Odd Toy and Candy Store By Aydin Barrett One dark night a boy named Aydin was biking. he saw a toy and candy store. Aydin went in he was looking through the toys. When suddenly, he heard a "slam!" Aydin ran to the door but it was locked. Aydin freaked out. He looked around for some food but it was just a toy and candy store. His last resort was candy. He didn't want to develop cavities but Aydin needed to survive. Aydin ate a little bit of snickers. That made him feel a little bit better. Aydin was scared because it was dark. Then he saw a big container with a huge gummy snake in it. He walked away looking through the candy and suddenly he heard a "smash!" The glass broke. Aydin had to pick it up. Luckily he had a glass container just like the one that broke in his backpack. Aydin took a mop and he threw all the glass in the trash and put in the substitute.He wondered what fell out of that container. Then he remembered--- the snake! He looked around...nothing! Aydin kept looking then he heard a sssss! The snake was right next to him haaaa! Aydin ran so fast then he stopped. Aydin went back and smacked the snake on the wall. It went unconscious. He threw the snake back in the container. It was 4:00, 2 more hours till 6:00. Aydin was tired. He had an idea. He took two shelves and cornered them together. Rrrrrrr! His stomach was rumbling. He ate some candy and felt better. Then he looked at the time. It was 5:59 ahhhh. Aydin ran to a shelf and hid in the shelf. The store owner came in. Aydin ran to the door as quickly as possible! He wanted to end the story here because there's going to be a lot of yelling coming soon. The End


Thankful By Miles Baumal-Bardy

I am thankful for sports, humor, and technology. I am thankful for sports because if we didn't have sports everyone would look like the people from Wall-e. I am also thankful for sports because they are really fun and they make me stronger. Sports can also make you famous, if you are really good at a certain type of sport you can become famous. I am really thankful for sports. I am thankful for humor too. Everyone should be thankful for humor, you have to laugh once in awhile. I also like humor because it makes me feel good. I am also thankful for humor because I like the people who perform comedy like Bill Murray and Jimmy Kimmel. I really love humor and I am thankful for it to. I am super thankful for technology. I could not live without my Ipod. Technology also helps people like my mom, she wants to spend time with us but she has a lot of work so she can do her work on her iPhone. I also like technology because it has video games. Video games are my favorite things in the world. I am really thankful for sports, humor, and technology.


Creation of the Earth An Iroquois Folk Tale

Retold by Elijah Cadet Earlier than people lived on Earth there was a sky-world. Below the sky-world was a vast space of air, and below that, a great sea. In the sky there was a great tree. Its flowers gave out light. One day the grand chief was sick. His people pulled out the tree to give him light. His wife looked at the hole. instead of looking through the hole, she accidentally fell into the space. As birds were flying by, they saw her falling and the quickly caught her in their wings. The turtle offered to carry her, but the earth needed to cover its back. The otter, beaver and muskrat each try to swim to the bottom of the water and grab a fistful of soil and dirt and put it on the turtle's back. Only the muskrat succeeded. The soil grew and became the land of Earth. The birds brought the chief's wife onto the turtle's back. This is how the Earth came to be Resource: Levine, Ellen ...If You Lived With the IROQUOIS


The Boy who Could Talk With Animals By Roald Dahl

Book Review by Lucas Connors This book is by Roald Dahl. It is called ​ The Boy who Could Talk With Animals​ . The main characters are David and the turtle. The setting is a hotel in Jamaica. The problem is that the hotel manager wants to cook the turtle into turtle stew. Another problem is that David disappears the next morning. What I like about this book is that it’s funny. It is funny because a coconut clonks a rich man on the head. The turtle is also very big. I would recommend this book to people who like animals because this book has a lot of animals. Another reason I like this book is because it is by Roald Dahl and I like books by Roald Dahl. The moral of the story is David also learns to stand up for his friend. David is a lot like me. We are about the same age. He also likes animals just like me. Another thing that David and I have in common is that he likes to travel and I like to a travel too. Read the book to see if any of the characters are like you.


