The Dog Ate My Homework!
Ben Jones,where's your homework?
Teacher,Teacher!The dog ate my homework!
I didn't know you owned a dog?
It got stuck to my prickly hedgehog
Nonsense!Hedgehogs ain't pets
I was sick so Ihad to rest
Class!Let's start the test
The monkey was chasing me to Eiffel Tower
We don't have a jungle or zoo,that's the
major factor
Errr.....I had to sell our tractor?
I need one, can I have a look?
Oh no,.....No!Ilost my book!
Ha ha!Now you can't put me under a trance!
But an ogre invited me to a dance
Let me guess the next excuse,your leg was fractured?
Grizzly,the wicked gnome,had me captured
Ben,I'm getting tired.Are you ending now?
How you recognise my lies,wow!
Thank You!
But I want your homework,now!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Jessica's stylin'. Damian's smilin'. Julie and Kayla G. dance. Nick and Dakota play b-ball. Sarah'shandwriting's, best of all. Then there's Adam and Kate's romance.
Tessa loves horses! Will James have five sources? Jami's without her coat. Thad loves the computer! Could David be any cuter. Will Mrs.Davis ever read what Ashley wrote?
Blair is quick with a guess. Cody loves recess! There's Destiny, who's small but mighty. B.L. loves to learn. The good grades B.P. earns. Will Erics desk ever be tidy?
Timmy likes Nascar. Vince likes Brett Favre. Kayla, she likes to read. Writing? That's Savannah. Talking? That's Deanna. Then there's Mrs.Eagle who meets every need.
So, stop by room ten You'll want to come back again. As for me it's my time to move on But I'll never forget The time that I've spent I can't believe how fast it has gone!

LIFE
Cindy JF Harrison
Full of wonder, full of joy
Full of contentment for one little boy.
He doesn't yet know the things life can do To him life is nice, so fun and so new.
Let's hope he is guarded from all that is bad Leave that image untarnished, so he'll never be sad.
But that's not how life is for it seldom does good To just sit back and hope though we wish that it would.
And even though life may not go as he'll hope Let him find out himself, he'll be able to cope
Just as we have been doing for so many years Hoping life's joys will out number it's tears.

Round and round I go the fast hand that moves by the minute some times slow some times fast, on good days I move fast on bad day I move slow I am a clock.

Farther Away
By:Kelly Coons
I try to fit in,I really do
And I try to make friends with all of you But,I don't even seem to know your names I don't know whether to be worried or ashamed I see you speaking,but the words don't make sense Is something really wrong or is my head just dense?
I no longer even feel part of the human race Everything seems strange and out of place I tried to join in again,I wanted to stay I just never realized...I was only drifting farther away.

GONE
Amy Rankmore-Lamb
I need to know, where have you gone,
technically your still here,
all I know is our friendship is worn,
you have turned cold and I have cried,
you do not know how much I've tried,
you slipping, running, flying away,
I know I can't stop you,
but I still want you to stay,
I thought you would be a friend to the end, But I was wrong once again, I still wish that you are my friend, But I must learn to accept that friendships end, I wish you knew how bad I feel, My regret, my sorrow and my shame, I wish you understood me but you don't.

The waves Roared.
The winds Howled.
The Wolves fed.
The Bats devoured.
The foxes hide.
The Fires stop.
The worlds becomes silent.
For no one knows what to say.
At there own destruction.

There was once a day,
When the trees did not sway,

The Black Laced Sleeve
Stacey
The black laced sleeves
Does it make me think
about becoming her?
The girl that I've wished
to be for a long time?
The girl no one would except,
the kind of person I may
not look but feel?
Why do I wish to become
someone that nobody wants
to know?
For attention, or to show.
To show how I really feel?
But is that the only way?
To wear black laced sleeves?

Wispy
Ryguy
My hamster is a yellow glowing halo on top of an angles head. She squeaks and nibbles on the cage bars. When you feel her whiskers tickling you cheek. She’s like a tiny fuzzy teddy bear that walks around on wood shavings! She may be swift moving like a hare, but other times she’s as slow at a turtle. You feel comforted when her fur is brushing against your face.

