Rain

Rain Rain go away stop making me

Wet you rain every where I go

It's Christmas

The wind is rough, the weather is cold,

I think I might have a slight cold.

My nose is red, my head is warm.

My feet are numb,

my stomach is acking,

my teeth are shacking.

It Christmas!

Rain, rain wet and small can be seen but not all of them.

Rain, rain cold and hard, sometimes it’s small but it can grow big in minutes. Rain, rain can happen every day and night.

Monarchs

Strong and silent they may be

Flutter slow and silently

Though land on you, you may wish

Bright Halloween

Deadly poised

To all those who lay finished

Have faced the queen’s

Strong death penalty

Found migrating

Across the nation 

Past mountains and creations

From Canada to Mexico

A big Halloween blob

Of a gifted creature of the earth

The Lights of Autumn

 The lights of autumn talk

But still they talk

“No wonder” I say

But I still hate May

I want this to last

Autumn is very vast

My minds is so clear

What can I hear?

The rustle

The tussle

I drift from air

To air

I am the lights of

Autumn

 Dear Diary

Dec 7, 1941

“Wake up” for the first time in my I heard the fear in my mom’s voice! I decided it was a dream so I ignored it and besides I was too tired to wake up. That’s when I realized she was actually there!  I got up. I heard peppers all around then “crash” a bomb fell like a torpedo out of the sky. I looked at the clock: 6:30 I dashed to my brother’s room “wake up” I screamed. Now the fear was in my voice. He woke up and looked outside. “AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!” he screamed.

We went down the creaky stairs “clack clack clack”. We got in to the living room, looked around. The coast was clear. We made a fort out of pillows. We camped out for the lonely night. Hours went by which felt like ever. Every time we looked out side we saw people screaming like mad, which we were not so sure of. Then we heard a whizzing sound. A bomb barley hit are house. I looked to my side at Carter.

 Dear Diary

Dec 8, 1941

Today we didn’t hear any bomb. We decided it was safe to come out. We got outside and saw are house was destroyed. We went around town and all we saw was blown up buildings. Airplanes were blown up and guns were gone. We saw the bank which lost money. And I mean a lot. Safes were destroyed $ was lost and not just that… people were shot lives were lost. Airplanes were blown up and guns were gone. We saw the bank, witch lost money. Then I realized. Is my friend ok? Dashed to her it took awhile because it was turned to smithereens. I knocked on her door. Then I realized the lights were on she said she had a generator. She also said every one was ok.

2 YEARS LATER

Almost every thing was restored. My friends are ok and my family to.  And school is back witch I think is good. Is it?

When I Grow Up

When I grow up

I’ll travel the world

I’ll visit so many places

The world will be swirled.

When I grow up

I’ll work at the zoo

We’ll even have cows

That say moo.

When I grow up

I’ll be a running back

I’d be so good

There’s nothing I’d lack.

Creative, chatty, secretive, active

Sibling of KIRAN

Lover of drinking hot cocoa on a winter afternoon, watching My Babysitter’s A Vampire when I’m bored at night, taking a nap when I’m tired

I feel happy watching My Babysitters a Vampire because it entertains me more than other series of shows, excited when I wake up on Christmas day, ecstatic when I’m about to go Trick-or-Treating

I need to watch a movie at night, to take a shower everyday, to eat chicken at lunch or dinner

I fear to ride a horse, to ride a motorcycle on a highway, to die.

I feed bread and milk to strays and birds.

I would like to see vampires in Transylvania.

He’s a little guy but he’s strong. Ok he’s almost in. look at that fish .it was light blue with razor sharp teeth. That’s a barracudas. We will catch a lot of those today.

When I played football

And now that it was spring flowers blooming in the garden and my family gathers outside

to play football. Me my brother and my dad play well the rest of my family goes inside. We would have a game my dad or my brother would be quarter back and I would be wide receiver or running back. I would switch off for being on my brothers team and my dads team. I would catch most of the balls unless if my dad was guarding me I would also run it and make it pretty far. I was the one who made most of the touchdowns well of course because I was the wide receiver and running back. My dad would always high five me when I catch the ball or score a touchdown it hurts a little bit when my brother tackles me and my dad would just tickle me and place me on the ground. I would laugh and laugh until he stopped then me and my brother team up and tickle my dad when he stops playing we play football with my dog he would always run it and go all the way and scores a touchdown. Then we would hug him and give him a treat and he would give us a high five and when ever we win with Oscar on are team we would scream woo! Who! And his tail would wag. But when me and my brother got tired and we went inside when my dog was still outside and he isn’t that old so he still likes to chew on stuff and when I told my brother do you think Oscar would chew the football up? He said no and I said again do you think he would chew the football up and he said no I went down stairs to check what I saw was a slimy disgusting chewed up football and it looked like snow across the yard. I screamed Jared you might want to see this he saw the football the chewed up football well of course it was one of those soft footballs now I learned not to leave a football outside when my dog is outside.

