Jaclyn's Ballad

Ballad: Greener World
By: Jaclyn Parris

Honey, Honey

Back away from that sea gull!

But he is tangled in a bag

Couldn’t anyone be a bit helpful?

Dear, Dear

Watch out for that rusty can!

Why is there so much garbage?

The world is not a trash can

Child, Child

That is not a shell,

That is an old bottle cap

But how can you tell?

Mommy, Mommy

Let’s go swim

No the water is not clean

The ocean is polluted and grim

Mother, Mother

All over the beach land

Are piles of glass

And tall castles of filthy sand

Uh Oh, can we not see?

The beach is covered in trash

Our world is so bad

 It’s just a big garbage patch 

Riley's Ballad

Dear Mr.President,
I'm in love and ready to tie the knot
Had each other's back for 10 years
Through the many wars that have been fought

She saved me from my personal hell
Four years of bullies and humiliation
But she was always there for me
Her strength was my salvation

I want to be married to my angel
But we're having some difficulty, see
It's not legal where we live
Here in the land of the "free"

We have not the time nor the money
To fly to a better state
But why should we have to?
Why is my happiness still up for debate?

I find the main cause is religion
Because the Bible says we're "not right"
But why is any form of love wrong?
I don't understand this sleight

Dear Mr.President,
Has the government forgotten this quote
"life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"?
Or is Lady Liberty really so remote?

I am proud to live in this country
But the lawmakers have no business
With whom I choose to spend my life
They should just care I have found happiness

My last point, Mr.President
Is our marriage will never hurt anyone
It will simply give us joy
And our new life will have begun

That is why I ask you
to end our days in Purgatory
Mr.President, I ask of you
To end these laws and become nondiscrimitory

Robin

The walk of death


Dark summer morning, walking through the forest.
Not feeling comfortable is an usual thing .
She got bullied for years in school.
She never felt like a king.


Coldness going downwards her back,
She sees the black wall of fear coming towards her,
Noises behind her make her even more scared.
It sounds like a crazy drummer.


She wants to run away,
A boy suddenly holds her tight,
Another in front of her has a knife.
She only wants to see the bright light.


Bullied for years, can't endure it anymore
She always wants to cry
They hated her for no reason.
One short question in her head. WHY?


Pain, deep in her breast.
Everything was black,
That's what she wanted her life to be,
Now she can't go back.


She is in heaven
And she doesn't care
Suffering ended
At a better place she is now and loves it there.

Ballad - Freedom - Ruben

 

 

 

Free choice, free life

 

Think the man as he speaks to his wife

 

I see no war, no crime

 

No death by a knife

 

 

 

It has been like this

 

Since the year 2030

 

Penalties rose, crimes dropped

 

Thats when the government became dirty

 

 

 

The streets can be walked

 

With no worries having a stranger talk

 

No worries, no fears, no danger

 

So we just continue to walk

 

 

 

 

Houses can be left unlocked

 

Without worries of having an intruder

 

No Need for extra safety

 

Its already there, there wont be a murder

Ballad

When I was little,

Mama was a perfect lady.

Cooking, cleaning, always telling me

That I acted a little crazy.

When I was little,

I didn't want to be grow up to be

Anything like her.

I yearned to be free.

Free of oppression,

Free of blatant inequality,

Free of the stereotypes

Free to create a new equality.

When I was older,

I grew up to be a businesswoman,

Which isn't an easy task,

When your college professor is a sexist human.

Now I walked through the office,

Cause you're paying me less,

You're a real sexist pig,

And I deserve a raise.

I do the job better than men,

I deserve to be paid like 'em!

This is the 60's,

Women are no longer precious gems!

Why thank you sir.

Yes that is a fine raise.

Thank you for seeing things

my way; this is the highest praise.

BOSS BEATEN UP.

Ballad - Ladina Brunner

Two distressed parents,
The tap tap tap of their shoes on the waiting room floor
Doctor comes out out, clipboard in hand and says
Your daughter has lost the war

It's a brain tumor,
Been festering since she was little
She has a year at most
I know the truth can be brittle

But it's too soon!
Her life has barely started
Only thirteen years, after thirteen years
Our dear child departed!

