Where I’m From

I’m from dancing to music from today And from the 80’s & 90’s Doing homework while singing to Queen Getting distracted by singing too much I’m from hitting the ball with a wooden bat in the park Unique by being the only girl on my baseball team and flag football team I’m from my moms homemade tikka masala and omelettes With bacon sizzling on her pan in the kitchen Running home to have homemade tacos and guac I’m from wizards and witches, the boy who lived In a magical place almost like you were sucked up By another world I’m … Continue reading Where I’m From

Bacon

Sizzle sizzle Grease drizzle Smell drifting Scent lifting Really, what is life without it Tastes so good you just want to shout it Try it with Lettuce Tomato Eggs And cheese And if you’re crazy enough, why not honey From the bees I need it, I need it One serving after the next Then when I get to school My breakfast I’ll flex When other kids are bragging about that cereal they eat I take out my bacon and bon appétit Continue reading Bacon

Red Lobster

When I’m at Red Lobster I eat like a monster. I love the shrimp. I eat it with a dip. My mom tells me to slow down get a grip. Let’s not talk about the crab leg, if I don’t get them I always beg. I don’t really eat that healthy, but the Caesar salad is too valid. My favorite thing is the biscuits they come out nice and hot. We always get a lot because it hits the right spot.

Soccer

Soccer is the best sport of all. Two teams battle it off, knee-to-knee and neck-to-neck. You got the goats, Messi and Ronaldo, Messi’s better. You got the top-corner shot, got the goalie just standing there. The neon, pink, and red cleats, the new drip everyone’s talking about. You got the skills, Maradona’s and flip flaps; don’t forget about Meg’s. You got the tournament metal and the party too, talk about the win for hours. Tournament hotel’s, we all love them. Jump in the pool 24/7. You got the team, all working together, my team? Used to be a PSU now … Continue reading Soccer

The Pilot’s Apprentice

I am the copilot. I sit on the right. It’s up to me to be quick and bright. I never talk back for I have regrets. But I have to remember what the captain forgets. I make out the flight plan, and check on the weather. Pull up the gear, then manage the rudder. Make out the papers and do the reporting, And fly the aircraft while the captain is snoring. I take the rudder, adjust the power, Put on the heaters when we’re in a shower, Tell him where we are in the darkest night, And do all the … Continue reading The Pilot’s Apprentice

Pen

A colored pen to paper. My pen writes my thoughts. My pen writes my classwork. My pen writes my homework. My pen is a blue ocean covered in brightness. A pen, can be any color. Just imagine! Pens have ink, and I don’t want it to leak. Pens can be pink, blue, red, purple, yellow, orange, and more. A pen makes me happy, to express all I want to write and draw on paper. Continue reading Pen

Where I’m From

I’m from tennis hitting the ball so powerful, being the best player in the country for my age being a star making national tennis tournaments getting sponsored by tennis brands It’s all a dream come true. I’m from my cats them meowing slow blinking begging for snacks doing cute poses snuggling with me playing with me they’re all just so cute. I’m from being a little brother asking my older sister to play with me in the backyard always annoying her always spending time with her being nice to her being mean to her fighting with her joking with her … Continue reading Where I’m From

Fibs

When I was five I couldn’t fly But I would lie That I could fly I also said I had magical powers When I couldn’t Change the hours But the lying Has come to a stop Even though I’m an undercover cop Continue reading Fibs

Pencil

It’s sharp Gliding across the paper Gliding, gliding, mistake Just flip over and erase Gliding, gliding, done Flip over, and wait it’s dull And you realize The graphite as dark as night and Yellow as bright as the sun Metal as shiny as a mirror and Eraser as pink as cotton candy Marvel at how simple, yet complicated And that’s a pencil. Continue reading Pencil

Where I’m From

I’m from football frenzy Everyone is screaming about calls Sweating in the scorching hot summer And pain when you try to catch the ball in winter. Where I’m from, fried rice or nachos means a good day From having it at parties, for lunch, and for breakfast and from fresh for dinner to leftovers after having sushi. Where I’m from, I’m the youngest of me and my brother wrestling And me losing because he is older and stronger And me being annoyed. I’m from walks in the city Fun new history facts from Dad Ken Burns’ documentaries I’m from dirty … Continue reading Where I’m From

