Could I Raise Titanic?

Could I raise Titanic?
Up from the bottom of the Atlantic
Recover its past
This journey will never be my last
Could I raise Titanic?
From the ocean floor
Even though it won’t matter any more
Chat with passengers
Eat in the dining salon
First class if I assume
And if people laugh
Laugh back; who cares
Could I raise Titanic…?
Not Today… I’m still young

Darkness

We all know we have to fight
To bring back all our light
Hold a lucky four leaf clover
The darkness is taking over
Run a mile
To give a smile
Give a wink
Before you even think!

Samantha N. 4M

My Family is like a Farm

My family is like a farm,
My dad is like a cow, He is always snoring and walking up the whole neighborhood.
My mom is like a chicken, she is always making breakfast
My twin brothers are like roosters, they are always waking people up in the morning.
I am like a cat, I am always trying to clean myself
My bunnies are like pigs, they are always making a mess.
My cats are like horses, they are always stinking up the farm
My 20 fish are like ducks, they always need water
My family is like a farm

Liam H. 4M

My Family Poem

My family is like a bunch of bugs,
My sister is like a bee.
She stings and stings and stiiings,
But at other times she’s a butterfly,
Delicate and nice.
My dad is like a spider,
Sneaky and mean.
But, other times he’s an ant,
Always collecting food and really nice.
My mom is like a mosquito,
She bites and buzzes.
She’s also a ladybug,
Generous and nice.
My dog is like a cricket,
Jumping and annoying.
Other times he’s a firefly,
Bright and playful.
I am like a fly,
Flying in your face.
Also, I’m a lightning bug,
Always knowing the way.
Together we’re one Big bug Family.

Julianna W. 4M

Cats and dogs

 Cats
Furry, fun
Pouncing, climbing, cuddling
Lion, Cheetah, wolf, hyena
Running, Jumping, barking
Fluffy, active
Dogs

Jessica S. 4M

Farm

My dad is like a cow he snores and snores all night.
My mom is like a sheep she yells and yells some days.
If she is not yelling she is happy and calm like a cat.
My sister is like a goat
She has such a big mouth.
I am like a cat, calm.
I am also like a pig; I get dirty. 

Jenna G. 4M

Colors

Colors swirl around the world with meanings
Red, means you’re so mad, and you feel like you’re about to explode!
Orange, means you’re shy and you never say a word
Yellow, means you’re so happy that you could bounce off the walls
Green, means you’re really sick, with a 103 temperature
Blue, means you’re really sad about something, and your tears are almost flying off your face
Purple, means you’re calm, and you could play a six hour board game without getting annoyed
Black, means you’re a mean person, and you would bully someone for most of the time
Most colors have different, but important meanings

Jazmine H. 4M

Royal pets

Teala is a queen.
She is pretty, but she has certain rules.
Cloie is a princess.
She prances on her tiny paws gracefully.
Bently is a king.
He snaps back if he doesn’t like what you do.
Shelby is a herald.
He’ll bark till his voice is gone to get your attention. 

Jason V. 4M

My Family of Sports

My Mom is football, yelling out plays like “BRUSH YOUR TEETH!”
My Dad is golf, always doing the least he can do
My sister is karate, always kicking and punching (she’d have a black belt when it comes to hurting)
I am basketball, playing as a team and requires passing

If I Were in Charge of the World

If I Were in Charge of the World
I’d cancel Nukes,
Homework, shots, and Wars

If I were in charge of the world
There would be no school on the weekdays but on weekends,
School would always be half days,
People would not have to work,
And Walmart would be gone.

If I were in charge of the world.
You wouldn’t have
 pain,
Death, or
Elmo.

If I were in charge of the world
Cars would run on air,
Meat would be free,
And a person who sometimes forgets to shut off his computer,
And sometimes forgets to remember directions
 Would still be allowed to be in charge of the world.

