I’m from running and playing, jumping and tagging I’m made up from family movie night to 80’s music all around the house I’m made from pizza, burgers, homemade meals, takeout and family dinners Where I’m from, we celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas and so many more holidays I’m from throwing and catching and creative art I’m made from football, basketball, baseball, not to win but to have fun I’m from caucasian skin and dark hair I’m from reading and writing and math to science Where I’m from, we fall and we get right back up again I’m made up from good … Continue reading Where I’m From

China bowls with intricate designs Bright red chopsticks going Clickety, clack, clickety, clack Hot steam winding through the air Laughter fills the room Noodles lying in delicious hot broth Covered in luscious green scallions Waitresses rush around with steaming Hot bowls on their trays Through the curtain the cook shouts orders It seems like a million pots and pans are on the stove As you wait you can smell the delicious food As it passes by your table Finally there’s your food You slurp it up and you warm up immediately From the hot broth That’s Danbo. Continue reading Danbo

Its glorious feathers stand out the most As it swims gracefully across the lake, its fellow ducks Look at it in jealousy, they wish they could have the feathers and grace like The Swan The Swan’s beak has perfect symmetry as it strides out of the water It seems as if it has already dried itself As it flies the bird watchers say “dang it” in disappointment even though they were lucky to glimpse such a wonderful bird. Continue reading The Swan

The connection between two completely different people But hiding in the blanket of darkness between them There is still a spark Trusting each other Laughing at each other Knowing that you’re not alone The spark will eventually change It’s not shy anymore As it leads you the way to happiness The connection grows stronger As you disagree The spark begins to crawl away Happiness Is the darknesses weakness A new chapter begins Let the spark lead Don’t stop it Believe it Friendship Continue reading Friendship

Cats are great, special, unique Some are playful, some are calm Their presence is all it takes cause when you’re near them you’ll feel great They are furry fuzzy cute (if you’re wondering, yes they love you too) Some cats are active but mostly at night If you don’t upset them you won’t get in a fight Cats are amazing, they’ll jump up the wall maybe even higher than you are tall Cats like water, yes it’s true, but never if they’re forced to Cats are loyal, they’ll make you feel better I hope this poem shows that if you … Continue reading Cats

A roof, a roof over my head. Having a blast on those late, cold, rainy nights when you just want to fall asleep at 5 PM spent in a good way. In a way when you lay on the couch and play games with your family with that roof being intact. The roof that keeps you protected from even the darkest of weathers and verifies that you have a sense of safety rushing throughout your body, like a bullet. Continue reading Roof

Elix Inkeles, Felled in a foreign land. He lived in King’s County, He enlisted in war. Only twenty-three, He stays with the French. Despite all that we know About the first World War, We have forgotten Elix Inkeles, His purple star shining, Only one phrase preserved From his last letter home: ‘I am well and contented.’ Did Elix like sunsets? Did he love lemonade? Did he gaze at fireflies On serene summer nights? But most of all, I ask: Why did he go to war? Did he even want to? Just by the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, His memorial rests In … Continue reading Felled

Run down the court, dribble, dribble, pass, swish. The ball gets bounced on the floor and thrown in the air. Swish swoosh. Stumble, fumble trip and fall I get up and Try, Again.

I. Hair. It is a dark shade of unknown. It is not long But not short It is a beehive. It is a curse, but it is a blessing too. II. Clap I run on my toes The springs feel good on my feet. I jump I flip I make contact with the mat. Perfect landing Cheers fill the arena. III. I Talk. My voice wanders on its own path. For better or for worse. Who will ever know. IV. Numbers are everything. I love the possibilities that come with them They fly all over the room They flood my … Continue reading The Whole Me

Sun streams Through my window Birds chirp, As I walk down the sunny street. Clouds float in the baby blue sky, Coffee shops Filled with people Spring is here. Green trees, Colorful flowers blooming, People are happy. In the fresh Monday morning air I think: Rainy days are In the past, sunny skies Here at last. Continue reading Monday Morning Poem

Monday poetry The sunny blue skies seemed to crash. And the little girl in front of the coffee shop came crashing down with them. Was the presence of this cookie so important That she had to scream and yell. She was the lightning to the storm People’s eyes turned to stare. Mouths starting to whisper But the screaming never stopped. Her mom was about to blow No one could stand anymore of her kids’ show. But just like that As I crossed the street all of those sunny skies came back to me . Continue reading Monday Poetry

I walk down the stairs Through the gassy doors Just to take in the morning air. 8:15 I walk down the stairs Slugging my backpack behind me Walk past the cold clear doors Just like I did before Breathing in the sunny clear skies I walk down hard brown shapes And turn my least favorite way, The un right way. 8:21 As I walk up 1st street I overhear people mumbling I watch emo kids looking at people But when I look forward I see the rush of people and that’s when I know it’s time for school.

Many trees cover The great island of the sea It gives them cover The laboratory Through a long path in the caves It empowers them The hunters arrive They drop down with strong weapons And begin their search Using team power And monsters on the island Those five disappeared But five more soldiers With more shell-shocking weapons They turned to ashes We have all four keys Let’s find our bright escape from This simulation Continue reading Isle

Ode to my dog Brown fur Hazel eyes Stubby paws Waxed mustache She gleams in a chocolate tux Her coattails sway back and forth when she is joyous A hat that flops down A fear of swimming Fluffy She likes ground beef And a pig ear appetizer In her silver bowl with clear water She dances Sleek swift slippery Slides Between my legs Twirls Tries to catch scraps from the table Wool jackets Paws clad in boots So cute. . . . . . Oh, she pooped! Continue reading Ode To My Dog
