Lament

I am  Honesty
I dress in  what is best for me
I am related to  any angry person
I vacation  when I step out the house
I am  honesty
My job is  to be very respectful to everyone I see.
I desire is to be honest  where I am .

Hate

Hate
It angers
Clouds minds                            
Hate endangers love
Spreads like a virus
It eats the heart up
Something so hard to get rid of
It flows faster than the water runs
Burns the blood of an innocent soul
The living good shall end the rein of hate.

FLORIDA

The time I went to Florida was real nice

Even though I had been there twice.

My mom woke me up in the middle of the night

Gave me my bags and said, “I remembered your kite.”

I looked puzzled when I took my bag

My mom said, “Now you won’t have to listen to me nag.”

I still had no clue why everyone was there

I just hoped this place didn’t have any bears.

My mom wouldn’t tell me who was taking me.

I said I would go as long as I could take a break from my spelling bee.

Finally a car pulled up in front of my house,

And to my surprise it was my uncle and his spouse.

I said bye to my mom when I got in the car.

My uncle got in and took off the safety bar.

I waved to my mom as we left the driveway,

Headed down the street and got on the highway.

We got to the condo and I saw my cousin.

She handed me a toy bee that was buzzin’

My trip to Florida was really fun.

I got home and helped my mom make some homemade buns.

The Wonderful World of Zero
 

The wonderful world of zero brightens up my day.

With zero schools, zero houses and zero work to pay.

Plus zero people with zero books.

Zero parents with zero looks.

Zero noises plus zero play .

Zero months, years, weeks, and zero day.

Zero her and Zero him.

Zero Sara and zero Tim.

Zero teachers and zero bleachers.

Zero me and zero you.

So what, I “ X” you out!

Now you can sue!

Gateway Rap

Well, it started out when I walked in the school.

A place to learn and follow some rules!

Walking down the hall, going to my  class!

About to take a test that I know I will pass.

I studied hard, every night and every day.

When report cards come, I know I’ll get an “A”.

I know I’m very tire, from my head to my hip,

But it will all be worth it when I get my

                  SCHOLARSHIP!

Walking and Talking

When I walk and talk

I can’t think of what I’d say

Stumbling instead and mumble away

I’ll fall, stumble on words

Just like last time I fell

That’s how words can hurt

Heather Moore

Notice Me

Then they’ll notice

Took as a stranger

The others pass me along

Other goes on by

As I they never notice

Just as I expected

As I would any other day

Fair is not in this question, But what is?

Heather Moore

Thinking

  I am unable to think.

  It’s like my thoughts are not there, but

  really they're just stuck in my head.

  It’s like my head is a prison cell that I

  can’t find the key to.

  But if I can’t find the key, I may still

  be  able to sneak out a thought or  two.

The Wind in My Hair
 

The wind in my hair

Riding down the path

I see a bird in a birdbath

The wind in my hair

The wind in my hair

I road him to the movie

It was groovy

The wind in my hair

The wind in my hair

I road him to the lake

then we bake

The wind in my hair

The wind in my hair

I brought him into my house

then we saw a mouse

The wind in my hair

A Sense of Scents
(What’s that smell?)

My favorite sense is my sense of smell.

It can sense different scents,

Many of which I know very well.

There are many smells if you smell the air.

I can smell pizza, popcorn, and grapes,

Also pie and the scent of a pear.

I can smell bananas and apples.

I can smell a hot toasted pop tart.

I like to smell the scent of Snapple.

Take another deep-smelling whiff.

I can smell bacon and candy bars.

Hey, is that turpentine I sniff?

I think I can smell rubber cement.

I can smell stinking toxic paint fumes.

These smells are becoming a torment!

I think that hate my sense of smell!

Always to be with my friends
and butterflies, No need for shots
or being with my brother.
"You sing and dance excellent,"
said my fifth grade music teacher.
That made me feel so happy.
My very good friend, Giovanni died
when I was in fifth grade.
I felt like I could die.
My greatest wish was that I could bring him
Back, or at least see or talk to him.
I cry when I am lectured or yelled at.
I have dreams that I hope
to come true one day.
I also hope that I can become
a singer and an actress.
I have many dreams, that are yet to come true.