I'm so sorry
I wish there was a cure
These things can happen
Let me tell you something, if you're unsure

You are her family,
Have been from the start
So make her life amazing
Before you have to part

And so the girl lived, really lived
For her last year
Spending her time
With the ones she held dear

Her last words
She said with a smile
Thank you so much
For going the extra mile

I have truly lived
Though my life has been short
You can let me go now
And i'm happy to report

It's all because of you
Though I can't live any longer
And you'll be alone
I know this will make you stronger

It's cold
Fading into black
Her parents are weeping
She's not coming back

Beneath the grey sky
Parents in front of a tombstone
Kissed by a single ray of light
She's smiling down from above, on her golden throne

Kai Ohlig- Social Security

"Help me! Help me!

I'm getting attacked!"

But no one wants to see

No one wants to be deadly danger-ed 

No one wants to die

while trying helping

though be free

and not bothered

by murderers

"Help me! Help me!"

Those cries are getting worse

Why isn't no one helping?

Wouldn't people feel remorse?

'Cause those people are afraid!

They'd be in danger too

That's why they don't run for aid

They'd rather quickly move

ON

BOOM! Now it's too late

Blown away is the screaming persons head

Murdurers have found together

for no real reason

and just shot a person

Wondering why people move on?

Not really, right?

'CAUSE OF MURDERERS

THOSE people should run

THEY'RE bad losers

WHOM randomly go for people

WITH A GUN

Ballad

The sun is shinning and the ground is dusty,

A child is working on a field,

His name is junior Scott,

Against the mighty sun he has no shield,

Working every day and night all the time,

He want to go to school every day,

Education is one of the human right,

But his parents can’t pay,

Hungry !, Hungry ! he is after work is done,

But they have not much to eat,

His body full with dirt

he comes home and the only thing he wants is sleep,

Ja he wants to go to school like us,

Writing an reading he wants to learn,

His father never went to school,

He would be the first who more money earns,

Ballad! - Devarsh Shah

Coach, coach,
I need to ask you,
why doesn't this country give 
equal importance in sports to you?

Coach, coach,
I want to play Basketball 
and make it my career
and I'm really good in Basketball.

Playing Basketball 
in this country with a flow,
is like licking 
your own elbow.

If you really want to make 
basketball as a career.
Then you shift to a country 
where you can play with cheer.

Less Money!
No shifting
Had to forget dream.
Left sport.
Did something else!

Animal rights
by Caroline Werner

The elephant is in his freedom
Living the life he deserves, wild awake
But then she leaves her safe area
To get her needs right at the lake.

Her enemies where already waiting,
waiting for her to come into the committee field
It does`t need more then three seconds
And the elephant lies motionless there, just for yield.

Her baby stands there behind the bushes,
totally distraught
unaware of what to do
Now all alone and on his own, but not caught

She wanted to defend herself
She wanted to fight
But they are in the superior number
Nothing to conceal her, cause there is no right 

The gun which targets
the big, wonderful elephant
.... boooom!
How I thought, the hunters are so arrogant

The hunters have no respect
They cut the ivory
"We want the ivory, we want the ivory!"
Like she is just an object to take money out, like every.

The elephant lies there, dead
The ivory got cut
She got short changed for money
And all what is left
is her dead body
caused of the shut

Hey baby comes near her,
He is clueless and disturbed
He falls into mourning
If he could talk, he could not even say a word

His thought ; "But, how should I go on?"
Where is the right?!
No matter what
I need to fight"

Ballad: Verena

Father, oh father, she wonders.
How is your new Family?
Are they similar
to me and abbey?

Mother, oh mother, she thinks.
How do you see me true?
Don't even answer
I can tell you!

I'm the extra weight of Money
that prevents you from buying
that new Gucci bag.
Thanks for breaking my string!

You don't even love me.
The only one you love is yourself
and your Money.
My only Family now is a Bookshelf.

A week later
after the letter was written
The press stated:
DEPRESSED GIRL SHOOTS HERSELF

-Verena Scharzfischer

Ballad - Shaira Berg

The children ask today,

Really? Women had no rights?

The children will ask tomorrow

Really? Gay people had no fight?

The children share their respect,

Really? Black people were discriminated?

They begin to see the harm that was once done,

Really? People simply sat and waited?

The young boy roamed the hallways,

People yelled and made him cry,

Gay! you say you are, gay!

He would sit and gaze upon the sky

The young boy roamed the hallways,

Scars on his young arms,

Tears dried on his face,

And whispers in his palms.

