By Ryan Denman

idea by Dr. Gen

 

Xortaur is a fatty

He eats with no manners.

He is given name is Patty.

And he creates banner.

 

 

 

The Beach

By Emilija Stojanovic

 

My favorite place,

my second home.

The place where all my worries disappear,

and everything seems fine.

 

The waves crashing,

The summer heat burning in my skin.

The soft sand through my fingers.

 

Either day or night,

whether I'm in the water or looking up at the dark sky, 

It's where you can find me.

 

The soft breeze blowing,

they salty smell going through the air.

The cold water, cooling me off.

 

With each new day that passes,

my patience grows weaker,

counting down the days,

until that first day of summer.

 

 

 

Flowers

By Nicole Bartels

 

One day a little girl was walking home from school.

She didn't have any confidence and thought she was un-cool.

The little girl didn't have a very good day.

She really liked this boy but didn't know what to say.

 

Today the boy had flowers.

When the little girl saw them she began to feel sour.

She knew he must have bought them for another girl.

The little girl really wanted to hurl.

 

As the girl was walking, she started to cry.

Then, from behind her she heard a voice say "Hi".

The little boy smiled and handed the flowers to her.

He said "Will you go out with me?" and she smiled and said "Sure".

 

 

Poetry in Motion

By Carolina Paredes

 

Just let the music take you,

In the way it makes you.

Feel suspended whenever you leave the floor,

Just so happy to be able to soar.

 

Like an angel, such a glossy swirl;

Just so you can be capable to twirl.

From a very nimbly pirouette,

Into a wonderful swirling silhouette.

 

High on Pointe, muscles stiff in your toes,

Just so you can maintain and make your pose.

With your body sculpted, statuesque

To make a beautiful arabesque.

 

It’s hard to be poetry in motion,

Especially with disciplined devotion.

To create a thing of beauty and romance,

In my opinion is to dance!

 

 

 

About You

By: Keira De Nicola

 

 

An emptiness still lingers in my heart,

Memories of you come flooding back, back from the start.

Why can’t I just move on?

You are still first on my mind when I wake up at dawn.

 

I tell myself no, I’m not going to fall,

Yet sometimes inside me I feel this burning call.

A call to you, and you alone,

I sometimes feel the need to phone.

 

Then I catch myself, myself in my own lap,

I remind myself that there’s no going back.

The heartbreaks you gave me multiple times,

Tore my heart into pieces as small as dimes.

 

Things will never be the same,

You’re still playing your same ‘ol game.

You were my first love, not gonna lie,

Yet, moving on may include a sigh.

 

I guess we just weren’t meant to be,

Yet my heart is hurt, can’t you see?

Sometimes I wish we were still together, then other times I don’t,

Get hurt again, baby, this time I won’t.

 

Life is going by so fast, its passing me by,

I keep holding on to our memories not wanting to say goodbye….

 

The Sky’s Miracles

Lauren Farello

 

A blanket of warmth spreads over me,

This blackened July night,

Silence my only companion,

As I gaze peacefully up from the green lushness

At the silver glitter in the softly

Sprinkled night sky

 

The vast and unending city

Explodes with life and possibilities

As I close my eyes

And yearn to reach out and grab

The unbroken promises and

The endless opportunities

 

If only I could stretch a bit farther,

If only I could climb a little higher,

Then everything would somehow

Be okay and no one would suffer

 

I want to be like them

The ones filled with unspoken power,

The things everyone puts their trust into,

When one travels and disappears in the sky-

The ones filled with confidence

And no fear in their eyes

 

But now I realize that only

Those treasured pieces of gold

Can be that full of bravery and life

 

So here they are:

They will wait like an anticipating mother,

For that special human soul

To close those flowers that we call eyes

And put their faith in the miracles

 

So now, all you have to do is watch.

Watch them change your life,

Like they did to mine. 

 

 

 

If I Won the Lottery

By Jesse Humphries

If I won the huge lottery

There’s a lot I would do,

But it would not be bright pottery.

Let me give you a clue.

A big, modern house would be nice.

And many expensive, fast cars.

No worries about the high price,

I could fly to the Moon or Mars.

But it’s not all for me,

There would be millions to share,

To divide with my family,

With still some to spare.

