It flashes across the sky, a yellow fork of heat and light. Soon after comes a rumbling BOOM! of thunder, startling many people. Another blinding flash of light, branching down on a tree, setting it aflame in a huge shower of sparks. BOOM! BLAST! It continues, beautiful but devastating, like a poisonous butterfly or a rainbow viper. Lightning is a demon’s hand, reaching down from the sky, destroying anything it touches, Unstoppable. But in a matter of time, It’ll be like it was never there. Continue reading Lightning

As the lights flash back and forth You hear the crack of the bat, The crowd goes wild like monkeys when they find bananas And the pitcher scolds As the hitter runs from 2nd to 3rd, the umpire cleans home plate, and it happens over again. Continue reading Home Run

Sometimes Time flies by But Others it’s slow as a snail Holding On to every moment Or Wishing one would leave Tick, tock Tick, Whether You’re hoping or dreading There is no choice in time When Time goes by The striking “DING” When the clock hits 12 When You realize the moment has passed When You want to go back You Can never change the past But the future is yours To decide When time goes by. Continue reading When Time Goes By

Last time, the last month Six years at PS 321 Now I’m done I will miss it so much. So many fun times Out to lunch Social studies-from transportation in Kindergarten to the Roaring 20s in fifth grade From addition to fractions It feels like a second home The future will be different but this past will always be here Continue reading PS 321

As our hands are up high we hold the rainbow flag carrying our differences The community tightly holds us together as one rainbow, not just one color. While people will laugh, we would stand tall And someday we will come in and people won’t laugh They’ll just think, “wow, that is a beautiful community.” Continue reading Hands Up High

Some love different Than just girls and boys Similar to me. Similar to many who others don’t understand. Those others insult or hate on our love And I hold back my Tears. Refusing to flood the earth With my sadness And anger. At home, my family comforts me To no avail Each comment makes My heart sink lower Until my heart is almost down To the core of the Earth. And sometimes I wonder If I was ‘normal’ Would they accept me then? Continue reading Difficult To Be Different

The rush of the waves The silence of the tide The feel of the sand against my feet The joy of friends laughing with you The beach is what it is The breeze feels cold in the air but I just don’t care Continue reading Beach

When people look at my hand my fingers they see. On the first finger they see a baby. On the second a kid. On the next one a mother. And the last an elder. But I am none of what you see because I am all. Continue reading Identity

You can buy items and sell them back and whoever gets the most money in 15 minutes wins. The Yankees and the Red Sox have tied the game. They both been playing lame. The Yankees have last licks. The pitcher is throwing his sixth pitch. To determine it all. The fans are about to fall. The batter hit a drible to third. That guy is totally absurd. The catcher reaches his glove. He tries to catch it above. It hits the batter instead. Hopefully he is not dead. The game ends on a sour note. The hurted batter gets a … Continue reading Coincidence

Light as a halo Elusive as the air Enduring the wind beneath its wings. A dream gliding past the swollen sun waiting for what the day brings. Continue reading Birds

Hey if you’re reading this right now I graduated, and whatever grade you’re in you might hate school, but take it all in because you’re gonna leave and find a new school, this is more of a statement, not a poem, but count it as both. Continue reading Take It All In

Sequins that shimmers, a room that glimmers, All around me people laughing, I feel just like a bird soaring so high. My necklace bracelets and all of my jewels make a sound though all I hear are ooh’s, With fringe that dances all around me, glances but I just keep doing my thing. My bright colors blind everyone who tries to bind me. My feathers soft by me yet spiky at sights none can contain me cause all I see is delight. A room full of laughter oh that flapper so dapper look at that flapper! Continue reading Look at that Flapper

Once, I met this dog that said bark bark bark I caught a fish and it ate it. It then ripped apart a bee hive and a cat hive It got stung by a cat five times It screeched AHHHHHHHHH Continue reading The Dumb Dog

Everyone has this moment The feeling of chains, holding you back Dragging you farther behind Lost in a world of hatred and hurt A bubble, isolating you from the joyful world above You feel, like you don’t belong You are a wilted flower in a field of thriving plants Slowly dying, and forever forgotten Continue reading Alone

I too sing America All these masks, social distancing and less fun outside Having to play virtually with friends But next year when I’m at a new school I’ll know that 2020 and 2021 is just a bad memory I too sing America Continue reading Pandemic Schooling

A Giant a god of the cold Ice planet Its roar like a frothing mountain stream Dropping down in a canyon sounding like a cannon Its claws, five giant obsidian daggers Jutting out of a forest of snow and a snow white slick of fur Its teeth like a million white cold knives cutting through the slick gray of a fish Its feet pounding, smashing, crashing through the ice snapping a dull gray fish dead no more fish The seal The two rivals facing off water cold deadly water splash the bear swimming in water as cold as a winter … Continue reading Polar Bear

The sand sizzling under my feet As I take a step toward the whooshing wave The water greets me with a splash, and then a crash. As I jump in, not only the water is flooding, but the memories, too I dunk my head and begin to swim Splash, Curl, Boom. I get stampeded by the foaming bubbles of the deep blue sea The water waves then again, goes down with a splash So I get tumbled, out of the water The sand gathering to catch my fall. I retreat back to the warmth of my towel the water glistening … Continue reading Flood