The young boy roamed the hallways,

Pencils hit his head,

He faded into depression,

But there was nothing he every said.

The young boy roamed the hallways,

In a form unlike his own,

His feet drifted twenty feet,

And he looked from heaven down.

Nuclear war-Cédric Hyafil

Cédric Hyafil

"Nuclear Winter Has Come...."(Bethesda)

In the devasted lands of Vegas,
Lived two young men.
their lifes were happy,
Before a bomb fell on them,the Fatman

Looking for food,
Trying to survive.
Always walking with thousand of different weaponss
In the hot and barren desert of Mojave...

Everything is because of the reds,
Those filthy communists attacked Nevada
They killed our family for honor !
Вы коммунист сука, да !

They had no friends,they were solitary,
They were walking alone.
One day,they say a little kid who was dying.
They did not help him,they stole his phone.

Once when the shiny night came,
they even find a geko.
Which was more than 2 meter long
They ate it though....

Sometimes in the dark,
they look at the shiny moon.
They wan't to visit it,
But they can not,it is not their doom.
   

When they saw a plane, they cried,
Their lifes are hard right ?
They made a fire,
Before being blinded by a white light...

Ballad - Caroline van Winkel

Earth is Warming

"Earth is warming" says the paper

Let's enjoy life now we have it

Warmer summers, that sounds great!

Earth is warming, they won't admit

"Earth is warming" says the paper

Oh no lets prevent that

Heavier storms, that's not good!

Earth is warming, they don't want that

Global warming causes storms

Let's build something to prevent

Our houses from collapsing

Earth is warming, they don't comprehend

Global warming must not occur

Sustainable products will be made

An abundance of money spent

Earth is warming, but it will fade

Global warming is the culprit

for most of the deceased

And 45 degrees is a bit too hot

Earth is warming, they're no longer pleased

                                           Teenagers, the youth what do we do
                                        We want them to learn, they are the future

                                         They believe we will learn to continue 
                                            Their path of being interacted in 
                                        something they do not even know about

Do you know what happened next?
We were feeling so free
My feelings have just been on a Rollercoaster
But I always knew, giving up is not the key

Juli! Juli! Cross it! Cross it!
is what Emilio was shouting
I lifted my head, running like a cheetah
kicking the ball across, watching, while falling

On my knees spectating the umbelievable
Last second Goal to tie the game
Coming back and stepping up to win
Oh man, for the other it must be a shame

Renua - Balled

My Name is Dylan
I am only four
My Daddy never used
to hit me before

Lady, Lady
I Need some ice
He punched me in the eye
It was not very nice

Excuse me, excuse me
I freeze with fright
As the door SLAMS
I fear the pain that awaits me tonight

While he shouts in my face
Youre such a waste
he kicks my knee
with a look of distaste

"Im sorry" I scream
As he balls up his fists
Grabbing me by my wrists
He is daring me to resist

I know its my fault
for not being what he wants
If he found me perfect
He would not subject me to his taunt

Nobody listens
Nobody cares
Im just a child
Messing in their affairs

BOY AGED 4
FOUND DEAD ON THE STREET
FATHER OF BOY MISSING SINCE JUNE

What should I feel?



It was a pretty summers day,
I met this very beautiful boy.
In his eyes I found my way,
He was more than just a dumb toy.

He was the reason for my smile.
More of sadness than happiness.
His job made him go for a while
Needed to keep my classiness.

Lips, so soft like a white feather,
He'll always  be the one for me,
Why I don't mind such bad weather.
The first kiss while sitting on a tree.

His eyes were shining like diamonds,
How I miss those beautiful moments.

Love sonnet

The boy that i lost 

Remember the day my world fell apart

My big love just left without a good-bye.

The only thing to remember him, art.

Wen he panted, the time just passed by.

Wen he was smiling, he's eyes were shining,

I m really mad, why did he just left? It s sad

I kill hem, I m just a human being.

My dear reader, please don't think i am bad!

The killing? Sarcasm, to understand.

I liked him a lot, he was my boy

And the worst part was in the end 

For me, this one guy was more than a toy!

He will always have a place in my heart,

If I m honest, i kept he's lovely art.

Could my love be reciprocated soon?

Could the luxury of your lipe be mine?

