So Many Unknown Stars

When you look out into the air
and then you look back into the world,
you don’t know what is going on.
When you look up, you can see
so many unknown stars,
but then they are known,
and you aren’t alone.
You don’t know how to talk
but you say hello.
Can we talk? you say,
but you are already talking.
When the wind is blowing,
you stay and wait.
When you were young
you were old.

This is me

I love Christmas so much
I always hear people talking
when I am opening my stocking.

People say that I’m funny
and that’s right on the money

I have a big sense of humor
that means I’m very funny
but that does not mean that I like to be running.

When I’m bored I like to write about my feelings
and at the end I always make it right.

A Leaf

A beautiful shiny leaf landing softly on the grass like a feather falling from a bird.

Sadly, the leaf got smushed and kicked into tiny pieces like tiny cookie crumbs by giant feet.
‘Ouch, that hurts!’
Anger flew around the little leaf crumbs.

But then, wind blew the little leaf crumbs away.
A little piece of tiny crumbs started to fall.
Feeling down.
Falling a sleep.

When the little leaf crumbs awoke,
it felt energy of the earth.
There’s no more anger.

A worm greeted the leaf crumbs.
A bird sang a song.
A tree brightly smiled.

It was a wonderful life again.

Where I’m From

I am from video games and basketballs
from homework and books
I am from the house of project central
I am from the big and huge home and
I am from the apple tree and the oak tree
I am from the neighborhood full of boys and girls and fun
I’m from making tamales and eating them on Christmas Eve
I’m from Robert and Gabriela and
CQ and Rhyea and
Polo and Chewy
I’m from the fireworks and block parties
I’m from “I’ll give you something to cry about”
and “Love you!”
I’m from believing in heaven
I’m from the Army and
I’m from San Antonio, Texas and
Mexico City
I’m from pizza and
Ice cream
I’m from peace
I’m from nieces and parents
I’m from pictures on the wall
I am from road trips and the military!

The Sky

The sky is blue so are you but I still like you. you are nice but in your house you have mice
When outside we play a lot but a bee
Tries to sting me but you protect me
So the
Sky is blue and but this story will not end because we are friends

The little sailor

The little sailor came to the sea as proud as can be,
As he passed some fish, he caught some to put on a dish,
As he sailed by he came out on a new sea,
As that happened the sea came to be a that could never be to see,
A storm of terror the angry sea swallowed the tiny ship,
And was never found.
