Two-Voice Poem

The soft wind The tornado gust

Blew in my hair Threw me down

It cooled me off It was howling around

With the gentle breeze The strong breeze

There was a man

He had a pan 

He hit the fly then died so he ran

TWO VOICE POEM 

I love the cold                               I love the heat

It tickles my nose                         It bites my toes

It never goes away                       It stays around all day

It’s my favorite season                 It’s my favorite season


BELIEVE IN THE DEVIL

I wouldn’t

I couldn't

I shouldn't

Try that


I won’t 

I don’t 

Try that


It would be bad

It would be sad

To try that 


Believe in the Lord

Although he doesn’t drive

a Ford

To try that


To believe in the Devil

I’d be a rebel

To try that  


HAIKU

Icy clouds up above

There once was a young man with a sword,

He used it to cut a long cord,

Then all the lights went out,

Then everyone's eyes were so sore

Summer is the best season, Summer is very bad,

Ceyla

Free Verse

Blowing through the air,

this sight is really quite rare.

Through the woods they ran,

as fast as they possibly can.

Exploring they did, with no care.


Acrostic

Rain trickled down upon my feet.

As the sky cried I let out a sigh.

I stayed outside, while my friends inside

Not looking towards the downside.


Haiku

Out came the bright sun.

I ran out onto the lawn.

I love this a ton.

The Lord is With Me - Free Verse 

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

The Lord is with me.

As I’m alone in the night,

The Lord is with me.

When I am sad and lonely,

The Lord is with me.

As I fear the evil ones,

The Lord is with me.

As I tremble and fall, yet

The Lord is with me. 


Waterfalls - Haiku 

Flowy and silent

The Small Girl - Limerick 

There was a small girl who was eight

She climbed up a big piece of cake

She ate as she went 

She tried to repent

But the cake was too good of a bait



Caleb

Free Verse

The Lord 

the Lord himself

while my sins are stacked up

He swipes them off of my heart 

he loves

loves the worst in me

he makes me rich

when I am poor 

I’m the wander 

nobody opens the door

            

But your son

your only son

who you sacrificed on the cross

just so I wouldn’t be lost

that grave could never hold him

it tried 

but it was to weak

he took us out from the jail

the jail of the devil



Limerick


Once there was a very bad teacher

a not nice limerick preacher

he made the class smell 

also broke the school bell

But you had to wait.


Limerick

You see that man how unlucky

Well but you are very lucky

“Here comes May!”

Ready to come play

But she is very very yucky


Free Verse

I can feel the hate

But lets make things straight

You need to go to bed

Before you become very red

I know you are mad

But this is making me sad

So listen and get up and to the room 

Before I smack you with a broom

GOD

The ultimate creator

Does more than a favor

He made you and me

He makes blind eye see 

The miraculous of God

He's a promise keeper

Not a sleeper

It took 7 days

Never complains 

The perfect master 

Not a slacker

The only, The true

The amazing GOD 




DOGS

The nice fluffy things

Never not happy

Always excited to see you

more than just a dog

Haiku-  

Spring


 Warm and cool at once 

Stars in the sky glistening

Summer is coming 

     




Free verse-

He loved me

and died for me

He saved me with love

but he tested me to show his love

I worship him

with every breath and limb

the art of his creation was to keep it

and to clean it



two-voice poem-

     Spring                                          laughter with friends

the strars glistening in the sky         campfires showing the glow inn everyone’s faces

The firefly’s glistening in the moonlight     hear the cool wind   

warm in morning with life                    with the small breeze

cool at night with life                          playing sports among your friends

Emotion poem


 Happy

Happy is like the yellow color of a baby chick

Happiness happens when you are with good friends 

It sounds like laughter 

And smells like spring 

Happy 




Sonnet Poem


Spring,so lovely and bright with flowers light

The spring is so sunny and warm 

The pollen in the air blinding my sight 

The bright flowers in pleasant swarms


Ducks yellow and playful by the rivers 

The animals so happy and joyful 

The sunlight under the trees are only in slivers 

The bunnies jumping so very skillful 


The sun coming down like streams of gold

The river running by splashing on rocks 

The long grass so green luscious and very bold 

Animals all over they are as soft as socks


Nature all around trees growing up

Birds tweeting very loud like a baby pup   


 



Biblical style Poem



Sadness is like raining but not the pretty kind the sad one 

The droplets falling down slowly 

People walking with their dark umbrellas 

So sad and depressing 

Puddles forming and splashing as they grow

Even the trees are sad and gloomy 

The cars that go past so slowly and sad 

Not one child out playing 

The sky gray and dead 

The sun not to be found anywhere 

The grass being flooded 

No birds anywhere so no happy songs 

The droplets slide down the windows 

Kids sadly sitting in their classrooms 

The children drifting into thought

The rain falling down on the sad world

Biblical Poem

My prayer

Your ways O Lord are right 

I wish to serve you all my life.

The wicked are not serving you

They are like a man walking on ice who slips.

Your ways give me grip on slippery ground.

When evil men oppress me I turn to you O Lord.

You protect me when fire comes around me

Your ways O Lord are covering me like a roof over my head.

When I disobey you Lord I long to be forgiven by you O Lord my God.

My wicked ways must be blown away from your presence.

The wicked Lordare not for you, but against you at war with you; my great God.

Your ways give me hope in you, you are amazing.

