A Bad Hair Day

I shut my eyes.

“ I feel… weird,” I thought

I turned around.

I opened my eyes.

"Ahhh! A Mohawk!”

A Bird

By MSSu10

A bird flies through the sky.

Birds are big and small.

My favorite bird is a bluejay.

A Deep Pain

By KBa07

“Open you mouth wide.”

“Wider!”

My hands are twitching

Desperately.

I know what’s going to happen.

Dr. Doom grabs the novacain and

Gently puts a dab an my five teeth.

“It’s going to hurt.”

He reaches for the tooth forceps

And finds a good angle.

Blood comes gushing out of my

Mouth.

The only thing I scream is

“OW!!!

A Trip to the Beach

By LTDa09

Feeling the sun on my back.

Making a sand castle.

The waves are pulling me to the sea.

Splashing around in the green blue

Water.

Seeing colorful fish under water.

Packing to go home.

Knowing that I will come back again.

Birds

By MK109

Blue with white and black, ,

They can fly but I can’t,

Sharp beaks

Striped and wavy patturns.

Circles on their bellies, ,

Eating cherries, flowers and fish,

I saw red-bellied robins

Picking up worms in the grass,

I wish all the birds liked me.

Book Incident

By PACo09

After the day with the book incident,

No one dared to touch the horrifying,

Blood thirsty, bad-stenched,

Miserable,, radiant, big, killer, horror maker, ,

Fairy tale book with Goldi… Oh, it’s just too scary

To tell you that character.

So, I’ll tell you these characters: Fleshplumpeater, bone crusher,

Child chewer, and blood bottler.

So, the girl that said, “Pishaw” (That means I can take it.)

Was never heard from again.

I’m not going to tell you the rest

Of the story because it will make you

Not go to sleep for a month!

Well, that’s all folks!

Cameras

By BTJo09

Today I was eating boiled eggs for breakfast.

The day was bad enough already,

But the cameras were coming to the school today.

I'ts the worst time of the year for me.

The good thing is that we have two subjects right before pictures.

So I have some time before it’s time.

They told me to say “Red Sox”

But I couldn’t.

That is why I don’t like school pictures.

Cole Brook

By JLPh07

Cole Brook was a three day two night camp.

We got to stay in bunks. I got the top bunk. There was

A lounge. The teachers stayed in bunks too. There

Was a dining hall and a playing field. The dining hall

Had lots of good food including a salas bar. We played

Field games like tag and red light green light on the

Field. We went there on buses. The camp was on a lake

And there was a mountain in the background. We made

Botany bandanas. We went on a walk with Mrs. Gluck

And collected leaves. Then we painted them and

Printed them on bandanas. We went to the other

Side of the lake. We walked there. There was an eighty

Foot slide that was green and a mini farm. There was

Also a room with a climbing wall that went all the way

We had a snake man come and he brought a lot of

Snakes. I got to hold the constrictor. I learned that

Bird lady come in too. She brought in an eagle. It was a

Golden eagle. She also had two owls. Dr. K told a scary

Then I repelled down. We learned camp songs about

Muffins, a moose and a valley. There were also some

Skits that the councelors put on. I loved it at Cole

Brook and I hope I can go back.

Color and Cold

By DRBe10

Leaves frozen to the ground.

Different colors all around.

Smell the wood burning in the fireplace.

Listen to the geese flying over head.

Taste the pear apple cider…YUM,YUM.

I am cold but my heart is filled with warmth.

Crazy

By MTCa12

Crazy as can be.

I don’t know why I’m going so crazy.

Out of control like a piece of meat.

I’m don’t know why you and me are so good at it.

Downcast

By MKMe09

I’m not happy.

I’m not glad.

I’m feeling gloom.

I’m feeling bad.

So if you don’t actually make me grin,

That would be great.

But if you cannot,

That is just fine.

I’ll just sit in a pit.

I’ll sit in it for days,

For months,

Even a year.

Just sit in this pit.

All alone.

All alone.

Evil Doctor

By  JAGo09

Gives medicine that tastes terrible

A potion of leaves and grass and dirty water

Hurts you when he checks your reflexes

Breaks your bone with a hammer

Checks my throat and sticks the Q-tip so far down

That my eyes water like a waterfall

Inspects my ears and pushes a stick so far

That it damages my ear drum

Operates on my ear and puts in a ruined ear tube

Has a giant beard, white hair and a gigantic nose

Wears a white lab coat

Broke both hhis arms and legs

Can’t be a doctor ever again

Evil Stupid Homework

You have bad breath and you drool everywhere.

You are out of control when you drag your owner

By your leash and you skin up their knees.

You smell up the house and poop in my yard.

You chase me up the tree and then bark at me obnoxiously.

You gross people out with your unwanted licking.

I, on the other hand, am cute and cuddly.

