SWINKIE

the orange and yellow whirls all on its surface
is the sleek clear wrapper
that will scamper to the trash
it reveal a delicious treat
its bright yellow flames
are the sweet chewy
golden outside cake
its rays
are the aroma it gives off
its core made of
deadly gases
is the fluffy frosted filling
that melts in your mouth

To me
The sun is a
Twinkie

Christmas Tree

Christmas tree
your stand tall and
free…

Your branches reach up to the sky
green and bright,
bright with shiny sphere,
spheres of different colors,
colors of the rainbow,
a rainbow that you reach…

The star on top of you
who rises beyond the rainbow,
is like a cherry on top of an icecream cone
your shiny spheres are sprinkles…

Christmas tree
you stand tall and
free…

Thank you for the
true meaning
that you bring to me…

We Are the Elements

We are the elements,
just the four of us.
Fire,
with a burning heart.
Water,
kind and soft.
Earth,
almost stable.
and Air,
strong and happy.

but Earth is gone,
disappeared during a quake.

not much has changed,
but everything has.

the Fire is fading
burning out.

Water and Air have come closer,
descending into a fog.

and Earth is returning,
s l o w l y.

there was a disaster,
but it has started to fix itself.

we are coming back together,
the elements in harmony,
once again.

My Crazy Life

I was selling some shells while taking a Stroll
when I Found lots of gold
but there was a very, very Sick troll
So I Got a cold

also I was in the state of Oklahoma
with my Mom
When I got my Diploma
So I Told my friend tom

And once I was listening to A song
While I was eating Hot sauce
In the car Like a pig But the song was long
so I put on Lip Gloss

That Was quick
so I will Wack my self with a stick

CHRISTMAS eve

CHRISTMAS eve
CHRISTMAS eve
the hardest night to fall asleep all year
but you must believe
if not SANTA won’t be near

you might try to creep like a mouse
all the way through your DECORATED hall
but don’t move or make a peep in your house
if you do the man might not come at all

SANTA is his name and delivering PRESENTS is his game
he delivers to good girls and boys
and has lots of fame
the man gives tons of TOYS

So DECK THE HALLS WITH HOLLY
and stay nice to this man
he is so JOLLY
your GIFTS for CHRISTMAS are in his hands

My family is like a car…

My family is like a car…

My family is like a car, not new, not old.
But we aren’t too quiet, and never too bold.
We aren’t too smooth, like a supercar or jet,
But we aren’t too old, like an ugly Chevy or Corvette.

Though my mom is like the wheels, that drive us all,
My dad like the engine, either on or off.
My brother like the air conditioner, likes to keep the flow going,
My sister like the air freshener, which you can do without, but would really enjoy to have.

And me like the seatbelt,
That holds us all in place.

My Harp

I sit here
Hugging my harp
As her silent words fill the room.
Others look
And see a hollow nothingness
Inside her,
But I see
The path where imagination walks.

She may be
Scratched up and dented,
But I can see past
All that
Deep inside
Where music waits
To be played.

As I sit here
Hugging my harp,
I feel cozy
Even though the wood is cold as ice.
The teacher talks,
The students chatter,
But all I hear
Is the beautiful silent words
of my harp.

Shooting Stars

I am covered by darkness
quick flash of light swam across the night
bright bright stars

oh, how beautiful these stars
the stars create a light in the darkness
the stars are like a lamp in the night

when no more light is shown at night
I hope to find shooting stars
a star that will end the darkness

a star that will take over all darkness

Where Im from

I am from TV
From fabuloso and dove hand soap
I am from the small looking house on the corner of a street that smells like fall fell from heaven
I am from the poinsettias in my window
The rose bush in my front yard
Whose sticks I stepped on stabbed my foot
I’m from late nights on christmas eve and “who can hold their breath the longest?”
From Jack and Emily
I’m from biting nails and yelling
And from consequences for talking back
I am from don’t suck your thumb or your teeth will fall out and leave me alone i’m playing my games
And your worth it
I’m from ham on thanksgiving

I’m from Minnesota
And from saying what we are thankful for on thanksgiving
I’m from hey buddha belly and I wanna squeeze you in two pieces
I’m from Emily Ann Parsons