Letter to Mom and Dad By Emmett Cooney

Dear Mom and Dad, I am writing because I think we should get Leo (My Cat) a brother or sister. I think we should get two kittens because I would sleep better and then I would be refreshed afterwards. I would wake up earlier and we could get to school on time for once. It would be twice as fun! This time, please just think about it and don’t just reject it right away. Thanks for reading my letter. Love, Emmett

Toy and Candy Store By Ben Gandel

One night in 1950 a boy named Joe walked to a toy and candy store. He was looking for stuff to buy. He saw some snapping turtles and for a second he thought he saw move. He kept walking but he felt like the eyes were looking at him. Then there was a power outage. Joe got scared. The cashier tried to fix it. The cashier worked for two companies. He could not fix it. They had to settle through the night without power.

Joe asked the cashier if he could still buy things. The cashier said, “No.” He had to stay there through the night. He wanted candy, but he couldn’t. The cashier couldn’t call Joe’s mom because there was no power. The cashier left and locked the door. He forgot about Joe. The cashier drove home and still didn’t remember Joe. Joe’s mom called him. Joe could answer because the power came back on. His mother asked why he stayed over for the night. Joe said because he was locked in by the cashier. The cashier came back to the store the next morning. The cashier said, “Aren’t you the boy from last night?” Joe said, “Yes.”


Make the World Awesome

By Ben Gardner To make the world more awesome, ​ kids should have​ the right to vote. Some kids know that people should not be elected like Donald Trump for President. Did you ever think that decisions that Presidents, Governors and Mayors make could affect kids? Just because kids are young doesn't mean they don't have smart brains. For example, who is the one who fixed your computer when it broke? Like the Declaration of Independence says, all men are created equal. So if all men are created equal shouldn’t that mean that children are created equal too? That is why I think children should have the right to vote​ !

My family is very nice to me. My parents are very cheerful and supportive. My brothers are very fun to play with. I love my family.


Toy and Candy Store By Matthew Gladstone “Okay class we are going on a field trip. We need need to get on the bus now. It will take 15 minutes to get there..... We have arrived at the candy store. We are entering the toy section. This is the biggest toy and candy store in Boston so don't get too far away!” exclaimed Ms O’Brien. Tom looked for the toy he wanted to buy. He found it ­­ the bot. It is the newest toy and everybody wanted it. He was getting it for his 9th birthday. After that he went to the bathroom. When he came out, the lights were off. Tom was locked in! He needed to find a flashlight. Then Tom found a flashlight. “Hello, do you need help?” Tom looked around to see who had said that. Tom looked left and right, but he saw no one. He looked up and saw no one. Then he looked down. He saw an alive bot! Tom was too hungry to do anything. Then Tom asked, “Where is the candy aisle?” The bot said, “Follow me.” Soon they arrived at the candy aisle. Tom ate some candy, and he felt better. Tom wondered how he would get out of the toy and candy store. Then Tom remembered that the commercial bot could pick locks. When Tom got out, he saw his parents. He ran straight to them. Tom hugged them. Tom looked back, and the bot winked at him.

Beaver and the Porcupine A Tlingit legend

Retold by Ezra Klauber The beaver and the porcupine were great friends. They went everywhere together. The porcupine often visited the beaver but the porcupine didn't like to go because he left quills everywhere. One time when the porcupine wanted to go to the beaver's house, the beaver said, "All right, I will carry you on my back." Instead of taking him to his house, Beaver brought the porcupine to a stump in the middle of the lake, left him there and went ashore. While Porcupine was on the stump a song," Let it be frozen so I can walk across." The surface of the lake froze, and Porcupine walked home. Some time after this the two friends were playing again. Porcupine said, "Come on my back." The beaver got on his back. Then the porcupine took Beaver to the top of the tree and left him there. The beaver didn't know how to get down. Finally he climbed down but when he climbed down. He scratched the bark and people say that is what gives the tall tree’s bark it’s broken appearance. Resources: first people.us

Solving the Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle by Declan Long

Charybdis, an ancient Latin sea monster could easily be the cause of what's been happening to ships and planes that go to the Bermuda Triangle. I have an idea to prove this and solve this mystery for good and if it works I'll make my mark in history. Charybdis is the size of 16 cruise ships combined. She could easily be the reason that all the ships and planes that go into the Bermuda Triangle have gone missing.

One of the reasons I think that Charybdis could be the cause of ships going missing is because no kind of ship would be able to withstand her vortex, trust me on this one, I know. Charybdis also has a mouth that could eat a cruise ship, 16 in fact. I mentioned that earlier.

