Standing in a meadow

I was standing in a meadow there was tall grass every were you looked. There was a pond that lead into a brook. I saw millions of wild flowers and in the corner of my eye I saw a baby deer with its family. I heard birds chirping it was a beautiful day. The sun was just setting and the sky was turning purple. There were wild ponies running free. I looked down and saw billions of ants scarring all around. I looked and saw mountains and forest behind me. The moon was out it was shining bright and the meadow was still the wind was gone I was standing in meadow with nothing in sight.

Rain

The rain comes on its little droplets

 surrounding the city with the dark gloomy clouds

striking lightning “BOOM” “BOOM” to the city

 a little kid shouting and crying.

The Sparkling Water

So much depends on it.

The diamond water runs through ripples.

Sea creatures need it for living,

And humans need it for survival.

Lost

I felt a crisp wind play with my hair. I lunged off the front step and plunged into the soft, white, blanket of snow. I sunk into the soft snow. I decided to venture off into the woods.  I hopped over the fence and made my way into the shadows. Pretty deep into the woods, I heard a low rumbling noise. I looked around, my dark, hazel eyes scanning the woods around me. I saw nothing. I heard it again. Suddenly I saw an almost pitch black shape spring out from some dead bushes. I shrieked in terror, and spotted glistening claws and the full height of the creature was humongous! Seeing huge, frightening teeth and a drooling mouth, I ran for my life. I dodged trees and bushes. I ran so fast I thought I was on fire! When I squinted into the distance, I saw light burst through the dark, shadowed forest. I felt the beast’s hot breath on my neck as I burst out into the clearing. Before I examined the place around me, I knew I had to go back, but for now, I knew I was safe. For now……..

1^st Dance Competition!

I was so excited and nervous at the same time. I was about to be on stage at my first dance competition! What was going to happen? All I knew is that I was going to try my best! No matter what the score was I was going to get out there and show my talent! The music was loud and our bodies were flowing, we were on stage dancing, actually dancing and it felt great when I got out there. The audience cheered as we were leaving the stage. Once my group got off the stage we raced to the dressing room to celebrate and get changed for next dance. We were done with our dancing in a blink of an eye and it was soon time for awards. I walked quietly onstage and as we sat down they started to announce the awards.  Finally they announced the small groups! This was our big chance! (The awards were bronze, high bronze, silver, high silver, gold, high gold, and platinum). Then they announced “The Tigers,” which was a group of 5 year olds. They won because the judges thought they were so cute. It was the worst!

Snow Storm

The deer was alone,

The storm was powerful

By the snow falling out of the sky

As the deer looked for safety

The deer found the cave

So he rushed in there until the storm came close

The deer finally made it safe

Hatching

Egg

Sitting still,

while I wait nearby.  Mother, nestles its

baby, not yet born

still to come

to the

world.

As we wait

it moves

it shakes.  The air is still as if it’s

holding its

breath.

Crack!

The baby has

come.

Welcome to

the world.

NAME TAG

It has no game

But it holds your name

So it's not to blame

So treat it like it has a lot of fame!

Me and the Dog

For the wag of a tail,

And a bark of hello,

To no other friend would I ever go.

To lick away tears and take away fears.

We shall be best friends forever and ever.

Lightning

Fast beams of light shooting through the air

Sharp as a needle it lights up the sky

Taking out anything in its path

It’s hot as lava, it strikes fast

So you better watch out where you step

Or otherwise you might be next!

Household

There’s a little puppy on the couch, there’s an 18 year old being a grouch. The baby is crying, the mischievous toddler is lying. But, nobody knows that the cat is spying!

One Inch Tall

If you were only one inch tall,

a paper house would look like a mansion to you,

a person would be a giant,

a half of a pizza would last you a month,

and a spider’s jump would knock you over

If you were only one inch tall.

MY FAMILY

I am very kind and sweet to all whom I meet,

like the whipped cream on a sundae. 

My brother Connor is a doctor, VERY smart and sweet. 

He is like the hot fudge who makes everyone feel good.

My sister is still in college, she is going to be a vet. 

She is like the fruit topping that keeps every one healthy.

My dad is always busy, but he stays home and plays with me.

He is like the ice cream that is the most fun.

