Sunny
squawking parakeet
funny sometimes too
I give him some millet.
He comes in the palm of my hand
he eats right out of my hand
green and yellow all over
some patches of blue around his beak
black eyes
going in his food dish a lot
and he likes to play a lot too

I sled down
water hill
Big blast of cold air
in my face
I can’t stop
myself.
Until the sled stops
I got so
much speed that
I jump
over the
road
it is all ice.
I jump so high and
far
I just about hurt
myself because.
I was a few
feet off of
hitting.
A big frozen ice ball
that would been
dreadful.
Now I have to
walk back
up the hill.
which is the
worse because
it’s a steep
hill.
The snow is
really deep that
makes it feel like
I have lead
boots on.
-Andrew K.
I’m walking
from class to class.
I see all the colorful shrits
of the rainbow.
People chatting,
locker doors slamming,
sounds like
bombs droping
from the sky.
Lots of gray,
blue,
occasionally
some black.
The three lonely
colors of the rainbow.

Dust bunnies
Thousands more
wait to pour
from the clouds
I look from
the kitchen window,
I feel their
cold, find their
bitter-sweetness,
and wish these
bunnies
were warm blankets
But I forever
praise their cold,
and that
they’re distant
from
the world
-Cyrena
She’s always on the top,
or on Dad’s shoulder.
She doesn’t mind me,
but she won’t go on me.
Mom may not live with us,
yet she comes over all the time.
We try to get her to like Mom,
but she will only bite.
She likes me.
“Hello!” is always her loving greeting.
She can’t say, “I love you.”
but I know she does.
“Boomer,
please,
please don’t go in jail,”
I say
as she moves toward the inside of her cage.

I just realized
I lost my money.
Somehwere out their,
is my money.
Knowing I won’t stop until
I get my money
Showing no emotion.
Generally I get mad
and throw a fit,
but today
it’s going to be a breeze.
Inferring where it is,
monitoring,
connecting with different sources,
no luck, and I was so
determined.
My mom my brother and my sister tried talking to me
but I was carless.
I really desired that green papered leaf.
My money is
IRRETREVABLE!
I thought I would never find those presidents again,
my mullah was gone forever.

I wake up to the sound of crickets in the grass
the chill in the air
I make breakfast
we eat and give the rest to Casey
we watch and wait for the coolness, mist, and sun
to rise from the pond.
We then grab the kayaks
~I get in the green one~
I push off the sandy bottom
just as Lori cannon balls in
I glide past the lily pads
where I know fish and frogs are hiding
I see Dad and go to say hi
as I wait for Lori to yell, “Help, Help! (giggle, giggle)”
now knowing our friends are here
I head back
they tip me over
laughing.
We walk around the pond to our favorite spots
the little bridge~ where imagination wonders
over to catch leopard frogs
then we start to head back to camp
we linger
trying find something keep us here longer
we go eat lunch and swim
then sadly we leave
but knowing we will be back again soon.

It wasn’t ordinary
over at my friend’s house
their sister was having a party.
With family and friends.
I was invited.
As usual my friend’s
were playing video games
with family members.
When we got bored,
we went outside to play.
It started to rain.
That didn’t stop us
from having fun.
We got out some skateboard’s.
It was fun
in the cold rain,
it had a dirt smell
that stung my nose every time I sniffed.
That still didn’t stop us from having fun.
After a bit the rain came down harder,
but we went down the hill-
lots of fun skateboarding
in the rain.
The rain started to feel like hail,
so it got difficult
to ride straight down, and
we fell off.
The boards went into the ditches.
The rain halted.
We stood motionless hoping
the rain would continue.
It didn’t, so we started to head back.
About half way there
started to haze rain.
on the horizon
we could see a huge rainbow.
It was a party after all.

One day I was I really was
cleaning out my closet
I found
some untied shoes
a shirt with a bleach stain
so I threw it in my trash
and said I am done with
IT!

When I ride
I feel strong.
The horse feels
like it’s just us.
When I ride
the wind blows
in our face.
You can tell
that we love it.
Bugs are our only problem.
When I ride I feel like
my mom.
She loves horses
just like me.
I also feel sad
because of my old horse
Molly.
We sold her because we had no place to put her.
When I ride
I feel like a champion.
The horse looks happier than ever.
When I ride
I think I will fall
Until.
I have to go inside.
I wonder what it would be like if….
We still had Molly.