From the dusk of dawn til the dark of noon,

My mind if filled with how bright you shine;

 

Sealed lids cannot hide the beauty of your,

Forever will you be within my heart,

All I wish is for our love to be true,

Cease looking at girls like pieces of art;

 

Begin to look for who you have around,

Your search needn't end before me,

I wish I could hear the delightful sound,

Of you reproaching me to never flee;

 

I know that this is nothing but a dream,

That will end in a long sorrowful stream.

Sonnet_Kai Ohlig

So hard it is to discribe love

But let me take a truthful try

It is a topic that's so tuff

But also might pass smoothly by

It represents my family

With much major disadvantages

However noever hating thee

Whom still feed me their great courage

And represents the brave people

Protecting those they won't give up

Watching them like eager eagles

Protecting they would never stop

     The love are people that you see

     and ev'ry day want with to be

Sonnet Poem

            As I walk through the streets 

I see others showing love

I look up and see a dove

I miss the feeling of having someone

beside me through the tough times and boredom

But who knows I might find someone 

sooner or later on in life

Or perhaps in the future a wife

One that can make me smile whenever

support me and be there for me

I breathe heavily feeling lonely

as I walk down the streets having no company that shares

the same feelings I have for them

There will be someone soon but when?

Love is most important dont draw away from the ones

you care or you will experience a feeling like no other

Ladina Brunner Sonnet

Gay Love

Why can't love be equal for everyone?

People love each other no matter what

A grandfather despising his grandson

So many people keeping their mouths shut

People are hurt for loving who they want

Living a lie to fit into the crowd

Furious but appearing nonchalant

Teens feeling like they are being plowed

People say gay love is not natural

But they can't make decisions for others

Humans are pure, just being factual

Every child should be loved by their mother

Loving others unconditionally, 

oh what a better place the world would be

Sonnet
by Caroline W

There was this little girl upon a time
Me sitting in the corner all alone
And a cute boy, which has always been mine
What is left for me is just the friend zone
That little girl which has ones been my best friend
Got really selfish and left me behind
Now with`my` boy, when is this ganna` end?
That happy feeling of love made her blind
Also love has to stop one day
And when she has realized her big mistake
She came over to me and has sad "hey"
For a boy it is not worth to forsake
The girl promised me to never let go
My hope came true, that`s what she did so

Devarsh Shah's Sonnet

Sonnet

                                   - Devarsh Shah

The question is do you believe in love?

Even though you have to face lot of things,

and those things aren't mentioned above.

It is even better to take the beatings.

Feeling of affection is actually love

and we think it is always positive.

It is not what it means by love,

it is sometimes also negative.

Negative is not something wrong.

It is about give and take.

Even though it is not strong.

We should try not to make it fake.

So as long as we live
we should learn to love.

Sonnet
Richard Matalewski

Love is like the summer time,

Like smelling the fresh air on a winter day,

Love you can feel every time,

Like butterflies in may,

Love can found any where,

it is inside every one,

Love is in the air

you can see it at the smiling sun,

The world is now  full with colors,

All make now anymore no sense,

For her you can spend a thousand dollars,

you can’t controls your emotions, escaping makes no sense,

Love is the best thing that can happen to you,

Look in her eyes so wonderful and blue.

Sonnet - Caroline van Winkel

Unchosen love

I love you although I did not choose to

You loved me before I was in your arms

Why did I emf up also loving you?

Oh dear brother, you welcomed me so warm

At times I was mad at you, others not

You forced me to cook while you played your games

Said: "I'm older" when I suddenly got

The TV remote, and you also called me names

Three years difference, and now you're away

You are alone in the fright'ning city

Surviving on your own every day

I know you oh so well, like ABC 

I lived, laughed, and cried with you, my brother

You, you are a brother like no other

Sonnet - Shaira Berg

Sonnet

The roses whispered as I walked outside.

The petals curled with a sudden delight.

I walk around simply want to decide,

What makes you so happy without the spite?

The cold autumn air chills me to the bone,

My feet elevate me from ground to sky,

Without you by my side I feel alone,

I breathe very swiftly wanting to cry.

You used to make my whole heart a fight,

And never believed what was really true,

Between what is wrong and what made it right,

And I declare I was falling for you.

I long for your arms to reach out to me,

I long for you to finally see.

Cédric Hyafil-Sonnet

I would love to have in my plate,an egg,
There could be some delicious pink bacon,
I really want it,I might even beg
Please do not act like a giant moron !

