Where I'm From
I am from markers and glue,
to blankets and chairs.
I am from dying peas to
towering pines.
I'm from frogs in red solo cups
to melting chocolate ice cream.
From scrubbing floors to
strange concoctions.
I am from great grandma Marjorie to
adoring grandma Betty.
I'm from summer wings and wind to my face.
From friends to family in a chest of
hope,
this is where I'm from

I want to write a poem,
I am not so skilled,
But I write a few words
And I'm so thrilled!
Then I suck my pen,
Thinking of some words,
I think it's magical
'Cause words flock my mind like birds!
I think I've formed enough words,
I give them a quick glance,
Oh, wow, it seems magical,
Because I created a poem by chance!

Artsy Days
What to do on
a fun day like this.
Can I draw a face?
It is always talking
to me at a pace.
What to do? What to do?
Draw draw draw! I say!
Scritch scratch goes
the pen.
Art, art, art!
I will draw
while I
am saying sorry.
I will
draw anything in the galaxy!

Do you have nightmares? I do. A LOT!
I dream of monsters, of clowns and huge eagles.
The dark, wolves and creatures with big claws and beady eyes.
Do you have dreams? I do. A LOT!
I dream of candy lands, princesses and fairies.
Flowers, ponies and sparkly necklaces.
Let's just say I dream AN AWFUL LOT!

On a sunny afternoon,
Ron saw the moon.
It was delighting,
and very enlightening.
For he was Ronniekins.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Trash is dumped
and so are you.
Nash, age 14, USA
I pass the roses, you pass the heat
And then I come from beneath
I hear you scream for my help
All you do is shout and yelp
When I am there to give you advice
Then you roll a double dice
Jami, age 9, USA
Friendship is meant for me and meant for you
That's all we really do
We share our thoughts and feelings with each other
And we tell how we feel about one another
Jami, age 9, USA

My Cat Autumn
I have a cat named Autumn,
She is grey and white.
Her paws are black,
It looks like she's wearing shoes
Samantha, age 8, USA
Roses rare red
Violets are blue
I love pizza
and I'm sure you love it too.
