as brown as a fawn
she ran all around
jumping up and down
now she's laying on the lawn
There was once a boy named Bill
who had a bucket to fill
he look up and down
and all over town
and finally came to a hill
Simile-Animal
Lion standing brave and tall
with mane like fiery flame
with roar as loud as thunder
and tooth as piercing as rain
waiting for his game
with claws unsheathed
and teeth shown to all
Lion standing brave and tall
with mane like fiery flame
pounces on his unsuspecting prey
eating before the scavangers came
running in the dusty wind
never to be tamed
forever to be free
and never comes when called
metaphor-love
Love is my feelings for you
if you're the sun I'm the sky
if you're the moon I'm the stars
forever
Love is the sparkle in your eye
Onomatopoeia-Shoes
Clip clap
goes a flip flop
tip tap
goes a tap shoe
all the shoes make a different sound
Stomp stomp
thump thump
goes the boots
Alliteration- boys/girls
Betty bakes brownies
Benny bounces a ball
both bake
both bounce
Betty believes Benny
Benny lies to Betty
Betty belongs behind bars
Because Benny is gone
Ballad- Knights, princess, etc
Knight with shining armor
galloping down the streets
ready to face danger
and any thing he meets
Far away a princess lays
waiting for her knight
to take her to a castle
hidden in the moonlight
under starry skies
the knight is galloping on
following the hidden path
to the tower found at dawn
closer now a princess waits
looking toward the sea
hoping the knight in shining armor
will find the missing key
Shinning in the morning sun
the tower apoun the hill
the knight is approaching
with the morning chill
In the tower the princess sees
the knight coming up the path
without the missing key
he must face the dragons wrath
the knight in shinning armor
is coming on his way
ready to face teh dragon
and slay it where it lays
the princess watching over him
know the dragon lies in wait
is unable to do anything
except to believe in fate
the knight he sees the dragon
laying in the afternoon sun
readies his sword
and soon the dragon is done
the princess apoun seeing this
let in the knight
so he can take her away
to the castle in the moon light
(I don't have 13-18 yet I'll post them when I am done)
Haiku
In the starry night
the wind whispers its secrets
making all fearful
in the pale moonlight
the flowing water splashes
the fish jumping high
(and here is number 23 the worst of them all so far)

WHAT DO YOU SEE
look around
what do you see
I see magic every where
in the trees
in the grass
in you
and in me
look around
Do you see magic
in the cars or the street
No
only in nature
only in rocks
only in dirt
look around
What should we do
We should
help the magic
We should
play with it
have fun with it
Then let it go
Look around
What now
Now we have to go
go back to the real world
back to where the magic isn't noticed
Isn't appreciated
We go back to where
we have to protect the magic
in every possible way
back to the real world
look around
What do you see
I see no magic

What should I do
When I feel so blue
When you know me
Why stand there and watch me fall
What should I do
When I want to strangle you
You hate me
I hate me too
you pretend don't care
but I saw it today
You love me
I love you
I want you to know that
When I blue
You never make me feel better
when I'm blue
you should know it's because of you
you my brother should always be there for me
and I should always be there for you
When we are old
we'll look back
And see the good times
and the bad
I love you and you me
even if I don't show it
I love you
My brother made me cry today so I wrote this to express what is in side (3 months ago)
Killers
What is it with
people and killing
What is it with
murder and violence
why do they
do this
why do they
want to scare us
I am not scared
I am not afraid
I am mad
I am angry
You decided to have
a killing spree
you ruined peoples'
lives and killed their family
you disrupted mine
and many others
you struck fear in some
but others just laughed
I did not laugh
nor did I fear
For it is not laughing matter
when some one is killed.
For there is nothing to fear
you would be stupid to come here
running just running
that is what you do
you run and you kill
you ruin peoples lives
yet you expect to live a happy life
with no worry or regertts
well you were wrong
now you are caught
Now there is no fear
now there is laughter but not because of rumers
You are caught
but the lives you took will not be forgotten
the lives of people
who had families and friends
Now my life and that of others
is back to normal
but what about those families who lost some one
I greive for those
I knew them not
but I grieve while their town grieves
I grieve when no one here will
I have felt lose so I know the pain
yes I will grieve
for those three that were lost
and i will hope the wounded will
live
I wrote this because there was a killer lose near my town no one was killed here but it affected the entire northern Indiana. Three people were killed and yet I am mad because I could not fly my parachute. I have felt lose and know how those people feel. So will my classmates will go back to the way things were before I will know there are families that will never feel normal again. To any one that lives in Lowell IN. this is for you

