The Sky

I don’t know what to write about, this really won’t be fun, they said we would have 30 minutes, now that time has begun. And 30 minutes later, my teachers yell, “Now your time is done!” Speaking of teachers, why don’t I write about 5-302? “Who is 5-302,” you ask? Who is 5-302?! Well, you should know because 5-302 is certainly better than you, but if you do not, it means your brain has started to rot. Should I tell you? If I … Continue reading My Teachers Said

PS 321

Kindergarten, I was scared and small, but it was fun after all and before I knew it, I was already in first grade. First grade was fun, bug study and rollerskating.

After 4 months of school, Covid came in and remote learning became the school journey. And before I knew it, I was already in third grade! Third grade started hybrid, it was full of fun, drama was in everyone! And before I knew it, I … Continue reading PS 321

Stayed Home

I stayed home when you made me. You said, “Look at the weather, can you even see?” You said it looked bad when it really looked good. It made me so mad, so I stood, and I stood, then you finally told me, “Do what you want, I really don’t care.” So I went and to prove what I did with a stove in a kitchen do not make the sense.

School

School is crazy like a whirling tornado. The day lasts forever like a book that will never end. Homework can be tiring like running a race. Tests can be stressful like walking on a tightrope. Friends can be difficult like a word you forgot how to spell. Playing soccer and tag outside is chaotic like a busy amusement park. Lunch is loud like a stampede of animals. Topics are confusing like something that you just can’t quite understand. Field trips are interesting like a really cool fact you just learned. Celebrations are wild like a large mosh pit. Learning was … Continue reading School

Drama

Oh drama, it gives you trauma. Drama happens a lot! But I never understand the plot. It’s always something dumb, dumber than sucking your thumb! Fights, disagreements, excluding friends. Arguments, conflicts, it never ends! They say, “You’re being rude!” But really they just have attitude. “I didn’t say that!” they say. But no one ever said, “Did they?” If they say “copy cat!” one more time, I WILL bash in your hat. So, calm down and just relax. So, I don’t have to do that! Continue reading Drama

Italian Food

Italian Food gives me a good mood! Pizza and pepperoni. Pasta and sauce. I like it so much. A little cheese that doesn’t freeze. A super big slice that does not like a mice. The ice is amazing too. They do not sell steak so the cow still says moo. Strawberry, vanilla, and cookie’s and cream. They are good like a meme. It is so delicious that I think it is precious. And if you don’t like a pool then you are a little fool. Continue reading Italian Food

We need change in this world Everybody in this world Come out of that ball, you can uncurl If sexism is a thing, why don’t we take all the goodness out of this world Because … Continue reading Sexism

I’m From Poem

I am from grassy turf and hard concrete. I am from dirty shoes and messy tables. I am from shouts of, “You have to be stronger there!”And, “Come on, you can do this!” I am from dog hair and sloppy licks. I am from the surge of energy flowing through me. I am from Mom’s bean soup and vegetable pie. I am from hours at Prospect Park exploring nature. I am from England, Cape Cod, and Upstate New York. I am from nasty bruises and itchy bites. I am from laughing with friends on FaceTime. I am from Camp Becket, … Continue reading I’m From Poem

Eternity

Locked up for what seemed for ages Infinite things that kept me out Chains keeping me in forever Nothing seems right Nothing seems wrong Time is keeping me out second by second Just like being lost with no knowledge where to go There is no beginning or end I am stuck in between I am as lost as an odd number The time is ticking, but I am still here Steeples, mountains that go on for centuries It has seemed as time is immortal Years, years have passed I can’t think right now Everything is decaying It seems that I … Continue reading Eternity

The Phantom’s Soul

A wisp of mist and glow You float through foggy nights Forever lost in the world Living in abandoned sights Swimming with the stars Drinking from the rain Healing your past scars Abandoning the pain Your body now lies Peaceful in the ground Your soul lets out a sigh For death has you earthbound Continue reading The Phantom’s Soul

The Discovery

Feel for it Attempt to grasp it But it scurries away from you, trying to hide You cannot withstand the need to find The one thing you have always been seizing, Has left you distraught and wheezing . . . But in the end you will only discover That this thing cannot be touched, It cannot be mangled or pulled at, Only desired . . . By many before you And when the hope to find it just might fall, The realization comes from within you That what you are looking for has been Right there in front of you Continue reading The Discovery
