I see the pitcher glare,
not stare,
then the pitcher throws the ball,
with his all,
Pow! the ball goes out wide,
it’s like an ocean tide,
washing you away,
to the day,
I knew baseball was not lame,
but an amazing game

The ice and snow is so great
I can’t wait to go ice skate
Some people hate the ice and snow
and would rather stay inside and drink hot cocoa

The ice and snow is so great
It will be here all winter in this state
but when it has melted all away
all the people will say, see you next winter time

Good and Bad are very different
Yet they go together so well.

They are the feelings we are judged by
They are the feelings whom are opposites.

We have some, deep down inside
They are the feelings we share to all.

They are the balance in our world
We need them both, even the bad.

Without them both, the world will crumble
They are the light in the dark.

Your smile is the definition of beauty
Your eyes like a pair of stars
When you laugh birds begin to sing
And I know
Your mind is bursting at the seams
With dreams

Your heart is kind enough for me
Your voice brings sunbeams to the Earth
When you approach I flutter
And you know
I believe you will do great things
With your mind that is bursting at the seams
With dreams

Lost evergreen smiles
No more sugar coated laughs
All out of fulfilled hopes

My sun stained tears are dry
My broken dreams have been mended
And my sunken frowns have disappeared

I have been gone
But who I am has returned
Now I am here to prove
My evergreen smile is as strong as before

Her heart was pure enough to turn gravel to gold.
She had crimson lips that were curled into a constant smile that could brighten even the darkest days.
She was the girl helping the old man across the street and nurturing the bird with the broken wing.
She had flowered eyes and cried tears of sun.
Nothing could stand in her way.

Fulmore Middle School

7th grade

It’s the darkest night
Trick or treating and costumes
The scary noises

My family are all connected like a tall strong, firm, standing house
We all help around the house
My dad is the strong, supporting foundation and he supports the family
My mom is the protective roof and she protects us from the objects flying outside
My sister is the looking window and she helps us look outside at the small world
My brother are the tall walls supporting the roof and he helps support my mom with smiles and laughs

As happy as a student
All the work that is late
The tests that are due
What a wonderful day!

Where I’m From
I am from putting away laundry and cleaning my room
From Nike and Adidas
I’m from the rocky road and the red brick two story house
From soaring trees as tall as the eye can see
From the road seeming like a never ending trail,that no one knows when it will end

I am from the fresh smelling flowers and trees blowing in the breeze in my front yard
From the old wood underneath my bed that used to be my crib
I am from waking up on Christmas morning, and opening up mounds and mounds of gifts

And from long, shiny, straight brown hair that covers my shoulders or is held high in a pony tail
From Jennifer Cantu’ and Gregorio Cantu’ saying “Your smile is as bright as a ray of sunshine”

I’m from friends who are a treasure
From the nice dinners and the cracking of a joke
I am from “work hard” and “calm down”
From “Actions speak louder than words’’ and “Blessing in disguise”
I’m from crosses around my family members necks and the prayers for God to watch over us

I’m from Austin,Tejas
From chicken enchiladas as my favorite dish
From sweet, crunchy, chocolate chip covered, creamy cannolis
From the crack of dawn soccer games to mid afternoon basketball games

From the aunts and uncles who fought for our country
From the hearts of wisdom
I’m from the refrigerator magnets, walls and shelves hanging with photographs that frame our loved ones and special memories