The way I'm going to prove this is I’m going to attach a camera to a piece of driftwood. I have an iLab in my school that can make the camera. Then I’ll have a remote control to move the driftwood around to every spot in the Bermuda Triangle. If anything strange happens the camera would catch it and then I would have my answer to what's been happening. This would help the world because maybe there is a certain spot in the Bermuda Triangle that everything goes missing in and I will discover it.


Night of the Living Toys By Max Lovitt It was Jeff's birthday. It was 1:00 pm, January 7th, 2009. He was turning 11. His parents were letting him spend the day in the mall. "Be back home by 5:00 pm and don't leave the mall," said Jeff's mom. "Ok, Mom." replied Jeff. Jeff walked to Albert's candy and toy store. All the candy looked delicious, and the toys looked super cool. Jeff asked the clerk, "So how much are the gumdrops, lollipops, Sour Patch Kids and the nerf gun?" The clerk replied, "The gumdrops are $1.00 a bag, the lollipops are $7.00 each, the Sour Patch Kids are $5.00 a bag and the nerf gun is $15.00. In total it 's all $28.00." "Wow," exclaimed Jeff, "I don't have enough money to buy all that!" Jeff was in the bathroom when the store closed.

He was all alone. "Awe man! Mom's going to kill me!" mumbled Jeff bitterly. Then Jeff walked around the toy​ /​ candy store. It was creepy. He was hungry so he ate some candy then he heard a noise! A long creak. "What was that?" Whispered Jeff. Then Jeff saw an army of toys, trains to walking i Pads with nerf guns. Jeff ran!​ He turned corners, jumped on tables, and ran through ​ halls. Then a doll grabbed onto his leg, and Jeff tripped! A dinosaur toy whispered "Can you play with us?" "Sure!" Yelled Jeff. They played until morning. The toys froze in the sunlight before his parents picked him up and Jeff left.

When his parents came to get him they grounded him for a month. His parents told him they couldn't get to him sooner because the mall had closed, and they couldn't get in. Jeff told them the story, and they told him he was probably just dreaming.

The End, or is it...


13 Story Treehouse By Andy Griffiths

Book Review by Chris Lynch The story, ​ 13 Story Treehouse,​ is about two boys named Andy and Terry. They lived in a thirteen story tree house. They had a problem with sea monkeys. The sea monkeys turned into an evil mermaid because Andy put too much water in the pitcher. The boys shrank the evil mermaid! Another time Mr. Big Nose yells at the boys because they did not return a book. But the boys brought the book back. Andy and Terry should follow directions. They did not follow directions and made an evil mermaid monster when they were trying to make sea monkeys. They should also listen carefully when Mr. Big Nose gives them directions. I recommend this book because it is very funny and goofy.

Ben’s Night At The Candy/Toy Store by Krishantha Muniappan

Once upon a time there was a boy named Ben. It was 7:00 pm. Ben was at a candy/toy store to buy his friend a birthday present. He was looking at a shelf when the lights turned off! There had been a power outage. Ben was stuck.

Ben decided to play with the toy cars. He made them do awesome stunts. He made one

jump off a ramp over three cans and on to another ramp. Ben was starving. He found a baking set in the food section. He started to bake the cake. When the cake was done

Ben took it out. It was very well baked. He started to eat the cake. It tasted great! Ben was stuffed. He put some money on the counter since he used the baking set.

After a while Ben tried to fly a helicopter through an obstacle course. when he was in

the middle of the course the lights started to flash. They stopped, the doors opened, and he was free. The power was back on. Ben ran as fast as he could to his house. Ben was so tired he just jumped on his couch and fell asleep. The End


Wild Card By Ronde and Tiki Barber

Book Review by Axel Orbon

The book is ​ Wild Card​ by Ronde and Tiki Barber. I like this book because it is a football book and I like football. The main characters are Adam,Tiki, Ronde, and Cody. The problem is Adam fails in math and science so he gets suspended. This is a problem because he can't play football, but Tiki and Ronde help him study.

My favorite part is when Adam gets suspended. It is the first problem in the book. It makes the book exciting. Also, another problem is Adam fails his makeup test. Then they lose the football game.

The moral of this story is Adam,Tiki, and Ronde learned that learning is important. They learned this because Adam got suspended and he could not play football. I would recommend this book to people who love football!!!!!!


Thankful By Oscar Parkinson

I am thankful for sports, food, and family. I am thankful for sports because some kids are not allowed to play sports like hockey because it's a dangerous sport. I am also thankful for food because some people don't have enough money to afford food or a home. Last but not least I am very happy to be able to spend time with my family and go out to dinner together. In conclusion I am very grateful for everything I have. I am always happy to be able to play baseball when my dad has free time at home. I also like to spend time with my family in general. I love my family as much as I love the ilab.


