HOPE YOU HAVE A PASSION FOR POETRY! I DO. WE CAN SHARE OUR PERSONAL CREATIONS HERE!

I modeled E.E. Cummings style and wrote the following poem.


 * if you can’t play softball you got to by b.k.wargaski**

If you can’t play softball you got to

knit a sweater and we ain’t got nothing to knit: come on mom

let’s go to the movies if you can’t knit you got to

Watch TV and we ain’t got

nothing to watch TV; come on mom let’s go to the movies

if you can’t watch TV you got to play scrabble

Nothing to scrabble, come on mom

let’s go to the movies if you can’t scrabble you got

clean and we ain’t got nothing to clean (come on mom)

Let’s go to the movies

By Hazel Swain
Floppy ears are all I view.

Always flapping by.

Since she's always on the cue,

My dog is on time.

She's never late for anything,

She's almost always early.

Or she's always right on time.

But she's never late for anything,

Especially not a rhyme.

Cover Me
by Jessica Lim

I love the bushes, they cover me. I love my blanket, it covers me. I love disguises, they cover me. I love code names, they cover me. I love the dark, it covers me. I love secrets, they cover me. I love to be undercover. This covers me.

 * Tell me why**

Tell me why the stars do shine Tell me why you are mine Tell me why the sky is blue Tell me why God made me and you

Tell me why we go to school Tell me why the kids call me a fool Tell me why we were born Tell me why we eat corn

Tell me why these things are true And tell me why a bird says "COO!"
