Imagine This<br />
A fat pig with a wig<br />
Who had a really big fig<br />
His wig got wet<br />
He got upset<br />
He rolled down a hill<br />
Then ate a sleeping pill<br />
He met a monkey named Bill<br />
That had a friend named<br />
Phil<br />
The pig coughed up the pill<br />
Then went back up the hill<br />
Then Phil ate the pill<br />
Pizza<br />
Johnny<br />
I like pizza because<br />
it is my favorite<br />
food.<br />
Pizza, you look like a<br />
rectangle,<br />
You smell good,<br />
You feel good in my<br />
mouth,<br />
Pizza reminds me of<br />
hard stuff,<br />
I like pizza because<br />
it is good<br />
Pizza<br />
Mason<br />
Pizza looks like a triangle.<br />
Pizza smells good.<br />
Pizza feels good in my mouth.<br />
You remind me of hard and soft food.<br />
I really like pizza because it is really<br />
good.<br />

The Bear With Hair<br />
By Victoria Knoll<br />
Can you imagine..<br />
a bear<br />
who loved his hair<br />
If you pulled his hair<br />
He won’t care<br />
One day he combed it and it all came<br />
out<br />
Then he did nothing but pout, pout,<br />
pout<br />
Now he’s sad<br />
Because his hair looks bad<br />
But it’s his fault for being a bear<br />
Who loved his hair?<br />

Why I Didn’t Clean My Room<br />
Elise<br />
I didn’t clean my room<br />
and my mom will ask me why<br />
I could tell her that the mika spitere was<br />
attacking my room<br />
I could also tell her that the mollon was in my<br />
room too<br />
I could tell her there was an evil cowa and it<br />
mooed and scared me away.<br />
I guess I’ll tell the plain old truth, or at least<br />
I guess I’ll try<br />
I didn’t clean my room<br />
‘cause I forgot—that’s why.<br />

Video Game<br />
Kadin<br />
I go into a XBOX 360<br />
I feel so sad when you scratch me<br />
I feel so happy when you play with me<br />
I would like to change my system<br />
Play with me, and do not scratch me!<br />
Why I Didn’t Clean My Room<br />
Jacob Boone<br />
I didn’t clean my room<br />
and my mom will ask me why.<br />
I could tell her the Milka Spider<br />
attacked my room and slobbered<br />
I could tell her the beegdoo bird laid<br />
eggs.<br />
I could tell her Moogaboo the pig said<br />
oinky oink and scared me out of my<br />
skin.<br />
I guess I’ll tell the plain old truth,<br />
Or at least I guess I’ll try<br />
I didn’t clean my room<br />
‘cause I forgot—that’s why.
Five Senses<br />

The ocean is blue<br />
It tastes like salt<br />
It sounds like crashing waves<br />
It smells like dead fish<br />
It looks endless<br />
It makes me feel excited<br />
What To Do On a Playground<br />
Bob Carey<br />
Try to catch the soaring ball.<br />
Try not to let people tag you.<br />
Feel the air on the swings.<br />
Go very fast down the swings.<br />
Those are some of the things that<br />
you<br />
can do on the playground.<br />
Someday<br />
Gabi Saladino<br />
<strong>Poetry</strong> <strong>Anthology</strong><br />
Someday I will stop the bullying<br />
Someday I will not become a bystander and I will take<br />
action<br />
Someday I will give aid to the helpless and stand by<br />
the weak<br />
Someday I will give water to the thirsty<br />
Someday I will give water to the thirsty<br />
Someday I will give food to the hungry<br />
Someday I will give shelter to the poor and homeless<br />
Someday I will help...<br />
...That someday is Today<br />
Players skate for it<br />
Fans wait for it<br />

People read it<br />
We all need it<br />

I like that stuff.<br />

Things That Can Fly<br />
Ross McKee<br />
Things that can fly<br />
--Birds, gently soaring<br />
-- Planes, loudly roaring<br />
--Leaves, zooming up and down<br />
--Dust, in little tornados, spinning round<br />
--Clouds, that float effortlessly<br />
--Insects, buzzing busily<br />
--Our Dreams, floating dreamily
Pizza looks like a<br />
triangle and<br />
It could also be round.<br />
My food can smell<br />
sausey and cheesey<br />
It can squishy in my<br />
mouth<br />
It can remind me of<br />
other foods<br />
I like this food because<br />
it is good!<br />
-Sarah-<br />
I keep your lunch cold all<br />
morning.<br />
I feel sad when you eat all of<br />
my food without warning.<br />
I feel happy when you take me<br />
home after school,<br />
And pack me again, so I’m full!<br />