Hannah H. 4M

RESPECT

Respect
Needs love, kindness, responsibility
Happy when people get along
Wants people to be nice,
And forgive when they make up
Fears when people fight
Loves, hugs, kisses, thank you s, and friendship
Sibling of loving and kindness
Always in your heart
Others


Filip D. 4M

If I Were in Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world
I’d cancel school
Homework
Grounding

If I were in charge of the world
There’d be
More
ATV
UTV
Video games

If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn’t have
School
Homework
And music class
Or chores

If I were in charge of the world
Cheeseburgers from McDonalds would be for lunch
More money for me and my cousin
And a person who is not good at keeping his room clean
And has trouble focusing
Would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world.  

Elizabeth A. 4M

Green

It gives us trees
It gives us shrubberies,
colors, sounds, and views
It gives us animals,
 a home, and food
It gives us water, happiness and plants
But the best thing it gives us is life

Claire B. 4M

Soccer

black, white
throwing, bouncing, rolling
games, balls, nets, grass
kicking, punting, shooting
sweaty, muddy
sport

Chris F. 4M

If I were in charge of the world
If I were in charge of the world
I’d cancel all the brothers from being mean, shots,
and also homework

 If I were in charge of the world
There would be more time to spend with grandparents,
a transporter to Florida so I can visit them instantaneously, 
talking cats,
and no more world war.

If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn’t have pets that die,
You wouldn’t have death,
You wouldn’t have money problems.

If I were in charge of the world
a bad thing would be a good thing,
all candy would be good for you,
and a person who forgets to do his homework
and doesn’t help mom bring in groceries
would still be in charge of the world

My Family Is A Pack Of Wild Animals

My dad is like an elephant. He is the leader of the pack and protects us all.
My mom is like a bear. She takes care of the whole family and helps us out when we need help.    
My brother is like a lion. He loves when you don’t bother him but when you do he gets mad.
My sister is like a deer. She is very nice at times but can bother you and other objects at other times.
I am like a bunny. I am always happy and most of the times I don’t bother other people.
All together we make a happy pack of wild animas!

Ashley S. 4M

My Family
My mom is light blue, like soft delicate snowflakes.
My sister is light purple, fun and creative.
My hamster is orange, curious and fast.
My dad is dark turquoise, always funny and happy.
I am pink, loving and friendly.
Together, our family is a rainbow of happy and beautiful colors


Ice Cream
Ice cream is a delicious treat
Cold and sweet.
Ice cream has many flavors like chocolate or vanilla
I makes you want to jump up and down for joy


Words
Words float around me all different kinds and combinations
Noun, verbs, adjectives,
Millions and trillions of words
Words
Words
Words
I imagine words swimming around in my mind spilling out everywhere
Like a fish out of water.

Neal G. 2B

MY MOM

I had a belly pain,
My mom tried as hard as an animal
Looking for food in the Pacific Ocean
All day long to fix my pain,
She even took a day off her work just for me,
Like a caring kangaroo that never leaves its joey
Soon it was night time
And my mom found a heating pad
That made me feel all better,
She comforts her child that will always love her…
Neal

My Cats

My cats are really cute.
Amare and Oreo.
Oreo is black and white like a skunk.
She’s a tired kid.
Amare is a tabby.
A rainbow of fur.
She’s an energetic baby.
Amare is our monkey.
She is as CRAZY as can be!
Oreo is a big, fat oreo,
With creamy filling!
She is a scaredy cat.
She runs from Amare
Like an elk from a cheetah!
Cuddles from my cats
Make me feel comforted
Like a joey in its mom’s pouch.

Adam W. 2B

Mom

My mom comforts me in the hospital room.
She hugs me tight as we wait for the doctor.
I lay on my back so the blood stops coming. 
I had a band-aid but my mom was a better one.
I know whenever I get hurt,
My mom will be there for me.
I love my mom.

Ian L. 2B

My Brother, The Sneak

He sneaks around.
He scampers toward me.
I’m the rummaging rhino.
He’s the puma cat.
He moves swiftly closer.
He jumps up like a rocket.
Then hugs you with all of his strength,
Like a little superhero.
He sticks to you like peanut butter.
When he lets go,
You bob around like J-ello.
He then comes in for the win,
And mercilessly grabs you on the back.
He’s like a little koala bear that will never stop.
I think he likes me a little too much!
Let’s get to the point…
Don’t ask for hugs! 