Yo-Yo

Yo-Yos, slick and smooth Blasting towards the ground Soaring like a rocket Right back to the hand Strings wrap around Tight as can be Flick the wrist, blast off once again Slicing through the air Quiet as a whisper. Continue reading Yo-Yo

My Mind

My mind controls me. It tells me what to do. Big swirling world of thoughts deciding my every move. What I do and what I say. My mind has a personality. I am thankful I have this. My beautiful mind. Continue reading My Mind

My Soccer Team

I always have a group of friends by my side. We do weird things like put on funerals for bugs that have died. We stay close like a pack of sardines And search for money under arcade machines. We steal sugar at buffets like raccoons And tournaments always seem to end too soon. We travel to different places, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Maryland And with us, things never go as planned. Arguing with referees is something we do every game And each day is never the same. We always buy way too much junk food And we’re always in a … Continue reading My Soccer Team

My Heart Is a Gorilla

There are days that I am Levi And days when I am not My heart is a gorilla swinging in the morning And a bird hiding at night If only I could swing in the morning I would be free If only I could let go of death I would be the happiest gorilla Dad, this poem is for you To love is to be the happiest gorilla Continue reading My Heart Is a Gorilla

So Much Poverty

Poverty here Poverty there Poverty here and there Poverty is almost everywhere People on the street Begging in need When I walk by thinking, “I have a home And he does not. I have food, And he does not.” It’s painful to see A man living in poverty While others are living fancy. Continue reading So Much Poverty

Where I’m From

Where I’m from I get all the attention I get ice cream and sometimes he gets a lick The feeling of happiness surrounds me While whatever surrounds him Is the smell of MY ice cream I’m from a whole lot of “Mom can we get ramen?” I’m from even more of “I’m going out with friends to Starbucks, I’ll be back later or maybe tomorrow!” Where I’m from, it’s boba on the daily. It’s at friends’ houses and “The big game” Is how my family says “Twister” With an 11-year old, a 10-year old, and a 6-year old When people … Continue reading Where I’m From

Where I’m From

My Boring Life

My boring life is oh, so dull. Nothing interesting at all. Slaying dragons isn’t fun And casting spells is kind of dumb. Fighting monsters in the dark? No, that’s not cool at all. Bring zombies from the dead? No, I did that yesterday. Make some alligator soup? No, that’s something I can’t do. Maybe I should save the world? No, that’s something way too dull. Make an army of a million ghosts? No, I already have one of those. Pull a sword from a stone? No, I’ve already done that one. Now you see my life’s so dull. Nothing interesting … Continue reading My Boring Life

Book

Knowledge is the key to a room and the lock is a book. Turn into it and you’ll be hooked forever. The clean fresh smell of . . . paper. The one book you take a glimpse at is the part you can’t take your eyes off it. Flip flip flip flip flip I’m zooming like as fast as lightning speed and nothing can stop me . . . . . . . . . and then I stop. I check the clock . . . time flies when you’re reading like playing video games. So tip top tip top … Continue reading Book

Dance

Dance is soaring through the air like a bird coming out of your cage free to live. Free to twist and turn in anyway you can, dance is a second language for emotions, and life. Not caring what other people think of you, you can’t see or hear them with the steps you do over and over again, ringing in your head. The life you bring onto the floor. Seeing more dance. Continue reading Dance

Calculator

A little metal toy Is smarter than you It knows what 4,029 x 3,124 is It can do that in a second Calculators are cool If you have it There goes the hard work of doing it on paper Just put in those numbers It’s easy as pie 0123456789 Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Decimals Percentage, and exponents But it can only go so high before it says error The terror of seeing a error is scary That … Continue reading Calculator

Art, Thank You

Art is relaxing, I always do it. When I’m bored, I grab my pencil and I start sketching. On the sketchbook my relatives bought me. “What should I draw?” I thought. “A flower would be nice.” When I pick up my pencil, the pencil dances across the sketchbook. My career is art. And I’m also made up of art. Continue reading Art, Thank You
