The One Thing

The one thing that always keeps me awake,
The one thing that never ever goes away,

Stays down in the basement where nobody strays,
Stays below when day to stay in the shade,

Waits till dark to finally make his way,
Climbs up the stairway covered in his cape,

Looks for someone who stayed though it’s late,

To march up the stairs and come where I lay,
To slip his teeth into my throat and take me as prisoner far far away

Nightmares

As the light slips away from the sky
The haunter of dreams begins to rise

One by one he collects his beasts
To invade the minds of children fast asleep

Witches, demons, even the dark, start to enter the dreams of children near and far

The children squirm on their beds as the devilish creatures control their heads

Then in the morning when the sun starts to appear,
The ghastly beings flee the scene until finally, their master fear comes near

Girl

Just a girl
No, so much more.
No idea how much she impacts
the lives of others,
bringing happiness and light.

I look at her
I feel like a bomb of emotions about to explode.
Happiness and warmth inside
OR
Frustration and confusion inside,
BUT
I love her smile.

When she looks at me
I get this feeling
like I just ate a whole bag of pop rocks.
Her drawings and paintings
all over the walls
remind me
that no matter how mad or upset I am
at her
I will always love her
and she will always be
my sister.

I can’t imagine how different my life would be
if she wasn’t in it.
She’s my world,
my other half,
she’s my sister.
Never, just a girl.

Hero-you

A hero doesn’t have to be
someone with powers.

Anyone that you believe in,
anyone that is an influence in someone’s life.
Everyone can be a hero.

All you have to do is believe,
believe in yourself,
believe in others.

Everyone deserves a hero
maybe it’s your mom or your dad.
Or maybe you can be your own.

Make an impact in your life.

Ice Cream

Ice cream!
It tastes so good.
It feels like you are chewing lots of different flavors.
Ice cream feels like a cloud
With endless possibilities like caramel, strawberry, chocolate, vanilla. There’s even ice cream that has candy in it.
Whenever you chew ice cream it feels like you are in ice cream world it is so chewy like a browny.
And also the ice cream has a little cherry on top of it and the cherry looks like a little hat the cherry is ;o so cute and the ice cream looks very delicious.
some ice creams are decorated with goody’s,
like chocolate chips in them
and sprinkles in them and some ice creams have
candies like nerds
and also little chocolates candies
some have strawberries some have marshmallows
and some have nuts they are really good .
Ice cream feels really cold
and sometimes ice cream is hard
but when you lik the ice cream it feels really soft
sometimes the ice cream feels really squishy, and sometimes soggy .
The ice cream smells like a bunch of flavors
and it also smells like so many kinds of candy.

Vesuvius

In AD 79,
In the town of Pompeii,
A volcano rose up
And blew it away.

The people weren’t silent,
they were very loud.
The sky was all dark
like a giant black cloud.

The eruption was violent,
as you can see.
One of the biggest eruptions
in history.

When Pencil Touches Paper

When pencil touches paper,
A new universe is made.
As pencil touches paper,
ideas may come later.
“But that can’t be true!” you could say.
But yet again, my words are true.
I create a story, even if it’s just a line.
Stories could be happy and even blue.
But all stories have one common thing,
They all must take a bit of time.
Big stories or little stories they all need some time.
Then again,
When pencil touches paper,
A universe is made.
And trust me,
I don’t lie.

Random Poem

There were some llamas
In the Bahamas
And they ate nothing but camas (beds)

Then they met a camel
That spoke Tamil
He was a young mammal

The camel died eventually
Because he was being a total sissy
And running from a lily (flower)

Then a guy
Said the llamas died
But he lied
So he had to say goodbye
To America

Then he moved to Japan
And bought a frying pan
also a ceiling fan
Then he banned
People from buying land
Then he got banned from Japan

A guy named Coda
Went into a coma
And woke up in Oklahoma

Then a really green lime
Said a rhyme
As soon as he did a bell chimed
Wait …. Did I see a mime?

My stanzas don’t match the plot
A whole lot
So let’s get a tater-tot
Or something (what am I doing)

Finally, something plot based
There was a really big race
And the llama tied his shoe-lace.

This is a total cliffhanger
But a really cool rapper
Got kidnapped by a kidnapper
And a weird ringmaster.

The llamas saved him
But didn´t enslave him
And possibly slayed him

Because they´re known to do that
With sewer rats
And certain types of bats.

The llamas weren’t dumb
And didn’t get numb
And they always chewed gum.

This is the end of this random poem.
I hope your dignity isn’t broken .
And I really want you to be able to focus.
Oh word of advice, don’t take tokens.

Toad

Toad, he sat by the road
playing games.
His ipad had a code;
it took a while to load.
He wrote an ode.
It was so good it glowed.
Then it snowed,
and ruined all his work.

Toad was walking down the side of the road when he saw a spade
there was also a guy with a blade
but this guy he made
his blade and Toad, decided to battle he got cut so he needed a healing aid.

He walked away hurt and thirsty he found a house with people that let him stay so he drank some lemonade
and had toast with marmalade.
