voice

my voice
my voice is my weapon
gleaming bright in the suns rays
shining a path through darkness
leading me along winding roads

my voice
when mountains stand in my way
as tall as the sky
making me feel like nothing

my voice
reminds me that I too,
can stand as tall as a mountain
not letting
anything
make me feel like
nothing

My voice

Mom & Dad

for that
I will always love her for that forever more

there is only one word
FATHER

The Kings Of London

The cold air at Stamford Bridge makes your nose red
The Blues are warming up
While the opposition is in bed

The king of all kings hops onto the pitch
He’s ready to work
and bury the opponents in a nearby ditch
Then they’ll have heard
They’re dealing with
EDEN HAZARD(1)

The Kings of london
They live in the west
And it’s for certain that they are the best

Certain Winter Break

Certainly, no one probably even cares to worry,
But I’ll be certainly fine.
As I leave this certain place today,
I certainly know that in two hours,
It’s certainly time for me to go…to the airport.
Where I will certainly see my mom,
And give her a certain edible candy gift.
And certainly soon then,
I certainly won’t be here in Texas for a few 192 hours.
But certainly, I will temporarily be in California.
A little FAR away from here, I’m certain.
Some people could certainly see me as busy,
Because California is certainly
Where I will spend my certain time
Walking on the certain ground.
Running on the certain grass.
Surveying on the certain sidewalk.
Dodging certain, cold, chilly water forms thrown from a team of taller, moody clouds**.
Eating on a certain chair.
Sleeping on a certain bed.
Playing with my certain brothers.
And certainly enjoying my very own presence.
But I certainly can’t enjoy my very own presents just yet.
I’m certain it’s no.
Certainly not yet.
I’m certain that instead happens in Arizona.
Where I will certainly celebrate
Certainly decorate
And certainly believe
At CHRISTMAS, I’m certain!
WIth possibly ice and certainly smooth, sticky, slimy snow***.
In an apartment, certainly.
A really certain apartment.
And certainly soon then,
I’ll certainly have to leave another place. Again.
But that’s certainly okay!
It’s………It’s certainly fine.
Especially since such a certain new year comes close.
C L O S E R .
T H E C L O S E S T I T C A N B E .
Such a certain new year.
2019.
(Someday, this poem may seem certainly dated.)
BUT A NEW YEAR WILL CERTAINLY COME!
A certain new year.
Where I certainly hope that
Every event happens on the certain, same, similar time.
But certainly a little more differently.
Certain, same, similar.
But certainly a little more differently.
Like I said…
Certainly, no one probably even cares to worry,
But I’ll be certainly fine.
Have a certain winter break, everyone!

Basketball

Dribble, squeak, swish, tweet, clang, brick, thump
these are the sounds of basketball

Dribble, dribble, dribble, squeak, thump, swish,
this is driving the lane and shooting a layup,
taking 3 dribbles then two steps and a quick shot off the backboard

On defense it goes slide, slide, slide, squeak, thump, swat
this is sliding and then getting set and blocking a shot

Dribble, pass, squeak, squeak, thump, dribble,
dribble, swish
This is dribbling, then passing, so my teammate scores, when the ball is
In the air for what felt like an eternity, but the ball finally goes in

This sport brings me joy

Life is a staircase

Dear self,

life i s n ‘ t p e r f e c t
your life is like a staircase
when you break a board on a staircase
your life is broken with all the sadness

C
L
I
M
B
when you the stairs and reach the top
your life is filled with all the years you have reached too

when you get on the stairs and get a splinter that you can get out
life is filled with problems that you can overcome
when you see the colorful boards on a staircase
Your life is overfilled with all the joy you have encountered in your life!!

The Staircase of LIfe

Keep Going

I keep going
I keep going up and up and up
One step after the other I keep going
I will never give up on the staircase of life

I dodge a missing tile
A
E P
L over a hole, meant to stop and trip me

I keep on going
I keep on ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuning
I keep on going as hard as I can on the
S
R
I
A
T
S of life.

The Bad and the Good

School is a Roller Coaster
going Up and Down and Up again.
Good days, Bad days and Good again

Surprises, Twists and Turns, Its FAST then gets SLOwer.
there can be Pain,
and you will Gain,

yet you never know what is Right around the corner
you may be Certain
but sometimes you just Can’t Explain,

SCHOOL IS A ROLLER COASTER

I hate Poetry

I use it as a excuse to say It brings my average down
All the
Way to
The
Ground.
When I get home I say
I didn’t like ELA today
We did poetry
My friend and I think it’s boring, we both agree
This poem is really bad
Poetry just makes me mad.

I don’t think I will ever use

It
If
I
Do
then I will just sit
I have
wo clue
why i’m
writing this.

does rhyme have to go throughout the whole poem?
This whole thing sucks, that will really show em
I honestly think this assignment stupid
I don’t even care about cupid
I have a bad grade so I had to do extra credit
Its honestly worst then debit
End of stanza
Poetry is like the dab
A dead meme unlike a cab

I hope that this poem gets me a good grade
My cat meows unlike slade.
This trash is over
I’m never gonna find a four leaf clover.
