Hugs and kisses

Mommy!
Mommy I love you!
Every time I see you, I always give
a hug. I wish you were not sick because
it is not fun! But I love you very much! I promise
that I will take care of you all the time! I love you!
You are the best mom in the world, and I know that
I love you more than CJ does because he is
mean! As I have said before, you are cool
And you are nice and really fun to hang
out with. Never forgetting
all of the fun we
had!

Horse Show Jumping
Horse show jumping which is exciting- coming to the first jump- not knowing what to do- long, short, deep, or ordinary you have choose one and not them all. Taking it with confidence you take to the first obstacle, landing back to the ground your expressions are filled with joy. Taking to the rest of the coarse you know that your unstoppable- coming to the last fence your nerves start to kick in- flying in the air- not knowing what to expect, to land back on the earth with glee
YOU WON

Goodbye
Running past the world
People walk away
Everyone not noticing
That everything is gone
Watermelons Are..Watermelons are shy
Covering their red with a green coat
Hiding sweetness with a dark jacket

But not so very nutritious
I want to eat them all the Time but I can’t

They scream and beep and yell
They are what wakes me up
But thank goodness for snooze

Loneliness
I miss this great person
The most amazing thing
Running away with the winds
Like the changing tides

Fries
There was a girl who loved to eat fries
She was obese from her head to thighs
She ate all the day
And could never pay
Her mom saw her and began to cry
Limerick
Friendships Can Be Weird!
I have amazing friends, I do
I know they would never eat my shoe
I know they are there
We make some good pairs
And a few of them even say moo
Limerick
FishI like to eat lots and lots of fish
I put it all in a giant dish
It tastes really good
And I knew it would
Then it gave me a really big wish
limerick
A Fish
Once upon a time there lived a DaceIt owned a beautiful flower vase
A neighbor broke itBy throwing a fit
Dace said, “I’m going to punch his face!”
Limerick
Terza Rima
Acquainted with the Night
I have been one acquainted with the night.I have walked out in rain--and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light
I have looked down the saddest city lane.I have passed by the watchman on his beatAnd dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

Cake is very mandatory
Ice-cream is celebratory
So delicious

Happiness

When you are home alone at night

Do you feel things aren’t right
When you are home alone in light
Are you happy Rondelet
My Chocolate

My chocolate
So smooth and so creamy to taste
So necessary to survive
When dead it helps me to revive

Man’s Best Friend
A dog is a man’s very best friend
It ensures them that their love will never end
The timid, scared man hopeless and blind
His old companion that is so very kind
They touch noses a give a single promise
That their loyalty will never demolish
They give a hug and hold forever
Let go and say goodbye, they will never

Is It Mind Reading?I look into the beast’s eyes Mesmerizing me into fear, it triesI’m not afraid I think to myself, oh waitWe’re mind reading, I get a message to translate
It doesn’t make sense what it’s sayingWhat is this, these are unusual traits he’s displaying
My mind is blank. I don’t see a thing
Now I get it, it’s a puppy, no messages this animal will bring
A picture is worth a thousand words poem EXAMPLE