Awesome,my nice egg will soon be ready,
I take my plate,I take my enormous fork,
I might give it a name:Why not Cersy?
I will also do my dance, called rolfyork

It would be perfect,be so nice,
Oh my god it is almost like a dream,
It would be better with a coca-ice
Wow this awesome little egg weights 1 gram

It was good,really good,extremely good
Sometimes I fall in love with my own -

Riley's Sonnet

Love inspires our imagination
Why does a simple chemical do this?
We search for it with determination
If a love fails, the heart is an abyss
I cannot count the poems, books, and songs
Where the main topic is love. It seems though
If one does not care, they do not belong
Everyone would like thier own Romeo
The reason everyone is addicted
Is because love brings out the best in us
Those in love have their perspectives shifted
And are much happier, which is a plus
Being in love can make both people grow
And the effects are like a domino

Sonnet- Billie Tyrell

Always and forever, those words i will always treasure.

The love in my eyes, does it still show? 

You broke me up, you crushed me down

the reason why, i do not know

and now you left me always facedown.

I am so insecure without you,
what will I do, where will I go?
how I function without you, i have no clue
the last time i saw you was so long ago.

I tend to smile over my so deep pain 

you understood me so dam wrong

"O" how much I wish i could refrain

because these days without you go by so tragically long.

You kept me safe by hugging me tight 

You were my inspiration and the reason of my motion.

but now i lost you out of my sight.

and on my face there is no emotion.

Boy i do not lie, you broke my heart in every way

where are you know now?

Sonnet AL

Sonnet - Ambre
Reality will burn the angels wings.
It bites so innocence leaves.
Enter high school: Here's your label.
Some will steal you happiness like a thief
Promised a Prince, deception she'll get.
She'll have to get hurt. All trial and error.
Scars on her skin she'll try to forget.
Mobs shouting, guns in hand what a terror.
The monsters under her bed aren't as eerie
The monsters in her mind aren't as forgiving.
do not fret, some moments will be cheery.
So enjoy them and try reliving them
all that will be thrown at you, you can take
Just don't forget to smile for heaven's sake

Sonnet-Verena

Sonnet-

by Verena Schwarzfischer

 

Why did you have to leave me in this place?

Only left with a memory of you,

All alone I am standing here with grace

Wishing you a very good journey, adieu

 

I can't believe that they took you so fast,

Trapped I am inside this golden bottle,

My wounds aren't closed even if time has passed

Hiding my inner wishes to throttle.

 I want to reverse the hourglass badly,

But there is nothing which can bring you back,

So i have to except the past sadly,

Which is impossible through the flashbacks

 

My deartest emerlad, i love you so

We will be back together by the snow

 

Renua Raje / Sonnet

I feel as though i will love you to death
I will not give up, i will stand by you
Up until you take your very last breath
Though i hope that is not what it comes to

When the doctor told me the truth i cried
The idea of you gone hurt so bad
When i went to talk to you, you denied
I was hard for me not to be very sad

Life without you would be so very hard
Who will make me laugh, who will make me smile
I will miss our walks down the boulevard
I want what we went through to be worthwhile

Life without you will never be the same
You can live through this that is my main aim

Jaclyn Parris - Sonnet

Sonnet

By Jaclyn Parris

Shall I behold a glimmering stone heart?

You act as harsh as a white swan

But still I admire you as pure art

Longing for your cold eyes to gaze upon

Waiting for our bold stares to align

Your voice as pure as a string symphony

Gently speaking from your cruel tainted mind

Evading my hearts euphony for thee

You are beastly to overlook this love

I cannot bear to stand this misery

You would fit with me like a woolen glove

But I know you do not agree with me

We will never be an adoring pair

So my deep love we cannot ever share

Julian Pohl


Sonnet Poem

Now she has left me all alone in tears
Deep pain and injustice runs through my head
I am lost without her and full of fears
"Leave me alone Bastard" is all she said
I know I made a teribble mistake
Dark smoke covered my brain and made me blind
Secrecy was easting me up, I´m fake
Though you know to you I was always kind
One mistake of min is the end of us?
Betraying you was a huge shame of me
Your choice if my excuse will be success
My hearth is ripped and sadly again, free
Onto the street on the concrete I kneel

Freedom:

by Caroline W

Freedom is the control or right of being able or allowed to do ,say,think,etc. What every you want to, without being controlled or limited.

But freedom is more then that.