The ball comes flying towards me,
Sixty miles per hour
My heart is beating fast
My hands are all sweaty
The ball is right there
I swing the bat as hard as I can
“Its outta her!”
yells the reff.
I sprint to each base
first base,
second base,
third base,
Swoosh!
I slide to home base

Life
~Shannon
The song of life,
The beat of my heart,
The rhythm of my breath,
The tune of my voice,
The words of my thoughts.
Round and Round,
Over and Over,
As the seasons turn,
As the leaves change their color,
and drift down to meet the their friend, Grass, For lunch, My breath slows and comes to a halt, My body will stay where it is but my sprit will live on, Forever.

THE CHEETAH
PAUL CHAPTER
The Cheetah is a glorious creature,
it can run, it can leap, it can bound,
the problem with the cheetah,
is its not a big eater,
which explains why so few can be found!

Decision
Nicola J. Steel
Violence – noticed
On the contrary
Symbolism of ego
Unjustified.
Sliver, slice, not quite
Ornamental uses only
Maybe?
Challenged?
Demonstration required
Unnecessary and immoral
Yet, required.
Courage
Or
– conscience came about.-0-
Rebound
Peter Saba
When the ball is shot,
Get ready and check your blind spot.
Watch out and be on guard,
He is coming in; he is coming in hard.
You jump with all your might,
You think you have it; it’s in your sight.
He snatches it right away,
He takes it without any delay.
He jumps like a spring,
They call him the Rebounding King.

Wind
Trevor Wendt
Gentle or strong.
It’s always there.
Whether we feel it or not.
It’s like our shadow.
It’s always there.
At times it talks all day.
Or howls all night.
Making much noise.
Or no noise at all.
But no matter what,
It’s always there.

I love you every day
As my little piece of heaven
A cute puppy whose white fluffy fur
Blows in the wind
My favorite dog that there is
Cuddles like a tiny teddy bear

Peaceful; birds playing through trees.
Very calm, yes sir-ree!

LOVE'S ESSENCE AND BEAUTY
Mary Carpio
The essence and beauty of love
what every heart searches for
Could never have enough of it
we're always wanting more
The cure for every hurt and pain
we've suffered through the years
Gives us courage and strength
to face our doubts and fears
Brightens up the path in life
where darkness seemed to fill
Takes away our heavy burden
when we walk the rugged hill
Sweet sunshine takes the place
of clouds of worry and dread
Seeds of love begin to grow
and to others they are spread

HAPPY ENDING
Selina
When I was a little girl I was thinking about a happy ending, One with me happily married, And sitting in a room of laughter and gold, The room what does it behold, Everything I could ever want, And internal happiness, Now I'm a teenager, The little girl is no more, These thoughts are now mere dreams, So much for my happy ending.

She hides behind a velvet smile
Bagged anger lies in a darkened closet
Virtual synthetic a lie .. so dramatic
Shes tempted shes crying shes fake and shes nervous A facade A skit with a closing curtain Shes put up with the lies and the life she denied Shoved it away and put it in hiding.
Its coming through her soft milk skin.
Revealing something deep within
A change at hand a life begins
A dead cell shes become
A mirror with no reflection
A drowned out recollection
in a game of memory shes never played
The hands stop time as she holds her eyes
From spilling tarnish and hold it inside
Her beauty painted on a canvas surface
Tells her mind shes pretty in every aspect.
As her music plays and she stares straight blank
At a sheet of mirror she cannot fake
A looking glass as clear as day
She now sees what shes betrayed
Disappointment creeps slides through her veins
and when she wakes.
yes when she wakes.
Oh when this helpless girl awakens
Shell finally
Be free