My mom is mostly busy, but she plays with me too. 

She is like the chocolate that is so sweet.

My uncle helps me with my homework when my mom is busy.

He is like the bowl that holds everything together.

My other sister always reads and is very smart.

She is the healthy treat that makes us happy.

My other brother Alan is barely home.

He is like the ice cream that is all gone, and missed very much.

Together we are one big ice cream sundae.

THE BIG HIKE

Ding! My alarm woke me up. 9:00 I yelled for everybody to wake up. I flopped on my clothes and ran outside and it was as hot as a sauna.

 “David breakfast!” my mom called. yum bacon and eggs for breakfast.

“That was delicious,” I exclaimed as my cousins were coming downstairs. they just woke up. You better eat fast,  we are leaving soon.

          I walked back outside and back up the outside stairs with my cousin Michael and we went to the field. we saw two baby deEr and a mom and dad.

“Let’s go see if there are any frogs in the creek,” I suggested. I darted over to the creek and heard something.  it was a frog.

“C’mon lets go get packed for the hike. Let’s go!  my mom screamed as I was making my salami sandwich. As I walked out the door I heard a stick crunch under my foot and the birds tweeting. I could already tell that this would be a good hike.

 finally I got into the car and we were driving.  It took two cars to take us all.it was a 15 minute ride. Right when we got out I was the first one out of the car.

My cousin was out next. I darted over to the trail and there was a great view of New York. Let’s get on the trail so we started walking to the big hill of rocks.  we had to climb all the way up all the rocks.  right when we got over all the rocks I saw a giant cliff and it made me get butterflies in my stomach.  I thought I would fall off.

          we saw a green dot and a yellow dot on a tree and we went on the green trail.

“wow!  look at that huge rock! maybe we should stop for lunch.”

 I ripped my salami sandwich and ate it so fast I forgot I ate it. 

“look there is a tepee!”

 I ran over and jumped into the tepee. There was a skull in it so we screamed and ran out as fast as our feet could carry us. I looked for all the green dots and it led us to a cave it looked like a mine and explorable.

 So I walked in and had to grab my flashlight from my bag.   it was very dark. I saw an old rickety ladder and I stepped slowly down it and I shined my flashlight all around. I saw a giant chest I screamed for everybody to come over. we all tried to open it and it was locked so we all carried it back up the ladder.  I Said, “we’ve got to bring it back home and find the key to the chest.”

 My uncle got a pic lock and finally got the chest open. there were diamonds and gold and pearls

“ we’re rich!” I exclaimed. “I can have anything I want Like a Mansion and live with all my cousins like Michael Jonny, Mary, Owen, Kevin, James, Kelly, Timmy, and a dog Bailey. I could get LeBron’s and elite socks. I can even get season tickets to the Mets and jets!”

I started to grab as much gold as I could carry and diamonds my pockets were filled with gold and diamonds, my pants were falling down. I was so happy I jumped with joy and started screaming and running all around the house and making as much noise as possible while I started thinking of all the things that I could do with all precious gold and diamonds.

                         Old Indian Tale

Acha (my dad) and I dashed to the parade. We were late to see these tiger, leopard and lion animals, but I didn’t know what they were called in India. One of the parade tigers jumped out of the cart and slowly walked toward Acha and me. I was scared for a second, but not to the point where I would cry, when my dad grabbed my hand and punched the tiger while he was kicking it. I now think that was what the parade animals were supposed to do or it was a joke. Anyway the tiger ran away and jumped back into his parade cart with all the other animals.

                                  Author’s note:

This story took place in India when I was three. My dad and I came to an Indian parade, then this exclusive story occurred.

Surf Away!

The summer wind caught my face in a pillow of screeching water.

Mist sprayed me with its sparkling summer sand.

I could not see the light of the smiling sun,

As my head went under the deep blue sea.

When I popped my head up to the surface of the water,

I was able to catch a glimpse of my dad’s laughing surf board

 Before a wave slammed into me,

 And sent me flying along with it.

Quickly I grabbed my black, yellow, and red surf board

And stood up on it.

While riding, it felt as if I rode my board all the way home.

When my dad finally flipped over,

I jumped in and swam out to the wave I liked,

 Stood up on my board and hit the gleaming waves

For the last time that day.

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