Grateful By Julian Pechet

I am grateful for my family because they all really nice. My dad is a radiologist and my dad used to be a surgeon. I like his job because it gets me toys and everything I have in my life even my education. I am grateful that I can watch TV and play sports. I am grateful for everything!Â


Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone By J.K. Rowling

Book Review by Noah Peters

In the book ​ Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone​ the main characters are Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The settings are Hogwarts,The Dursleys house, Hagrid’s house, and The Quidditch field. The problem is the sorcerer’s stone is about to get taken! The solution is they destroy the stone and the person that is trying to take it. Another thing that happens is Harry gets a nimbus two thousand.

My favorite part is when Harry goes into the forbidden forest. It is my favorite part because a unicorn dies. A important thing that happens around this part is Hagrid gets a dragon.

The main idea of the story is that Harry Potter defeats Lord Voldemort. The lesson Harry learns is that Lord Voldemort is still out there. I recommend this book to people who like action because it has a lot of action in it.

He didn't hear them say they were closing because he was wearing headphones listening to Justin Bieber music. Then he was locked in. Grant decided he would stay there for the night. First he investigated the surroundings. He noticed the toys were on shelves, cars on the top, games on the next shelf, and dolls on the bottom. Grant went upstairs to the second floor. There was a library with bean bags. He took a book, lay down on the bean bags and fell asleep. Grant woke up. He heard a noise and thought someone had entered the store, but he actually saw monsters running down the stairs! He headed downstairs and looked around the whole store. The sun had come up, and Grant saw the dolls were sitting on the floor! Grant decided to stay in the store another night. He cleaned the mess up and made his plan for the night. The next day he wanted to stay another night. The store just closed. He did his homework. He stayed up all night so the monster don't wake up his dad. The next morning he had no school so he stayed with his dad buying candy for 1 dollar. Then he looked at the toys and the button hit the wall that made the toys come alive. Then he look at the time it was 10.00 oclock it was past his bedtime. Grant ran up the stairs to his bed and fell asleep. Then his dad got fired because he let someone get a toy free.

The Tiger Troubles By David A. Kelly

Book Review by Jackson Vignati The story ​ Tiger Troubles​ is about Kate and Mike. Kate and Mike are cousins, and Kate’s dad takes them to every MLB stadium. Mike and Kate go to the Tigers stadium. When they get to the ballpark they figure out that someone is blackmailing Tony, the Tigers best player. Kate and Mike catch the blackmailer by finding clues to catch her. My favorite part is that all the stuffed animals are pandas not tigers. Another one of my favorite parts are that they visit every MLB stadium. Of course everyone's favorite part is when you figure out the mystery.

The main part of the book is that two 10 year olds catch a blackmailer. The blackmailer learns that making people do things is not nice. I recommend this book because it has a good lesson and it is a good book, it makes you want to keep reading.


Brady vs. Manning By Gary Myers

Book Review by Ben Walsh In the book ​ Brady vs Manning ​ by Gary Myers. The main characters are Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. The settings are SNL, Lucas Oil Stadium, Gillette Stadium, and Mile High Stadium. The problem is that they are rivals. The solution is that they play each other. They play each other sometimes in the AFC Championship, if you win the game it gets you to the Super Bowl.

My favorite part is during Brady vs Manning round two, in the AFC Championship. Brady won the game 20-3. Two weeks later Brady would beat the Greatest Show On Turf, St. Louis Rams , in The Super Bowl 36. He went 16-27 and threw for 154 yards. Two years later Brady played Manning and Brady won 24-14 and the Patriots won Super Bowl 38 vs the Carolina Panthers 32-29. Also he had 354 passing yards and he went 32-48.

Another thing is that the Patriots won their first two Super Bowls with a winning kick by Adam Vinatieri (also that year they won 21 straight games, an NFL record). The moral of this story is the rivalry between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning is the greatest ever. These two are the best QB’s ever to play football. I recommend this book because you can learn more about Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, and football!


