Blew in my hair Threw me down
It cooled me off It was howling around
With the gentle breeze The strong breeze

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
Like a diamond glistening
Wind cools me down quick

There once was a young man with a sword,

Summer is the best season, Summer is very bad,

Summer is my favorite Summer is the worst

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
Waterfalls are pretty

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

Rain
The rain hits the grate
It annoyed you with all hate
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.

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,
It is not fun to have,
You have to scoop,
It is so cold,
Just is there,
It bores,
Bye.

I went to the mall and got,
A shirt,
A purse,
A pair of shoes,

A package of earrings,
A jersey for my game,
And a wallet to put in my new purse,
Then after that I went home.

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
