Summer

Days away from school
Sleeping in feels so so good
Counting down the days

Softball

Gloves hit the ground
You check the batting order
Dust flies in the air

You step in the box
The pitch is coming in fast
Swing the bat with power

Playing second base
A runner slides into you
While you drop the tag

You wait for the call
Dust settles on the hot field
The ump makes the call

Packing up your bag
The classic game of Softball
Is finally done

Soccer

Goalies defending
While the defense is blocking
And strikers attack

Art

A symbol of you
A creative expression
Genius work of art

Hunger

Hungry so hungry
Stomach grumbles, it is mad
Counting down… time yet?


Hockey

Skating hard, deking
Blades cutting through thin ice sheets
Leaving only lines

SLAP! the puck flying
Through the air, only a blur
A red light ignites

The screaming crowd roars
You feel honored, you feel great
Feeling of victor

Lacrosse

A very quick sport
running fast and cradling
passing and shooting

Cars

There sleek designing
twenty inch chrome spinner rims
black tinted windows

Troubling Television

Watching all day long
Your eyes are glued on the set
So much more to do

Nail Biting

Chewing constantly
No more nails on your fingers
An awful habit

Music

Hear it and relate
Universal Expression
Can create change

Live Act

Yelling for the band
Sweaty fans with hurting lungs
What an awesome night

A Cat’s Personality

Their tail in the air,
Waving through with discontent
Their head held with height.

They prowl through day,
They kill as if in their code,
And a small thing dies.

Back and forth they go,
In and out, through the door,
Clawing at the screen.

Nocturnal nature,
Never coming in when called.
Disobedience.

Sleeping all day long,
Wildness happens often,
Thump, thump, thump, thump, crash.

Hissing at their foe,
Clawing now comes in handy,
Making strange noises.

Following their food,
“Helping” their “masters” too much,
Personal space; gone.

We think we own them.
We think we care for them yet;
They are our masters.

Homework

Piled high with papers,
Three pencils you are in need,
Hours spent and lost.

Black Flies

They nag at your mind,
They annoy all of the time
That is their mission.

Here does come the catch:
The are in dire need of blood,
The only way to live.

Are You Alright?

Bang! A gun fires fast.
A man falls to the hard floor.
“Are you alright sir”

Of course he is not.
The man’s time has all been drained.
Just like that, he dies.

Studying

Long stressful hours
Studying is boring but…
No test tomorrow.

Airplanes

Here is the take off
Chew gum to stop ears from pop
Orbit never knew.

Chair Tipping

Tipping in your chair
Back and forth and back and forth
Boom bang! There she goes.

Beach

Waves crash on the shore
The sun beating down on you
Sand between your toes.

Senryu

Something’s Missing

Passing the blue line
Preparing to take a shot
No puck on my stick

Not This Time

He’s within my view
I prepare to tackle him
He runs away and scores

Whiff

The pitcher throws it
I begin to take a swing
Whiff, strike three, I’m out

Ping-Pong

Ping! Pong! Ping! Pong! Ping…
I don’t pong and fail to score
Starting again, Ping!

LONG CARS RIDES

The road never ends
Going by tree after tree
Dying of boredom

SHOPPING MALLS

So many sales
So little time to see them all
I love shopping

MY LITTLE BROTHER

So much annoyance
In such a tiny person
He drives me insane

RUNNING

My feet are throbbing
Music pounding in my head
My heart is beating fast

Soccer

The game winning goal
the chants of fellow teammates
crowd roaring your name

Dirt Biking

soaring off a jump
the landing impact, victory
gold gleaming medal

Getting a Needle

The anxiety
smell the rubbing alcohol
smooth deep breathing then

The pinch, relief
all the worrying for what,
for only the ache

Dentist

Cavities, fillings,
and drillings these are a few
of my favorite things

Senryu

The Beach
Waves crash against rocks.
Dry sand is soothing on feet.
Laughing with a smile.

Birthday
Big birthday party.
Surprising birthday gifts.
Good birthday presents.

School is Starting
School is beginning.
Rush to buy school supplies.
Pick out new school clothes.

Best Friends
Best friends laughing.
Are there no matter what.
Stay with them for life.

Summer Vacation

Shinning on your face
The sun at its highest point
Clouds come; ruin your day.

Sports

The season begins
When the dreadful school day ends
You head out, uniform on.

End of School

Kids run merrily
Right at the sound of the bell
School is out for now.

Serious Batter

It’s out of the park
You cheer, running around the bases
You realize it’s BP.
