House of Poetry

By John P.

Trick or Treat Everyone in the neighborhood Running about, The ghosts and the goblins Always come out, Going door to door Gathering treats, House after house, Kids running around in the streets, After collecting candy all night long The kids run home which is where they belong.

Decisions Made Right Inspired by: A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion.--Chinese proverb Making your own decisions is important.

It may not always be easy, You may not always want to do it, Following others may seem like a short cut, But the day you decide to let Yourself follow others Is the day that you will have the most trouble.

Follow your own path and you will get far But follow another's path And you will not get very far at all.

I Am Athletic and Smart I am athletic and smart I wonder where tennis will take me I hear thoughts running through my head I see the world around me I want to go to London I am athletic and smart I pretend to understand Spanish I feel the earth shaking I touch the sky I worry about tests I cry that summer is over I am athletic and smart I understand math I say don't judge a book by its cover I dream of playing professional tennis I try to write poetry I hope I will get good grades I am athletic and smart
