__//**Here is the poetry I have been doing in class, enjoy :D **//__ = I am a child = I am all the things of my past: My mothers thinking and my fathers looks. I am all I see: The moon chasing us as we speed down the road, and me playing in a playdogh factory making lots of mess. I am all I hear: The rain being dumped on the hard tin roof, and the scream of people on a very scary ride. I am all I feel: Cold money in my hand on a summer's day, waiting in line, and sticky water stuck inside my jandal. I am all I taste: The fresh salty chips from a newspaper package, and a sweet pink topped cupcake wrapped in a white cup. I am all I remember: Swimming on the palm filled coast of Hawaii, and the wind brushing along me standing on a skyscraper. I am all I have been taught: To play C major on the piano, to use a fork to eat, instead of hands. I am all of these things. Secrets deep down inside of me. I am a caterpillar and all these things are my cocoon. But, one day, I will emerge and break free, and become a man of the world.



=Remember= Remember the rain dancing on the tin roof and the brown murky mud puddles sitting on the grass That was Winter

Remember the marshmallows floating in the piping hot cocoa and the warm heater glowing in the corner That was Winter

Remember the strong flashes of lightning and the low **grumbling** thunder soon after That was Winter

Remember the rain pattering on the window and the guinea pigs squeaking in fright That was Winter =Remember= = =

=Remember= Remember the chill of ice-cream running down my throat and the hot summer breeze whipping around us That was Summer

Remember the salty waves crashing over us and waiting for the right moment to destroy our sand castles That was Summer

Remember the fresh sandwiches waiting in the chilly bin and the sting of sand blowing in our eyes That was Summer

Remember our body boards blowing in the breeze like a kite and the wiz of life guards patrolling the beach That was Summer =Remember=



//Here are some 'word picture' poems .//
__ Fog __

The fog comes on little cat feet.

It sits looking Over harbor and city On Silent haunches And then moves on.

Carl Sandburg

__ The Dingy __

The dingy sways The dingy rocks Underneath the gleaming moon.

The little bell Ringing like mad, The boat like a fish In a very big pond.

__ The Jelly Bean __ The jelly bean sits The jelly bean waits, Waiting to get chomped on Just like his mates.

There was a guy from Argentina Who liked his grass much greener He got some dye But started to cry If only the dye was cleaner!