Dammed Neutrality
Carlie Partridge
The point at which the heads
She'll turn dwindles, funnels into
neutrality, dammed by
A god of beauty's melt
A skull's excruciating paces,
Frozen oval cheeks
Flaking, concentricate as
Narnia accessed via
Two-by-fours, as she oldens
Her mixed politics bayed off by screens, By screens screened into casts, Those archangelic buttresses
Flanking the pillared doors.
Until her edges become
Fibrous
With purity of alert,
Tongues the temperature of ejection
Vanities fixed in the bellows
Of uttered verse, "The miracle is
Extremity of Contrast"
Against which I saw
The daughters of her teeth
Spun out and fossiled
Between sediments of drought,
those times when dust devised
To marry dust,
Part overlain part,
Filligreed bones filling,
Mutant weave weeping.
Grieving in fleeing,
Halt your co-veiling, Ancient
Neural Earth!

The World
Tyler
The world is filled with starving children And it is not humane,
Children should not go through this much pain,
Instead they should laugh and play,
But yet thousands die from starvation a day.

Freedom Asher Webb
We're free to live yet not to vote Free to talk Yet make no note Free to notice Yet not despise Free to be smart but not proven wise Free to give yet not receive Free to destroy yet not conceive Free to be outspoken in a silenced voice Free to discriminate in a darkened eye Free to take a life Yet not to die Is this freedom is this our grand dream For if this is what it is I'd rather not be free.

MY BALLERINA IN AUTUMN
by Marcia Schechinger
I hear wind whisper dancing through trees a cool breezy breath like you ballerina Subtly swaying flowing in pale moonlight, not like a dancer Degas would have painted slim bellied and high on tips of toes Yours is a joyous dance fresh like mist on an autumn leaf weaving, teasing to the music of a crisp fall night with Chardonnay flowing in your veins Methodically you move as wind captures your spirit and floats you into a cool spin of circular nonchalance to a world that only you exist in I watch your form twirl, a swirl of chiffon melt into nothingness And I wonder if Aphrodite is jealous tonight as you capture the stars and hold them captive in your eyes

Do you remember? Do you remember that one day, Where we promised friends for ever? That one time, We said we could tell each other everything? It’s funny when you think about this, When you think about how everyting has an expiry date. I don’t remember ever being told, That something will last forever. Nothing can and nothing will. Life has its beginings, Life has its ends. When something seems to be to good, It usually is; You can only see this when someone shows you. Somethings we force upon ourselves, Like a good friendship. Some friendships were just to obviously fake That it seemed real. We fooled ourselves to believe that everyting was great. Nothing can be great. I don’t believe in anything ever being great. Everyting was a game. A test. We all have our own personal tests. We never know we are testing ourselves, And others. It’s a human thing. Everything we do is a test In some way life itself is a test. Its all about awerness and Endurance.

Breathing in remembrance. Exhaling my regrets. The wind of my desires and hopes makes it hard for me to inhale my dreams. My lungs become full of anxiety and my chest hurts with disappointments. My air stutters its way out with the unsureness of my character. Androgynous anger fills my air way and the escape of aggravation makes me fall to my knees. My silent Hail Mary's can only be heard in my mind. For the breath of there owner is trapped in a cavity full of despair.

WITHOUT YOU...(I wrote this alone,NO help)
BY:Thalia Vivero 11years old
Without you,I'd be nothing
I'd have no one to hold tight.
I'd die without anything to have to love It woild be empty.
My heart would stop beating and
it would shatter into millions of pieces that wouldn't be able to be replaced or put together...
Without you I'd wouldn't have anything.

Cruise Control --Nathan Mordecai and Michaela Brewer
Ranting and raving and flailing his arms, Tom Cruise came to Matt Lauer’s show. He bounced on his ass-- made remarks which were crass, expounding on all that he know.
“How often, Jim Lauer, have I saved the world with a wink and an arrogant smile, as a CIA agent, a brave fighter pilot , or when I shot at that dang pedophile?”
“How many times must l tell you, Tom Cruise, that my name is not Jim, but its Matt? If you again call me Jim with that all-knowing grin, I’ll beat you to death with a bat.”
