Marla Austin Poems 2007-08

I sit in my  roomto the loud
thud and boom of my stereo.
listening to my favorite music
hearing the rap beats play.
As I switch the song
I decide what to listen to next-
what beat do I want to hear?
The song “I get Money” by 50 cent?
Reminds me of my money.
The song”My Band” By Eminem?
Reminds me of my friends.
The song”Money in the Bank” By lil’scrappy?
I like it because it has a good beat
The song “Pop Bottles” By lil’Wayne?
I like it because it has good bass?
The song “YAHHH!” by Soulja Boy?
I listen to it when I don’t want to listen to somebody.
Let’s see….
I don’t know-
I think today I will listen to this song
“$I get money$” by 50 cent!
-Ryan P.

It is time for me to calm down.
I had to make this for the game.
I just tied it up,
52-52.
With 2.5 seconds left.

I did my three dibbles,
And then two more.
I glared at the front of the rim.
The black box behind it.
That’s were I will aim.

Then I looked at my coaches,
My team,
And my family.
I dribbled one more time,
And shot.

The ball sailed throw the air.
It was dead on.
I closed my eyes,
And opened my ears.
Then I heard a swish.

I heard  my team yell and scream,
my name.
Tyler,Tyler,Tyler.

I won the the game.
I lifted the trophy over my head.

Tyler it is time to wake up now.
It was a Dream,Just A Dream.
For now.

 -Tyler K.

As I walk out the door,
I smell the summer air.

Mulberry essence fills the air,
with delight.

As I walk down the hill,
I feel the grass poke-up
between my toes.

As the rain settles in,
I know
it’s goingto be
a perfect day.

-Jerry Q

My sister’s cat
is a pest.
He’s annoying,
a nuisance,
a Mr. Chubby Wubby Bubby.

I like Tiger
even though
he can be a nuisance
he is still cute
and adorable.

I love Tiger as
much as all the
Warriors books.
That’s how cute
he is.
I love Tiger.
Tiger, you rock so much.
Go Tiger.
- Summer

My brother,
he is a jerk.
Who wants to fight
too much.
Maybe it is one of those
signs of affection.
Whatever it is,
I probably will
never like it.
But there is no way
to stop it.
physical or vocal,
I’ll just have
to defend myself.

Beep Beep Beep
I wait forthe pause
Beep
we take off.

It is an obstacle course at first
There is striaght away
Then there is a trun
I make a circle.
There is a smaller straight away.

I feels very good
It gets my adrenaline pumping.

Just me and my dad
I think I am going to loose
Actually I know I will loose
Because
He Has a sytem that I can’t beat.
He gets in the top five all the time!
-Dakota

As I crouch down
Waiting for the pitch.
The bases are loaded.
The pitch comes.
It’s a high one.
And I miss it.
The guy on 3rd base runs home.
I grab the ball and run too.
I get there first.
He slides.
And his foot hits my glove.
The umpire calls him out!
My team runs in from the field.
And we celebrate.

-Nathan

It was a very
sunny day.

I went in the
garage and started the
4 wheeler.

I get on and I rode
out of the garage.

I rode as fast
as I can.

It was bumpy I turned as hard
as I could and I pushed the brake.

I pushed the gas and I was trying
to ramp but I missed.

The tire popped and I tried to
push it inside of the garage.

The next day I was caught.
I had to pay with my allowance.
It wasn’t that bad.
the next day was even better
because it was fixed.

I was happy that I wasn’t grounded.
I still could ride.

-DeShawn

When I look in my dog’s eyes,
I see wisdom of six years
of hunting.

When I walk away from him,
after I pet him, he looks at
me with blue puppy brown eyes.

When it’s time to let him
outside, there is a special
sparkle in them.

When I get mad and yell,
I see fear in them,
even  if I’m  not mad
at him.

When he sees another dog
I don’t have to look to tell
they are clouded with aggression.

In my dog’s eyes there are lots
of things.

- Emily

I go out in to the field,
it’s the bottom of the sixth
there are two outs
and the bases are loaded
and we’re up.

Their best hitter is up for bat,
he smacks the ball
and it heads straight for me!

I quickly put up my glove
and the next thing I know
the ball is in my glove,
we’ve won the game!

-Jack V.