I Don’t Understand<br />
Anna McSweeney<br />
I don’t understand<br />
Why people fight<br />
Why people play jokes<br />
Why we cannot be<br />
perfect<br />
But most of all<br />
Why we curse<br />
Why we exercise<br />
Why we can’t solve<br />
mysteries<br />
What I understand most<br />
is<br />
Why we eat<br />
Why we sleep<br />
Why we have different<br />
names<br />
Why we have each other<br />

CAN YOU IMAGINE...<br />
Meg Hughes<br />
A heart with no love<br />
a tree with no dove<br />
A boy with no heart<br />
a girl that just part<br />
An arcade with no game<br />
a city full of blame<br />
A vet with no tool<br />
a ghost with no ghoul<br />
A theater with no<br />
screening<br />
me without you<br />
is a life with no meaning<br />

Flip, flip, flip.<br />
Take the covers off you.<br />
Step, step, step.<br />
Get out of bed and get your clothes on you.<br />
Eat, eat, eat.<br />
Eat your delicious breakfast and drink your milk.<br />
Brush, brush, brush.<br />
Brush your teeth really well for two minutes for nice, pretty, healthy, shiny<br />
teeth.
<strong>Poetry</strong> <strong>Anthology</strong><br />
I am a lunch box.<br />
This is what I do:<br />
I keep your lunch cold,<br />
I feel sad when you eat your lunch,<br />
I feel happy when you take me home,<br />
I would change my design to peace signs if I<br />
could,<br />
I would tell my owner to keep me clean,<br />
and not to sing me around,<br />
AND to fill me up AGAIN!<br />
-Aleisha-<br />
John Rocco Kanzales<br />
I used to believe in Santa Claus,<br />
but now I know he is my parents.<br />
I know that is them because they told me.<br />
Also I saw them wrapping my presents.<br />
I used to believe in the tooth fairy,<br />
but know I don’t because she is my parents.<br />
I know this because a quarter is too heavy for her.<br />
Also my parents told me.<br />
I used to believe in the Easter Bunny,<br />
but he is fake.<br />
I know this because a bunny can’t go around the<br />
world in one night.<br />
Also my doors are locked.<br />
When I was young I believed everything<br />
now that I’m older I use more common sense<br />
like can reindeer fly?<br />
There are many different terms on<br />
it<br />
Models get perms on it<br />
Hair<br />
I like that stuff.<br />
Children roam on it<br />
Oceans foam on it<br />
Sand<br />
I like that stuff.<br />
You can organize books in it<br />
Teachers often take looks in it<br />
Desks<br />
I like that stuff.<br />

<strong>Poetry</strong> <strong>Anthology</strong><br />
I used to believe in the tooth fairy,<br />
but now I believe that she is fake.<br />
Fairies aren’t real, my mother told me.<br />
My mother confessed right to my face.<br />
I used to believe in the Easter bunny,<br />
but now he is long gone in my brain.<br />
I found what I got for Easter in my mother’s<br />
closet.<br />
And my grandmother has a shop full of our<br />
presents<br />
I used to believe in monsters,<br />
but now they are scared of me.<br />
I check my closet for 3 years.<br />
My mother told everything.<br />
I used to believe in a lot of things,<br />
but now I see clearly that most are made up and<br />
not really.<br />
I have a new beginning.<br />

Good girl Maggy<br />

I can’t write this poem<br />

I really don’t want<br />
Just kill me if I have to<br />
The Mad Baseball Bat<br />
By: Josh Finamore<br />
I am a baseball bat,<br />
I am made to hit the ball,<br />
I feel sad when I hit a homerun,<br />
I feel happy when you strike out,<br />
I would like to change to a baseball glove,<br />
I would tell my owner to “Send me back to<br />
the store and get a glove, Kid!”<br />
So I can rest on the rack!
Just Because<br />
By: Cameron Wolf<br />
<strong>Poetry</strong> <strong>Anthology</strong><br />
Just because I’m the youngest<br />
Don’t think you can always make fun of me<br />
Don’t laugh at me behind my back just to<br />
have a laugh<br />
Still ask me to play I might want to<br />
Just because I’m the youngest<br />
Doesn’t mean I can’t be the best<br />
Don’t think I’m the worst either<br />
Don’t think you can’t make me do my best<br />
Just because I’m the youngest<br />
Don’t think I’m the most stupid<br />
Don’t think I’m the most fragile<br />
I’m not a crybaby<br />
Just because I’m the youngest accept me<br />
for who I am.<br />