K here is one of my best friends poems It isn't one of here best but it is o.k
STAIRCASES
She walks down the staircase
looking for the one thing she knows is out of place
she slows her pace
and there she sees him, her one thing that is out of place
his place is with her up the staircase
not sitting there looking out into space
she stops at the last stair
waiting to see if he'll turn
and see her standing there on that last stair.
He looks up from his daydream
and snaps back into reality
out of the corner of his eye he sees
her standing there
he smiles
and turns his head and smiles for he knows he is in trouble
they've been married
a little more than a year now
but he can already read her mind
it is time for bed she says
he just looks at her and smiles,
then gets up out of his chair
She moves up a stair.
He takes a step
up another stair.
Step. stair. step stair...
their dacne countues till he's at the bottom of the stair case
They each share a smile.
She turns to run but before she turns he's there on the stair she is about to take.
she looks up at him
a mistake she shouldn't have made
his red eyes glisen
she tries to scearm but to no prevail
for he has her traped in a world of darkness
it's to late..
and on that stair her shall stay
Forever on that staircase.
Sorry forgot that this is about vampires she is the goth/emo type chick but is to hyper to pull it off. And she is a big vampire fanatic. When i first read it I thought it was a love poem. well aperently not
A new day
a new day
awaits many things
new loves
and loses
A new day
holds mysteries
A new day
is for changes
and for choices
and for decisions
A new day
will bring
happiness or....
sadness
It may bring
loneliness and sorrow
It may bring
Love and Happiness
A new day
has come
and will bring the gift
of new oppertunites
I usually write depressing poems so I thought I would try to write a happier poem. I think I pretty much failed. O well I hope u enjoyed it. :)
This is another poem by by friend
The Reunion Heart
Since heaven has become your home,
I sometimes feel so alone;
and now though we now are far apart
you hold a big piece of my heart.
I never knew how much I'd grieve
when it was time for you to leave
ot just how much my heart would ache
from that one fragment you would take.
God lets this tender hole remain
reminding me we'll meet again
and one day all the pain will cease
when He restores this missing piece.
He'll turn to joy
my every tear
and it will become my simple way
to treasure our Reunion Day
Her Boyfriend died in a car crash and she loved him For the last five years she has never forgot him. She dedicated this poem to him
Remember
When life gets tough
Remember
When you feel down
Remember
When Your afraid
always Remember
This
You are always loved
by some one
there are always those type of days
that make you wanna go away
But always remember
those happier days
DESTINY
When you lose your path
When you can't find your way
Look at your mistakes
WHen you find
that you need some help
Follow the path
to me
you'll find your destiny
When your lost
you can always find your way
you'll be able to see
if you look the way you came
but don't look
to often
for you'll regrett
ever turn you took
This is not the answer
this is not the way
you must find your path
a different way
take the path in front of you
and do not stray
If you follow these words
you find that you have
come to me
I am your
desnity
I wrote this as a song. hope it is good with out the tune i sung to it

I AM 13
Think just think
What this feels like to me
You never cared
And never will
You say you love me
Then what
You never visit
Never call
Go to jail
And never told me
I am 13
I should be told
When my own father
Doesn’t care to call
You say you miss me
Then come see me
You have to ask
What my favorite color is
You have to ask
What foods I hate
You have to ask
When my birthday is
I am 13
I should be told
When my own father
Doesn’t now me
Do I care
Not any more
Did I care
Very much
Then you broke my heart
That day
The day when I was already sad
You left with out saying hello
You left with me crying into my mother’s arms
You left that day when grandma died
You left that day
Then I knew you loved her more than you loved me
You raced back to her without even a hello
I am 13
I should be told
When my own father
Loves my step-mom more than me.
this is my favorite of all of the poems I have written. It is what got me started.
WE LIVE
We live
We die
But how do we live
But how do we die
We live in the past
We die in the future
When you live
Do you make the best of your day
Or do you mope
Like there is no care in the world
We live in the past
We die in the future
When you die
Will you think you had a good life
Or will you regret
Regret the way that you lived
We live in the past
We die in the future
You should live not on the past
But in the present
You should die but not until
You have lived a full life
When you are depressed
Think how you will feel about this time in later life
Will you like it
Will you hate it
It was your choice
We live in the past
We die in the future
I'M SINKING
I’m sinking
Going to a bottom less pit
There is no one to help me
No one to save me
I am sinking
There is no light at the bottom
I see people around me
But no one is there to save me
I am sinking
Going to a bottom less pit
You saw me there
But you didn’t help
I am sinking
And still you do not help
You stand there
Watching
I am sinking
But do you come rescue me
Do you come and comfort me
No
You stand there watching me
I am sinking
I have reached the bottom
Now you try to save me
But It is to late
I am gone
I have found someone else
To help me
To save me
and now he helps me
while you have lost me
WHEN YOUR LOST
When you are lost
when your alone
you aren't
When your sad
and think no one cares
your wrong
because some where
some body cares
some where
there are people to love
When you feel lost
Don't look back
When your sad
try figure something out
If you need help than ask
You are never alone
you are only as alone
as you feel