Freedom is the view in Canada, 

when you see nothing then pure nature for kilometers 

Freedom is the fresh air,

you smell in the mountains

Freedom is doing what you want not what your parents want

like a rabble.

Freedom is wearing what you want, no matter what others think

Freedom is having no rules 

so being out after eleven, even though  your not sixteen.

Freedom doing the things which make you happy

like playing with a puppy on a sunshine day

Isn`t freedom the best par of live ? 

Freedom


Freedom is laughing with friends on holiday at the beach.

Freedom is coming back to you parents house whenever you want and they welcome you with opened arms.

Freedom is watching a horror-movie even if your parents aren't at home and you are to young for it.

Freedom is running away from home but you had the food and the drink you need on the kitchentable.

Freedom is choosing to which weird people on this planet you want to talk to.

Freedom is seeing birds flying away in groups up in the sky and you know they'll come back in a year.

Freedom is doing all the little things you always dreamed about and nobody can hold you back.

Freedom is an old couple with grey hair, sitting on a bench in front of a small lake and watching the ducks eating bread.

Freedom is going away the moment you think about going abroad and just leave all the things, friends and family behind you.

Freedom is being free.

Definition Poem

Peace is freedom from the desterbants, tranquillity
But peace is more than that
Peace is sunshine in the blue sky
Isn't peace helping someone
Who just felt on his knees
Peace is no war in the world
Peace is hugging a friend
After they have been accepted to university
peace is when you sit in your room
while you listen to music
and don't have any homework to worry about
peace is sitting with you family on a couch
and watch TV for one night with no shouting
peace is a long ride the thoughts of life left behind in the grass
peace is waking up and hearing a bird singing a soft melody for you
peace is sitting on the roof
listening of the steady sound of cars rush by
and the pitter patter of rain
like the worlds heart is beating

Definition Poem - Kimberly

Hate is to dislike instenely or passionaltely.
But hate is more than that.

Hate is seeing someone felt on his knees
and not helping him up.
Hate is laughing at someone,
oly because he walks like a crepled duck.

Hate is seeing a young man getting robed
and ignoring him.
Hate is to seperate from
other coltures

Hate is to destroy
anothers person material
Hate is the sound of the fist
smatching on the checkbone.

Isn't hate disrespecting?

Julian Pohl

Connotation Poem, Suspense

Suspense is pöeasurable exitement and anticipation,
But Suspense is more than that.
Suspense is when you stomp your feet
automatically, without even noticing.
Suspense is when you blend out the whole world
arround you and only focus on that one interest.
Suspense is when your heart is
louder than your breath.
Suspense is your hands scratching of your hand
and your hangnail starts to bleed.
Suspense is shivering loudly in bed.
Suspense is when you can´t stop
the task your are doing until its finished.
Suspense is when you want to
know the truth immediately.
Can you even handle the truth?

Definition Poem - Caroline van Winkel

Normal

Normal is conforming to a standard,

Usual, typical, or expected,

But normal is much more than that:

Normal is shaking like a leaf

When trying to speak in public,

But also screaming when you see

Lightening, spiders, harrowing heights,

And also dark black nights.

Normal is following the leader,

Doing what they force you to,

But also to bang your face against the table,

Because you didn't keep in touch,

Or because you worked too much.

Normal is saying "it will come",

To that what must be done,

But also to postpone,

Payments, doctors, losing weight,

And then doing it too late.

Normal is no insult,

Neither is it strange,

Normal is understandable,

Isn't it OK?

Richard Matalewski Definition Poem

Freedom is the condition of being free restraints,

But freedom is more then that,

Freedom is fresh air when you step out of your home

birds are singing,

Freedom is swimming in the ocean,

Freedom is listen to music all day long,

Drinking a cup of tea inside 

when it is cold,

Freedom is flying around the world in a plane like a bird,

Freedom is that every one has a right for his own religion,

Freedom is when you wear what ever you want

and go where you want,

Isn't Freedom great ?

Ladina Brunner Connotation Poem

Childhood is the state or period of being a child.

But childhood is more than that.

Childhood is...

