PS 321

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

Hands Up High

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

Difficult To Be Different

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

Identity

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

Coincidence

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

Birds

Take It All In

Look at that Flapper

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

Alone

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

Polar Bear

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

Flood

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

Cherry Blossom

It has detailed wood Its pink petals fall off in the wind. In the shade it’s pink with the wind blowing more petals falling off. In the sun it looks pink while you can see the wood better. When there is sound around its wind. I wonder why it lasts so short for only the perfect time of spring. It smells like a flower except it’s a cherry blossom tree. Continue reading Cherry Blossom

Not alone

I stare out the window to the lonely streets As I wait I hear the cheers of people during the election I feel the tears of those who has lost something to the cruel claws of COVID I can see the roads and streets lonely and isolated. Waiting for someone to walk in them again All as I sit in my empty room. When I cry I feel thousands of people crying with me When I cheer the hear the echos of a million people cheering together We are not alone. As if we have fallen we are getting up … Continue reading Not alone