I have the most pleasant little meow you have ever heard.

Sincerely,

Miss Kitty

Something Slimy in the Water

By TJCa09

I never like him; I never will.

I cross my fingers and hope to live.

One, two, three – like a snap!

I got stung!

He’s a Jelly Fish.

But, where is he?

Is he next to me, in front of me?

Ouch!

He got me again.

Squeaky Springs

By TJCa09

The squeaking of rusty, metal springs

When my brother jumps on the bed at night.

I try to cover my ears with my pillow,

I can hear it, squeak, squeak.

I go under my blue, green, yellow and red blanket;

I can stsill hear it.

So I leave the room.

Finally, the noise has stopped.

I go to my mom and dad’s room

And sleep there for the night.

Tattle Tale

By JPLo09

There once was a boy in my preschool class.

His name was Tyler Rics.

He was a big tattle tale.

He would always tell on me and always say,

“Mrs. Fisher, Jessica won’t stop being mean to me and stop

Playing with Paige.”

But Mrs. Fisher always thought that I was a sweet little girl and

She would know that my best friend was Paige.

So she would put him in time-out and Paige and I would never stop

Playing with Jessicca and Jordan. And when Tyler Rics got out of

The time-out he would come up to me and choke me when Mrs.

Fisher wasn’t looking.

The Bad Wizard

By TJCa09

Once there was a wizard who was good.

But one day he was doing some spells.

Then someone came to see him

And on purpose he zapped him!

Then another person came in and he saw what happened.

The wizard saw him and zapped him too.

Everyone ran away as soon as they saw him.

The principal saw him zapping people,

So he took out his wand and zapped him.

The Killer Storm

By JMBa07

Crashing raindrops were banging against the

Car, and it made me think back to the time when

I forgot my mom’s shoes at the beach. We were

Down near the water and it started to thunder and

Lightning so we had to get out of there fast and my

Mom asked me to get everyone’s shoes and I

Forgot hers. While we were zooming down the

Road I saw branches falling off the oaks.

My mom got scared so she told me and my

Brothers to say a prayer. Just when we started to

Say it we saw a tree fall in the distance.

CRASH! So we turned the car around because

We couldn’t get by the tree. Then we looked for

A nearby house because the lightning was so

Fierce it shook the car. We got to one and asked

To go in. THEY WERE TOTALLY STRANGERS.

They asked us if we wanted anything and I said,

“Can I have a juice box”? Their names

Were George and Mary Mcbob. They were so

Nice that they let us stay there and watch T.V.

While we were watching T.V. we heard a loud

BOOM! We looked outside and saw a giant tree

Had fallen near our car. We gasped in relief that it

Didn’t hit our car. We sat down and watched

Cartoons on the T.V. with my mom and brothers

Until the sky cleared up. We drove for two hours

And finally ended up at our doorstep.

The Night Sky

By RDDo09

A black

Blanket

Covering the

Heavens.

The stars are

The holes in the

Big black

Blanket.

Let the light

Shine through.

Let the light shine

Through.

The School Bully

By ARWi09

I go to school on my bike

And see my friend and the school bully.

I speed up toward them.

When I get near, I notice they are fighting.

So I speed up more.

I go past the crowd and stop right in front of the school bully

And tell him to stop.

He does not.

He keeps pestering my friend.

So I start going on my bike

And go to the nearest door

And jump off my bike

And go to the door.

I go to the nearest teacher and tell them all about it.

The bully is suspended for two months.

The Water Path

By JWKr09

Water running,

That long narrow water path.

A one foot deep path.

Waves one inch high.

See through water.

Like a calm row-boat gliding in the water.

Stream.

The Wood

By: KEMa07

Brown on both,

Green on the wood’s

Lower sky made by the

Trees.

Some of both descends

To the soft,

Mossy floor.

The sky peeks in through

The leaves,

Left by the

Wood,

With no useful purpose.

So it tries no more,

To join

Green and brown,

Dirt and grass,

Bark and leaves.

Animals scurry through

The tall,

Wild grass.

The birds all crow,

They fly in the

Sky.

So they crow

Stronger

Than before.

Squirrels jump and descend,

Climb and nibble.

They’re always up

To these antics.

Owls are precise,

Not random like

The roll of dice.

They’re always perched

On a branch,

No more irritable

Than a skunk.

The leaves

Sometimes

Are not in

the mood,

To battle the clouds

Back in the sky.

The clouds are

Prepared,

For this precious

Moment.

So they jump on

In and make a

Fog.

Next time you seem

in the wood,

Remember

To realize.

That not just the

Animals,

And you are

Alive.

This is Just to Say

Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle

By JMJu09

And off the tree.

It just won’t stay in one spot.

To wait for the snow ride.

Right inside.

Yellow

By GKKn12

Yellow is my favorite color.