Decrease the ways of those who do not trust in your name. 

Thank you O Lord for hearing my prayer

Amen.


Sonnet

Coming to the Father

Walking through this jail guards around me

leading me to my grave walking still walking the door

that takes me away to my Lord my savior Jesus Christ.

I don’t know how I got here to deserve this saving grace.

The door is in view. My fate in your hand Lord.

Forgive me for I am not going to hell 

since I am at the door I see the grave

this life won’t give me satisfaction

Death is what I need.

You forgave me. I am coming to you now.

Wait for me God I am coming to you now.

Your Son gave me this chance. I open the door.

I see you God now my life is full.

Praise be to the Father forever more.


Emotion Poem

Anger

It smells like rotten milk on a hot day.

It taste like Monkey Brain

It sounds like Outdoor Warning system

It feels like lava boiling over

It looks like Anger from Inside Out when he is angry

Anger makes me angry.



Blackout Poem


Anyone who saw what Royce Lewis did last postseason might be surprised to know that he feels he could have done more. Anyone who’s shared a clubhouse with him for five minutes wouldn’t expect any less.

“Do more” is what Lewis has built his brand around. The first overall selection of the 2017 Draft made his MLB debut at age 22 and was a household name during the ’23 postseason just one year later. Between those goalposts, the way he pushed to resume more activity each day toward the end of his second right ACL rehab made it very obvious that Lewis does not like to remain idle.

“I’d rather strike out four times in a game,” he quipped toward the end of that rehab, “than sit here and watch everyone hit.”

Lewis finished 0-for-2 in Saturday’s Grapefruit League opener against the Pirates during Minnesota’s 5-3 win at Lee Health Sports Complex. He didn’t have any defensive opportunities at third base in his four innings, but none of that mattered as much as being on the field again healthy, with no restrictions and staring down a full season.

“He ultimately handled [the rehab process] very well,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “It leads some guys into real challenging spots where they have to work their way out of these things before they can … actually take the field. And when they get back, they’re still dealing with the injuries and the mental side of it. He was able to shake that off so quickly.

“I think that was probably one of the most impressive parts of his season last year.”

It’s remarkable to think that in six years, Lewis transitioned from a fresh-faced prospect soaking up his first big league camp to thoughtful 24-year-old starter hungry to show what he can do with 162 games. The evolution is that much more impressive considering he lost one year to the COVID-19 pandemic and most of two others to a pair of right ACL surgeries.

While Lewis has dazzled in a small dose, the reality is that if not for a spate of bad luck, Twins nation could have seen a lot more of him a lot sooner. And so even though he’s sure to take time to recognize what he’s overcome and all he’s accomplished, Lewis knows that this is no time to coast.

“It's a hard game, and you have to be so focused and stay refined,” he said.If you don't feel like you have anything to prove or you get too cocky, this game will humble you and take you right out. I want to be in this game as long as I can. And with that being said, I’m going to work as hard as I possibly can.”

The ocean is a beautiful place to be

The ocean shimmers like a diamond stone.

The ocean of many colors swirl about.

The waves sing like a beautiful blue bird.

The deep water holds many secrets.

The secrets it holds will never be found.

The water reflects like a shattered mirror.

The hidden life brings wandering thoughts.

The reflection of the sun blinds many,

So don't forget to look past the surface.

I really really don't want to be in class

The teacher stands in front yapping 

My head is spinning with words

I don't know what to write 

I just right words down

Hoping to pass

Tears fall

Going to school is like going to jail.

Sometimes it is fun but sometimes it’s not.

Everyday you get a lot of homework.

It is like taking your school to your house.

You most likely never get time for fun.

I wish I could go home and just relax.

English and science and history all

They all have their days with no fun at all.

I want to go home with no studying.

But unfortunately that’s not the case.

To drive away so far.

And stay away if she may.

The Chiefs are trash at the start of the year

The NFL is certainly scripted

Travis Kelce starts dating Talor Swift

The NFL is certainly scripted

The Chiefs make the playoffs for no reason

The NFL is certainly scripted

The Chiefs win the Super Bowl very “luckily”

The NFL is certainly scripted

The temperature outside is cold.

It sometimes can be enjoyable,

But it really is not it’s awful,

Then after that I went home.

Sonnet


Nature is such a beautiful place

But school is like Bowsers scary castle

Going to school is just disastrous

Dead brains everywhere school is a hassle

Outside at recess is just like a cell

Fences everywhere and guards patrolling

They give us breaks but then we hear the bell

The guards escort us to torturing

On we go through those black medieval doors 

We enter class with a feeling that's sad

At the end of the class we all have spores

Making us all turn from sad to mad

We continue to go throughout the year

We are getting prepared for more tears



Hate (Emotion Poem)


Hate smells like a volcano that is full of smoke

It tastes of spoiled milk

And sounds like a siren going off

It feels like a rough rock that you want to throw

It looks like lava coming after you



Biblical Style of "Rhyme"


Poetry is such a disgrace,

It eats up your tiny brain.

Crumpling you love

For this class.

You stare into a blank paper

Like a blank book.

Trying to think makes your brain empty

An empty head ready to be dead.

Taking the eraser and

Making the words disappear.

Soccer is so much better.

I just do and don’t have to think.

All sports in fact

Are easier to understand than poetry.

Take me out of this class,

Or I might scream in pain!

Elias
