He gave me some good and some bad news
but he was saddened when he spoke,
he said I’m going to be gone awile
but I’ll come back soon.
The next morning around five
I heard some noise, it was him getting ready,
that’s when I remembered he had to go.
He gave me a kiss good bye
then he was on his way.
My dad’s coming home soon!- Amanda

Blind Poetry-Cris A.
May 22nd, 2007 by mshipley1 in Uncategorized · 4 Comments
The sky is green
The grass is blue
just like me
and just like you.
The ocean is brown
tree trunks are blue
and a cow goes meow
like a cat goes moo.
The moon is bright yellow
the sun is bright white
I wish I could see it
I hear it’s a beautiful sight
After you read this you may think I’m dumb
I’m not dumb I am kind
But I should have told you one thing
I am blind.
What I Miss- Dorian

I miss my dad
My life is bad
He lives far away
I really want to see him today
We had some good times
When we ate some limes
When we went swimming in the ocean
I forgot to put on some lotion
My legs were so red they looked like tomatoes
When my legs usually lokked like potatoes
When we went home
I got an ice cream cone
When the day turned to night
I turned off my light
The next day i moved to New York
Where people called me a dork
California is the place I want to be
So that my friends and I can climb our same old tree
I also wish I could leave
So that I can see my same ol’ leaves.
The Mayan Ruins – Maya
May 22nd, 2007 by mshipley2 in Couplet Poems · 7 Comments
The Mayan Ruins we’re going to see
Mom, dad, my brother, sister and me.
We will climb up big hills and old stairs.
Hopefully not through mountains with bears.
Down and right across the river,
My knees are starting to quiver.
As we get on the hand controlled ferry,
Under the trees filled with big bright red berries.
I see a giant iguana on a tree.
Next to it a bumble bee, waiting to flee.
We have fianlly reached the Mayan Ruins.
Guess its time to explore.
Who Am I? – D.C.

Sometimes it is yellow
It looks like a big curvy finger
You can peel it and eat it
You can find me on a platter
I’m sometimes big and small
Who Am I?
Where Would I Be? – Elsa

Where Would I Be?
Where would I be without the Sun in the sky?
Where would I be without the clouds in the sky?
Where would I be without paint on a picture?
Where would I be without a rainbow in the sky near the Sun and the clouds?
Where would I be?
MY BABY SISTER-FAVIO
May 22nd, 2007 by mshipley2 in Uncategorized · 7 Comments
Even though she’s a month old
And I’m 11 years old
It feels as if I was getting bold
I like it when she smiles
I don’t like it when she cries
It makes me want to die.
I can imagine when she is big
Fighting and laughing
Crying and smiling.
Even though we’ll fight
You’ll still be my baby sister.
My Brother- Steven

I love my brother
he’s like no other
he makes me happy
but he is very nappy.
We always fight
and he beats me because of height.
He likes to argue
but I just ignore
and he still adored.
He is very strong
but nothing went wrong.
My brothers a section champ
who caught a cramp.
Dennis, his middle name is Mennis.
Dennis is a wrestler who puts
his clothes in a dresser.
Dennis is very tough
so we like to play rough.
Dennis also plays football
a very, very rough sport.
That’s why he’s the captain.
and I say to myself what’s happening.

My head in the sky.
Feet in the grass.
My arms swing in the wind.
Who am I?

I can be small
I may or may not bite
I have a tail
I eat a certain food
I like to play
What am I?