Rachel M. 2B

The Train

We walked toward the train
We sat down and waited for the train
Woooooooooosh
A train raced right by us
Like a bold bullet
It wasn’t our train
I saw a train off in the distance
It was going faster than
LIGHTNING
It was our train!
“I can`t wait!
I can`t wait!”
I said in my mind
New York City
HERE I COME!  

Carsen S. 2B

Winter Time

I go out into a wintry scene.
The wind is stinging my eyes,
Like a sword piercing through them.
Gladly, I’m bundled up so I don’t get frostbite.
Snow is covering my glasses,
Protecting my eyes from the freezing snow.
I pretend that I’m climbing Mt. Everest.
It’s SO cold, BRRRR…..
The swirling snow makes it impossible to climb to the top of our hill.
The snow covers my glasses which makes it difficult to see.
I take my glasses off on our porch.
Showing the snow my eyes. 
Then I slide down slippery Mt. Everest.
The wind brushing my hair and
Whistling like birds in my ears.
I laugh and laugh as I go down the hill. 
Then I started it all over again.
I try sled boarding –
The new sport my brother made up!
Then I fall on the freezing ground.
But instead of being upset, 
I BURST out laughing!
I love the winter time!

Brooke S. 2B

Spring

Oh, I just love the Spring!
The flowers blooming in the sunlight
It just warms me and the blooming flowers. 
The sun shines bright like lava flowing out of a volcano.
The bees, oh bees
Drinking nectar all day long
Bzzzzzzz!
The blue sky is as blue as the ocean.
Spring is my birthday.
Spring, I just can’t wait for you to come! 

Jordan H. 2B

Soccer Ball

It appears to be
A blast of lightning
And fire.
It is as hard
As a piece of
Stone.
It sounds like bold booms
Of thunder.
It is supersonic.
It is as light as a
Thunder bolt.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
It goes like a
Cheetah
In the
Goal!

Alex W. 2B

Sandy

Sandy, Sandy
Bang! Crash!
Hurricane so huge and black
Sandy, Sandy
Hurricane so powerful and scary
Sandy, Sandy
Storm like a tornado in the old window
Sandy, Sandy,
Sandy…

My Best Superheroes

My best friends are Adam and Tom
They are nice to everyone
They always wear a smile
For everyone around!
They make me laugh.
They cheer me up.
We share our toys.
We play outside.
They help me with things.
They are like superheroes!
I hope you can find friends like mine!

Adriana C. 2B

Mom

The sun shines bright
My mom and I walk hand in hand
The cool breeze hitting my face
The leaves crunching under me
It is cold
My mom holds me tight
We see a deer in the distance
I can see my home
It’s time to say “good bye”
I can’t wait to come again tomorrow!

Grayson V. 2B

ME

I am me when I am with my awesome family and friends.
I am me when I play with my cool street neighbors,
Fun as can be!
I am me when I play all my favorite sports.
I am me when I hear my two favorite sounds,
Soft as a light cricket…
Woof!
Woof!
Meow!
Meow!
I am me when I am in gym.
I am like a rocket on fire.
I am me when I am with my brother and sisters.
I am like a superhero big brother!
I Am Me!

Ella W. 2B

Lucy

My sister, Lucy, loves me.
Like a mom’s only child.
I love her too.

My sister, Lucy, comforts me.
Like a kind pet who runs to you when you’re hurt.
I comfort her too.

My sister, Lucy, stands up for me.
Like a wall that never crumbles.
I stand up for her too. 

My sister, Lucy, is the greatest
She is my hero!

Violet G. 2B

LOVE

Love
Love
Is in the air. 
Love is spending time with someone.
Love is being with my mom and dad and brother.
Love is the special time when you’re together.
Love is a flower in a vase.
Love is your heart.
Love is a feeling.
Love is a valentine.  
Love
Love.

We bought sweet June
She is a quarter red dun
With a dorsal stripe
June

Calm
            Determined
She has a secret word
“Whoa,” we say

She gives us a happy feeling
And gives us company
Friendly
            Happy

GOLD CROSS

My grandma gave me a big, gold necklace.
It gives me a big feeling
That I can do anything!
My gold cross,
Keeps me safe forever!
Like a mom and dad
That protect their children.
When my grandma is not with me,
I wear it.
It reminds me of her.