Cancer, the poor, clean air, and pets.

I would donate to these.

Pay off family debts,

And in Israel, plant trees.

Of course this is a fantasy

That I hope will come true.

If I win the lottery,

My new life will debut.

The Internet

By Max Mendoza

 

Click, click, click

You’re in

What’s there to do in this place anyway?

Play games, buy anything, and, draw

Sell anything, communicate, and watch

What is this?

Someone wants me to buy that?

I don’t need any of this

Why are these closing in on me?

Get out of my way

Let me play this game

What can I do now?

I am going to draw a picture

This place is pretty addicting and fun

I am coming back here more often

 

 

 

 

 

Popularity

By, Timothy Nunez

 

 

Everyone wants to be the popular one.

But what does popular mean?

Popularity is just being well known by others.

 

There is bad popularity and good popularity.

Would you want to be well known as the kid who picks his nose,

or the kid who gets bad grades?

 

Do you want to be known as the suck-up,

or the mean kid,

or the kid who lies?

 

So you have to ask yourself these questions.

Do you want popularity that badly?

If so, who do you want to be well known as?

 

 

The Galapagos

By Sophie Leahy

 

The animals, plants, and people

All so unique and cultured

You'd think tey's open a steeple

 

How can a place be so stunning

That you and your family

Would never take off running

 

This is one of my favorite places on Earth

A place so great

That it doesn't have worth

 

It's a place that changed me

And the way I think

To be so in touch wit nature

That you can't sleep a wink

 

 I Don't Want To

By: kaitlyn Hafdell

 

I do not want to clean my room

I cannot close the door;

Theres so much junk pilled here and there

I cannot see the floor.

 

I do not want to cut the grass

It's almost one fot high;

And the weeds are so abundant

I just don't want them to die.

 

I do not want to do my work!

Have I got that clear to you?

I'll get it done some other day

Have I got that through?

 

 The Big Game

By Nikolas Kessler

 

The big game that you have been for,

You have been preparing for this your whole life,

This game you play, will be played like a war,

The pressure is so sharp; it feels sharper than a knife.

 

Everyone has been counting on you,

And you can't let them down,

You know what has to be done; you know what you have gone through,

This is the time to represent your town.

 

The only thing that matters right now,

You don't want to taste the defeat or shame,

Winning the glory is the only thing you will allow,

This is your time to walk on to the field; it's time for the big game.

Hot summer days

Cruising the streets

Pushing wood

on the streets of LA

 

Near collisions with cars

Running from the cops

This is how I spend

My long summer days

 

Sunburns

Roadburns

And lots of fun with your buddies

This is how i spend my summer days

 

Come home

the airconditionings on

I pass out.

This is how i spend my summer days.

 

Wake up at 12 AM

Walk out the front door

meet up

Skate

this is how i spend my summer nights.

 

 

Cruising

By Julia Rappaport

 

Cruising is a time of fun

    A time to start something new

 

Relaxing in the sun

    Or swimming in the pool

Unique experiences lead the way of

    You vacation of fun

 

In a floating city

    Things you may never expect possible.

Sailing the seas

    While surfing or rock climbing onboard.

 

Interesting new people

    To meet on this floating city

Nothing surprises the crew

    They know what they have to do.

 

Great experiences

    On this trip of a lifetime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Summertime by Valerie Fernandez

 

It comes so fast,

yet comes so slow.

Once it has passed,

only memories can flow.

 

 

The cold lemonades

in sun warmed rooms,

my long hair in braids,

no time for the brooms.

 

Long days at the beach,

tanned cinnamon skin,

so slurred is your speach,

when you get to sleep in.

 

 

Wish so hard it could last,

but you know it will end,

look back, you had a blast,

with that one special friend.

 

Television

by Brandon Goodreau

 

The television is an American way of life

Everybody owns one and watches it frequently

On the Tv

There are many different types of shows

At any one time you can watch

A movie, a play

A soap opera, a drama

Sports or even music videos

Parents always talk about the three TV channels they had

Now there are thousands with many different things

Television can change peoples opinions on many different things

Some people believe everything they see on Tv

And the shows convey opinions that everyone then believes

I sometimes wonder to Tv producers control the country
