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!

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.

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