Pigtails and ruffly skirts

and curly blonde hair

Childhood is going to horseshoe beach

and exploring the mysterious rocks

like i'm trekking up Mount Everest

Childhood is climbing trees

and scraping up my knees on the rough bark

Doing ballet for a week

in my pink tutu

then giving up

Childhood is eating crunchy carrots

straight from the vegetable garden

Childhood is hunting is hunting for colorful eggs on easter

with my bunny basket

Childhood is light up sketchers

and wheeling around in my pink heelys 

Childhood is packing my bags 

and going on vacation in my backyard

Childhood is spending time with my family

and bickering with my brother and sister over nothing

Isn't being a carefree child wonderful?

Connotation of Purity

By Jaclyn Parris 

Purity is the absence of anything harmful,

 Inferior,

And unwanted

But purity is more than that

Purity is remaining

Unaware of

The contents

Behind locked doors

Purity is clean clothing

Folded in a basket

With the fresh smell

Of detergent

Purity is a single

White rose;

The first blossom

Of May

Purity is the natural essence

Of beauty

Like a girl

Without make-up

                                                

Purity is a girl having

A first kiss

Innocently imagining

Her wedding day

Purity is a young smiling man

With his two year old

Daughter on his shoulders

Touring the zoo

Purity is an old man

Purchasing yellow lemonade

From his smiling

Grandchildren

Purity is sitting beneath

The blue sky

Finding abstract animals

In the clouds

Purity is the cool sky

Surrounding the chilly ocean

The evening awaiting

Tossing of the sandy beach

Purity is drinking water

From the source of a surging waterfall

Cascading down the side

 Of an icy mountain

Purity is flat grey pebbles

Lining the bottom

Of the neighborhoods

Bubbling brook

Purity is a rock

Weathered

To finally form

A smooth grey heart

Purity is snacking

On a cheerio necklace

Worn around your neck

For the first day of Kindergarten

Purity is the unmarked territory

Of the sun

Burning to heat the

Ground we walk upon

Purity is the man in the moon

Calling children

To their tidy

 And cozy beds.

Purity is a child dozing off

After read to

From a crease less

Children’s book

Purity is lifting the cover

Of a new book

Breathing in the smell

Of paper and ink

Purity is a young

Giggling boy

Skipping down the street

Gripping his grinning mother’s hand

Purity is giving

A child their first cone

Of creamy vanilla ice cream

And wiping it from their sticky chin

Purity is a playground

Full of children

Closely watched by

Their parents

Purity is easily lost

Why is so quickly lost by bearers

If beholders wish it was theirs

 To treasure?

Friendship: 

Friendship is someone 

you treasure more then gold

Friendship is loyalty by heart,

Someone you can betrothe your secrets too

Friendship is someone 

you can act like an anima with

Friendship is someone 

who understands your pain  

Frendship is someone

who knows you better 

than yourself

Friendship is some 

who is like a brother or sister to you 

Friendship is advice 

given to you when the time is needed

Definition Poem by Verena Schwarzfischer

Definition Poem

 

Loyalty is the quality or state of being loyal

but loyalty is more than that

Loyalty is sticking up for you friend

even if they have plagerised on a math test

 

Loyalty is a dog

defending it's owner against  a thief

It's saving the last Cookie for a friend,

before someone else eats it.

 

Loyalty is helping your friend

through the Diversion of her parents

It's not changing friends,

even if his behind the bars

 

Loyalty is telling your friend

the truth about the gossip,

so that she won't get upset later

 

Loyalty is giving a safety to a Person

so that they can be,

who ever they want to be

 

Isn't having a loyal friend great?

 

 



Family - Riley Jones

Family is

a basic social unit

consisting of parents and their children

considered as a group,

whether living together or not

But family is

so much more

Family is a single mother

a singing her daughter to sleep

every night

Family is a single father

spending hours on a lake dock

fishing pole in hand and a soda on the side

Serenity interrupted by laughter

Family is opening a door

and suddenly having

a furry body jumping at your legs

and feeling like the house is empty and cold

without one there

Family is knowing

someone else's kitchen and house

like the back of your hand

Family is photo after photo

of two first graders

turning into two highschoolers

Family is not talking for six months

and picking back up

like only a day has passed

Family is a girl walking up

to a group at  volleyball tryouts

and asking about Harry Potter

Now I talk to that girl

every day

Family is whispered conversations in the dark

about the future

and the past

and alternate realities

Family is staying up 'til 3am

to watch a piece of history unfold

and wanting to start a revolution after

Family is talking to a stranger

for a good twenty minutes because

I understood that reference

on their shirt

Family doesn't end with blood

Shouldn't family be chosen?