Monarchs

Flying high those beautiful butterflies

Colors, colors

Look up there

All those monarchs flying

Down south they go

The warmth is calling

They fly together

                                              In search of milkweed

To lay their babies

The caterpillars crack their eggs and look for food

Into their chrysalis they go

Out comes a…

              BUTTERFLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fall Beach

Waves bashing and crashing their way

through the jagged pointed rocks

The waves showing no mercy

As they pound up against the helpless beach

The pure white sand pulled out to sea

To never return back to its home

The strong, cold wind fights its way

 Across the fall beach

north to south

west to east.

Monarch

Seamless orange, black and white wings flutter endlessly across the turquoise Mexican skies

Down below lumberjacks pound away at the innocent, peaceful forest

The harmless butter flies

Will now have to extend their all ready large migration to find a reliable home

But for now

There is no trust worthy home for these majestic kings, princes, dukes and queens

“CRAK!”

A tree speckled with kings falls to the soft Mexican ground

Taking the lives of the finest form of royalty

This is the worst crime

Who gives friendship

Who would like to see a super bowl

Baxter

We wanted a dog on a cold winter morning and now that it was winter the snow fluttered to the ground. My mom and dad said when my brother is ten. I thought about dogs and how fun they could be. When I went into cars I see people having fun with dogs. My neighbors went away one time and we had to dog sit Ruby. After that I really wanted a dog! When my brother was ten I waited the whole year because I had to wait for the spring. Then my brother turned eleven then we got a dog!

          It was a surprise when we got a dog. He was white as a cloud. He was so small that you can run with him in your arms. His neck was so thin that he could slip out of his collar. He was as soft as a blanket. His hair was as long as my fingers. He nibbled as soft as a small hug on your hand. He was fun because he hid behind bushes. I loved chasing after him. He always tripped over my brother and I. He was funny and cute. We named him Baxter. I loved to pick him up inside and put him on the couch and lay with him. He is so fluffy and warm. I love to bring him up to my room and he cuddles up with me. When he goes to sleep he is so cute. He lies on your lap at night and after some rubs he starts to fall a sleep. Baxter is so smart because he moves his crate by getting the blanket from the inside and moves it to the spot he wants.  The blanket is warm and fuzzy.  It is bright red as fire flaming.  It is torn to large pieces.  It is scattered all around the dark black crate.  One time he put it in front of the door and I tried to open the door but the crate was in front of it.   I put my hand through the part that was open and pushed it out of the way.  That was funny. 

         

He sometimes eats things that are not edible like underwear.  I think that it is weird.  Sometimes we get it back but you never want to use it again.  When you give him treats he spits them out.  He then stops and picks them up off of the floor then eats it.  Once he went to the vet and came home with a big clear cone on his neck and he was trying to scratch himself but he could not. 

         

When you wait a long time it is exciting when you really get it.  Baxter was worth the wait!

Cool Cobalt

This royal blue is as royal as a king in his thrown giving orders to those who honor him because of his mighty loyal pride

This blue electrocutes your mind as you admire it’s style and humor

As happy as June flowers blooming

Same with the scent like a billion cornflowers held up to my nostrils

It tastes of ripe blueberries freshly picked

When you think of blue you think of the sun

And happiness for everyone

Halloween Night

The witches bound around the dark blanket of night

The clanging of skeleton bones echoes across the roads

Vampires wait, invisibly blending in the dark trees, wanting to drink

The ghosts look for spirits, wanting one of their own.

Zombies chase people, wanting to destroy them

Aliens try to take our planet

Pirates hold their knives, ready to draw their muskets

But I am the most fearsome of them all.

My armor glows in the moonlight.

The symbol of the dragon proves my might

I wear my silver helmet

They all fear me.
