My Fish

Nicholas Kossman

My fish looked at me gloomy.

His name was Holden.

I thought he was going to sue me.

But he was not golden.

Although I thought this was a joke,

He swirled around and with a swoosh

I gave him a nuzzled poke.

He turned to me, his tail a woosh.

Senior Year

Nicholas Kossman

Every day I wake

One day closer to done.

So many steps to take.

They say this time is so fun.

The time has gone quick,

Four years in a blink.

So what is the next step, Nick?

I don't want to sink.

The world is so large.

It's my future in sight.

It's time to take charge,

For our futures are bright.

I'm not sure where to go from here,

The path after my senior year.

CATS

Drew Harrington

Curious about anything

Always messing with something

Toys are taken and never found again

Sleeping anywhere and everywhere

New Words

Drew Harrington

I decided to make up some new words

like flonk, or scakop, or hankly, or smurred.

My word will be useful and sound really cool,

a word like chindangos, or frasklen, or spewel.

My friends and teachers will all be impressed

to learn that I've made up a word like extrest,

or crondic, or crambly, or squantion, or squank.

Whenever they use it, it is me they'll thank.

Oh, Jimmy!

Blanca Martinez

Oh, Jimmy, what have you done?

Nothing, mom. I was having some fun!

Oh, Jimmy, you broke a bone!

Sorry, mom, I went for a run!

Oh, Jimmy, what will we do?

Don't worry, mom, I'll be all right.

Oh, Jimmy, we should go to doctor, who?

But, mom, we'll be there all night!

Oh, Jimmy, what have you done?

But, mom, I'll be careful next time.

Oh, Jimmy, let's go to bed.

Of course, mom, but let me see your smile.

Revenge

Owen O'Brien

He sank like a stone.

He fought like a soldier.

In the end he would be the one to lose.

But that wouldn't stop him.

Never to give up again.

Motivated to crush the wind of

Who defeated him in battle.

Death was the only way out.

And he will not die.

Jailbird

Owen O'Brien

Run, run, Randy, run like the wind.

Looks like the cops are at him again.

Oh, lord, Randy. Boy has he sinned.

Actin' like his pops did, way back when.

Home stretch, Randy. He might actually win.

Boy robs the bank time and time again.

Hide behind Sandy's. In the trash bin.

Little did that work. They know his kin.

Back off to jail he goes.

Screaming from the car.

"Hey, man, this really blows!"

That boy sure ain't smart.

The Bingewatcher

Owen O'Brien

A somewhat dark room.

The bright light of a neon screen.

Netflix is his friend.

Dreamers

Anacristina Sanchez

Our brown skin has been kissed with the sun's ray

So hard to understand my parents' tongue

Don't want us to stay; they want us away

Immigrant children coming here so young

Dreamers chasing the American Dream

Sending them back to a place they don't know

Those who can stand in the defending team

Escaping the poverty overflow

They're called dreamers but never are at rest

Their hopes and dreams arise above the hate

Their actions can sometimes be second guessed

Their dreams are completed now; they don't wait

They'll never stop until they make their mark

They are not afraid to rise from the dark.

Born a Farmer

Caleb Nolan

I was born by the wheat fields,

Grown straight into a farmer.

Always driving with tractor wheels.

Always farming with my father.

Grown up bailin' hay,

Grown up brush hogging.

Always livin' as I may

Up on the tractor boggin'.

Drilling them beans,

Raking that hay.

What this means?

I'm having a great day!

I was born by the wheat fields,

Grown straight into a farmer.

Always driving with tractor wheels.

Always farming with my father.

Deer Hunting

Caleb Nolan

White tail deer

Stomping through the woods

How are you so loud?

Baking Bagels

Caleb Nolan

The aroma of the baking bagels filled the air.

I can't have one, and it's not fair.

Taken too Soon

Madasen Gans

Dedicated to Kyle Finocchiaro

Your laugh was contagious,

and your smile was amazing.

You were one of a kind

With a heart made of gold.

You made others smile

With your sense of humor.

Your style was ordinary,

But you used to say you were a hippy.

Even if others made fun of you,

you didn't let it bother.

You've made an impact on our school.

You were taken away too soon.

Your journey had just begun.

May your soul rest in peace.

We will miss you always!

World of Wonder

John Cheuvront

I wander around the world for a sight to see.

But I look around the world, and it doesn't please me.

Cold Light

John Cheuvront

A light passes by

But I cannot grab its warmth

I will always be cold

Creep

Truman Inabnit

Out of step low-life

Creeping and crawling with rats

Looking like a mongroid

He watches from the shadows

He's a maniac beware

I Wish Only to Fly

Alec Cordes

A bird I wish to be.

To fly above the trees.

But on a tiny pebble I sit.

Only to throw a fit.

Little dolittle I am no Kittle.

To this world I am a tittle.

Just a chance is all I need.

Maybe if I run at top speed.

The ants would reproach.

But a diamond I approach.

A baseball batted before my eye.

The ball flew as high as the sky.

Top speed may not work.

But this ball gave me a smirk.

Onto the ball I climb.

I will fly in no time.

After the clang of the bat.

In the clouds I sat.

I have finally learned to fly.

But in seconds I will die.