Why I Don’t Understand<br />
By Nicole Jackson<br />
I don’t understand<br />
Why we have homework<br />
Why there are 12 months in a year<br />
Why there are 7 days in a week<br />
But most of all<br />
Why people are scared of things<br />
Why students give their teachers<br />
apples<br />
Why math is hard<br />
What I understand most is<br />
Why there is night and day<br />
Why sugar is sweet<br />
Why the stars shine
Miracles<br />
By Sidney Persuit<br />
• Clouds, the delicate, perfect and<br />
puffiness<br />
• Sunrise, when the sky starts to turn a<br />
light blue from the new sun<br />
• Giggles, a soft laugh that turns into a<br />
real laugh<br />
• Full Moon, a beautiful giant moon<br />
meaning love<br />
• Friends, playful and passionate<br />
• Trees and leaves, the brown branches<br />
on the trees lonely without a<br />
friend until spring comes and the<br />
leaves come to play<br />
• Bald Eagle, above my head, soaring<br />
through the sky, the mama bird<br />
comforts her babies<br />
• Footprints, leaving behind something<br />
from me that tells I was here<br />
• Freedom, being able to do whatever I<br />
please<br />
Imagination, think whatever I want and<br />
create an idea that can change the<br />
world<br />

Just Because I am Small<br />
By: Amy Wilson<br />
Just because I am small<br />
Doesn’t mean I am not tough<br />
Doesn’t mean I can’t help out<br />
Still ask me nicely<br />
Just because I am small<br />
I am not a midget<br />
I am not dumb<br />
I am not slow<br />
Just because I am small<br />
I know I am Amy<br />
I can’t get that wrong<br />
I am not mean<br />
Just because I am small -- you<br />
can’t hurt me.

Work<br />

I took of work today<br />
I am too sick<br />
I’m not dressed<br />
My clothes are not dry<br />
I am too tired<br />
I have to pay bills<br />

It’s our anniversary<br />
I’m not awake<br />
But why<br />
I’m eating breakfast<br />
You are going to work<br />

I Didn’t Take the Bus Home<br />
<strong>Poetry</strong> <strong>Anthology</strong><br />
I didn’t take the bus home and my mom will ask me<br />
why.<br />
I could say that the acsence was making us write<br />
sentences.<br />
Or that I was busy throwing the xfelox of the<br />
crabby canyon.<br />
Or that I was using the fluzzy puff<br />
I guess I’ll tell the plain old truth or at least I’ll<br />
try.<br />
I didn’t ride the bus home because I forgot--<br />
that’s why.<br />

Thoughts of a Chair<br />
You are always sitting on me<br />
and it really stinks under there.<br />
You always push me into a desk<br />
or a table and you choke me and<br />
it makes me try to ask for help.<br />
It makes me feel sad when you<br />
step on my feet,<br />
but it is really fun when the<br />
kids go out to recess ‘cause us<br />
chairs have a party<br />

And when you leave,<br />
I sing and eat chips.<br />

Books<br />
You stuff me with<br />
words and pictures.<br />
Thanks for all that information!<br />
Though sometimes it makes me sore<br />
to hold all this stuff!<br />
I used to me empty<br />
and I felt sad.<br />
Sometimes I don’t like to be used!<br />
You bend my pages!<br />
And all that ruckus you cause
Can You Imagine...<br />
A world without crime<br />
A ship without grime<br />
A school of just recess<br />
Japan with no excess<br />
A life without trees<br />
Food of just peas<br />
The world with no flight<br />
A pirahna with no bite<br />
If the oceans weren’t<br />
blue<br />
A swamp without goo<br />
A world full of glass<br />
A creek with no bass<br />
A house made of gold<br />
Where weakness is bold<br />
A salt lake with no salt<br />
If nothing was your fault<br />
IT WOULD BE WEIRD!!!<br />
-Shane Hale<br />

He hurt me<br />
I hurt him<br />

He waved his hand in front of my face<br />
We got a wet cloth so we’d feel better<br />
He waved his hand in front of my face<br />
We got a wet cloth so we’d feel better<br />
We recovered<br />

Lightning<br />
Jeevan Pillar<br />
Lightning streaks across<br />
The sky like a running<br />
Cheetah.<br />
It strikes trees, scaring<br />
People out of their<br />
Skin.<br />
Starts in the sky,<br />
Down to the ground<br />
With a tremendous impact<br />
Then disappears without<br />
A trace.<br />

It makes me feel loved.

Why, Who Makes Much of a Miracle?<br />
Smith Johnson<br />
The weather is a miracle because it is cold in March.<br />
Or the lights are a miracle because they let people see in the dark.<br />
Or the sun because when it sets you see it outside.<br />
Or Jackson missing the pail because he would have hurt himself,<br />
Or the shelf because it holds all the books,<br />
And books because they let you learn,<br />
Or the clock because it lets us know what time it is.<br />