The Weird Night By Davis Woolbert It was 7:30 PM on the 12th of December. Jack went to the candy store. Jack did his homework every other night in the candy store. He was doing his homework when he heard a click. He was locked in. There was more candy then Jack had ever seen. There were Twix, Hershey's, and best of all- gumballs. Jack loved gumballs. He paid one quarter and a big green gumball came out. He ate the gumball it was very good. But while he was eating the green gumball, a small Hershey's turned into a zombie that looked like it was in a costume. The fake zombie started walking toward Jack. Jack was freaked out and fainted. He woke up. The owner was standing over him. The owner was mad. The mini Hershey's that turned into the zombie was the very mad owner in disguise. The owner told Jack to get out of the store. Jack gave him a $20 bill. That made him happy because he said That Jack could have a Hershey's bar and that he could do his homework. That is what Jack wanted to do before the night. He did all his homework and went home. From then on Jack always did his homework and bought Twix, Hershey's and toys at the toy and candy store.

As Hopeful As By Marc Albrechtskirchinger

As hopeful as a small bird fighting a storm away, A small fire burning its wood, But it’s always there to lead our way And to push away the gloom of doubt.


Heart by Patrick Albers

I will fall but my heart will not sorrow it will live on and pound on until I’m forgotten death is not death until you are forgotten you will be loved in ash you will fly far away in the wind and be carried in the current yet you are dead you are still alive in the sky and water


Azian Mountain By: Aidin Bina

It stands tall like a giant head to toe As you get closer you see how beautiful it is in the scenery And you feel the heartbeat, it sounds like BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! So big it is a galaxy far far away When the sun shines on it it looks like shining ice waiting to get melted away It's beauty can be compared to a wonderful sunset The valleys below are big by themselves, but with the mountain on top it looks like a big chop It has it's own orbit of camera and flashes just like big splashes.


T ​ ​he Happy Dog By Andrew Bittner

My dog is like a joyful golden rocket darting here and there and then making ​ screech sounds as he comes to frequent but sudden, stops. Then he'll lick you for a while. Tickling your toes and asking to be scratched, when he feels satisfied he'll give you a tiny grin with his front teeth showing all pearly and white wag his tail swish, swish, swish and then happily walk away.

The Deep Side of the Ocean By Carter Blessing

I come from a quiet place, but also a loud place, the only sounds I hear are birds chirping, or squirrels jumping, or sometimes nothing. I am from the tips of all trees and everything under water, I am from a camera full of pictures all over the world, I come from the jagged ice of hockey, and the sound of the goal light buzzing. I come from the deep side of the ocean and the fish that swim with it. I am from the sharp tips of arrows hitting the center of a target, I come from the shimmering lights of the ocean and everything it has to hide. I come from shady bushes perfect for building forts, I am from tall towers made out of Legos. Out my window I see the trees standing firmly and strong, And I imagine climbing to the top.


Yellow sands By Max Brady

Yellow is the sand over the land The building blocks for afterlife spots It is the blazing ball that is good for all The gold that grave diggers sold


Storm vs. Boat By Leon Brink­Bredella

My Bean Bag is like a Big, Warm, Friendly Dog By Alex Carlstrom

It loves to cuddle up with me. It does get lonely when I'm at school, so that is... why it looks forward to summer vacation. It has read over my shoulder many, many books. It is for some reason red. It is very loyal that's why it will never leave. It has seen movies. It is 9 years old which is 36 beanbag years. The beanbag loves to have a person on it no matter how T A L L or small.


Blue is… By​ : ​ Ace Ciongoli

Blue is tasting sweet and sour when you pop a Sour Patch Kid in your mouth Blue is feeling waves crash into you at the beach Blue is feeling refreshed when you sip Arctic Frost Gatorade Blue is the fish saying “Hello” and the trumpets they go Blue is a pigeon walking bye Blue is the sound of fireworks going BOOM BOOM BOOM!!! Blue

She will listen to my call This is what she will be. I can not wait to have a furry friend I hope our fun times will never end.


The BIG Game By Kavan Daftary

As I dribble down the court and take a shot "SWISH" as I play defense "CLANG" right off the rim the crowd cheers I feel great Once more I dribble down the court but this time like a cheetah I pass the ball to my favorite teammate and he takes a shot "SWISH" I feel great I am on defense the other team takes a shot “CLING” “CLING” “CLANG” right off the rim we finally WIN I feel great!


Smelly Soccer Cleats By Tyler Derenzo

I am a terrible smell of soccer cleats after a soccer tournament and hammers, screwdrivers and saws in my dad's tool box because he is a builder. I am playing soccer with my brother save, skill, shoot, score! always winning and I am shooting 4th Quarter buzzer beating three's when I'm Steph Curry on NBA2K16 on my XBOX1. I am Neighbors who walk their dog morning to night who can't stop barking at each other 24/7. I am my Grandpa who rode a ship from Italy to United States of America to find new land for our family. I am my mom's creamy and crunchy Death by Chocolate that melts in your mouth on the holidays. I am my mom's camera where there is pictures of everyone on Volcanoes, Waterfalls and Snowstorms. I am people saying in my house "Go to your room" and then "You know you're in trouble."

No school No stress No quizzes No tests The grass is green The sun is hot None of the memories will be forgot I rest a little and swim a lot At baseball camp I hit, throw, and run I play with my friends and have lots of fun.


Dolphin By Connor Gandel

I am a dolphin, blowing bubbles, and jumping in the air My life is great, not a moment of despair. We don't breath water, just like an otter. But the further I go down, down, down, into the marvels of the sea, the colder I get, I'm teaching you, really! Beautiful coral, the plants of the ocean, all the noise, always a commotion! Some sea creatures, to you may look like aliens, but they’re just our, fellow crustaceans!


The Nest By William Gao

There once was a birds nest upon that porch that nest had not a single ​ scratch In it three shining eggs lay only to darken when a robin landed on their behalf to warm them her pappy feathery body days went on until the robin’s hard work had paid its loan when three little heads peeked up from the nest days and weeks passed three grown birds hopped out of the nest never to come back never to return


Straight in the Gut By Erick Garcia

As I skate my heart beats like a drum. In an instant I get hit straight in the guts I feel like a sword just stabbed me I fall down On the cold ice I hear a whistle and a voice ask, “Are you ok?" Tears of pain come and I groan, "No" I look up A face that face belongs to my dad appears Picks me up Takes me to the bench My head becomes free of my helmet He gives me some water The urge to win returns to my body My helmet is on my head I'm ready to score I play for fun I love to play this way.


Frost

By Noah Gomes I taste the warm and dark oak tree's maple leaves in the dark dark blue sky and the soft blanket of snow on the meadow I smell the warm and burning, hot wood in the cold cold winter day I touch the soft oak tree's leaves the rough oak leaves I see the tree like a dark piece of wood. The leaves as green as the grass in the meadow The meadow is the tree's home In the cold cold winter month I hear the children climbing the dark brown branch of the beautiful oak tree Crack, smash, chop the wind swiftly Hitting the crinkly leaves that feel like sand and hitting the weak branches of the dark dark dark oak tree


A Squirrel’s Life By: Angus Harrison

In the summer we run, Have all the fun we want No worries of food running low, For we have months to go When the fall comes, We all fight for food, As the cold air shivers my fur Acorns acorns acorns, That's all what matters now Now I get bundled for a long Winter nap In the winter, Nothing happens at all. No noises to be heard For I dream of the summer months. Finally sleeping for months, Something tells me to wake. Now the spring is here! For I can be happy At last Now the winter won't come For a while. A year has gone by, And I can't wait for Next year!

Crackling Fire By: ​ Ian Hendrix

The fire burns all day and night and shines in my face like a big ball of light The crackling fire is the sound of a bag of chips that have just been opened Crackling fire is the smell of toasted smoky marshmallows being chomped right in front of my face CHOMP! You can see it from a mile you can see from the camp red, yellow, brown, and orange all of the colors that make the blazing bold broad Crackling Fire


My Friend is... By Ian Herrera

Poetry hides where my mind is. Poetry is spinning constantly just like my mind poetry hides in the steamy weather of Naples, Florida. To me poetry is past, present and future. When poetry starts, the possibilities will never end. At different times of the day when my mood has changed, poetry has moved on too. Poetry are moods in every way. Poetry is my friend, we do what we want together. Poetry is like a firework popping freely through my brain. Poetry is like a door, knocking every beat. Poetry is colors of food I like to eat.


Tired by Will Hesp

I am really, really tired. My name is just Bob, I just got fired. At my new gotten job. I cooked myself dinner A 12 day old fish. I wish it was finer, but got only one dish. I just got in bed, It was really a heap. I think I hit my head, I’m going to sleep. Today was a really long fight. Everyone, good night, good night!


Look For Poetry By Ben Howard

Poetry Hides Under my pillow squirming around all day all night. Poetry Hides Outside my window flowing happily flying with the birds. Poetry Hides Under my desk circling my legs tickling them. Poetry Hides In my food getting In my mouth tasting funny. Poetry Hides in my book grabbing me pulling me closer and closer. Poetry Hides in my hair pulling And tugging till it falls on my paper. Poetry Hides on everyone and everything but we never look close enough to see it clearly.

Race Car By Mikey Mcgee

If the fastest car goes one way. You don't have to go that way. If everyone goes that way. You don't have to go that way. The fastest way is not always the best way. Your way is the best way. You can go any way you want. The way everyone else goes is not the way you have to go. The fastest way is not always the best way.


A Poems Place By Colin Mealey

I find a poem in a machine waiting for me and when I do it pounces, jumps and leaps into my mind. I find a poem in the rich sap of a maple tree fresh and cold straight from the tree. I find a poem in the kitchen sink waiting hopefully for a refreshing waterfall. I find a poem in a mountain covered by mist hiding from me. I find a poem in an ocean That flows into my mind. I find a poem in a game waiting for a winner to Congratulate.


Fresh, Juicy Fruits By Bharath Palanisamy

I am from the button clicking ​ click, click, click on my video game controller, I am from the smell of fresh fruits in my garden, I am from the big loud footballs thrown by my neighbors, I am from the games my cousins and I play for fun, I am from the pasta I make with my mom when I'm hungry. I am from the quiet sensation of my house shhh, shhh, shhh ​ it says when it's loud, I am from my mom’s closet with her relatives gifts which always brings memories. The most important part of me is my family.


Marlin

By Manny Pereira

Blue, White, Striped All of them I have caught But the meat can be bought No matter how hard they fought They were caught.


Just Because By Jack Renaud

Just because one is better, You shouldn't back down. Just because you've Walked the world, Doesn't mean you should stop. Just because it takes a year at least you got to do it. Just because you don't have enough, To make it to the top Do your best and never ever stop.


Light Blue By: Caldwell Ian Reynolds

When I think of light blue, I​ feel​ like it is raining or snowing. It also makes me ​ feel​ like I am back in a classroom, hearing​ the “​ sreeeech​ ” of the Expo Markers. Light Blue is the ​ sound​ at the beach, when the waves crash. Light Blue ​ is​ the color of the sunset, Light Blue ​ is​ a lighthouse, bright and a hero for other colors. In the Winter, Light Blue​ is ​ the snow, cold, heavy. Light Blue ​ is​ coldness, in the air, all around us Light Blue ​ smells​ like snow and the beach, two different things, but they both ​ smell​ the same. Light Blue ​ tastes​ like milk, very smooth, rich, light blue ​ is​ water So if you take a moment to look around, you might just ​ feel, see, hear, taste, and smell light blue.


The Invisible Squid By Grant Richmond

The invisible squid the invisible squid, Creeps up on an unsuspecting kid. The kid turns around when he hears a sound. But doesn't see anything Except for a little bug without one wing. Because of course the invisible squid is invisible (Why else would he have invisible in his name?) But the only thing that he HATES about himself Is that the invisible squid a powerful, invisible, creature, has a shadow!


The Ocean By Alastair Rose

White waves while windy, Sparkly while sunny. You spot out the fish you want to catch, And you drop your line in, Waiting for a bite, It strikes you are suddenly alert, As you grab the rod the line spins out, You yank hard and the fish eases its grip. The fish pops up its head and you yank and bring it to the boat, It is a monster 6 feet long, Big teeth, And weighs 110 pounds. Dinner.

Delight

By: Luke Travaglini

Delight is the furry thing that wakes me up every morning licking, growling, and barking Who sniffs, runs, and plays Sure she makes mistakes But she makes up for it When she turns over and lets me give her a belly rub Words I can’t describe how cute and loveable she is With her black nose and pink tongue When I walk in the door It’s a cute and furry blur she’s going one way Then another When it comes to the end of the day I sleep with her sleeping right by my side


Poetry Hides in the Middle of a Black Hole By Halsey Tyler

Poetry hides in a notebook Where all the exciting poetry Clues are, to make it the Best it can be. Poetry hides in the middle Of a black hole, to discover What's on the other side. Poetry hides when I'm Skiing down the mountain, Skidding happily on icy paths, Feeling the cool breeze. Poetry hides looking out The window, watching The rain fall from the sky Plat, plat, plat.
