  Fish! A sea of green, An ocean breeze, Have you ever wanted to be a rabid fish? Just a tiny rabid fish in the sea, Eating plants in the ocean Swimming among the plants is a shark, His name is sha-nae-nae, He has a pet eraser named Edwargo, Who belonged to a girl named Claire, Claire has a pet bunny, The bunny’s name is Charlie, He lives in a tree, He shares the tree with the llama, The llama likes to eat bricks, So he is called Bricks, One day, Bricks ate a brick that exploded, So Bricks is no more, Because after he exploded, He was eaten by a squirrel This squirrel was able to fly, Able to fly like a bird, This magical squirrel was friends with a pelican, Who liked to eat glowing worms.

  The Girl andThe Bee There once was a girl and a bee, They once got stuck up in a tree, So they sang a silly song, But they got the lyrics wrong, I’m just glad that girl wasn’t me. Rain She scraped her leg and was in pain, Limericks So she went and stood in the rain, She changed her shirt, And put on a skirt, Then rode a horse with a pretty mane. Cats There once was a bat and a rat, They both thought that they were cats, So they joined with a gnome, And they traveled to Rome, They traveled to there in an orange hat.

  Pork!! There was an old man from New York, Who had an allergic reaction to pork, So they sent him up north, Then again to New York, He got better so then he ate a cork. The Goat A cow and a snake and a goat, Were once floating around in a boat, More The old cow has a coke, Limericks The smart goat had slowly wrote, The goat had wrote his note on the boat. My Spondee Poem Boom! Crash! Slam! Wham! She sprinted out the door! Slam! Splatter! Splish! Woosh! She ran through some puddles!

  The Letter There was a girl in a room, She saw all evils within herself, It was a room of many kinds, Yet there were none, A room that resided solely in her She was always pure of heart and of mind, mind, And in it she remained trapped, She was completely open and hon- Trapped with her sorrow and grief, est, She let only one other person in, Except with herself, Although many tried, The only lies were to herself and of She suffered for many years, herself, And she learned to hide it well, She cut but hid the wounds, Few question those with few prob- She cried but only ever alone, lems, She told herself she was horrible, Wish she strived to appear, That was perhaps the greatest lie of Since few pried, all, She didn’t have to try, She never let on that anything was Try to hide her deepest secrets, wrong, Like the voice of the wind, But everything was, Always present, She ended her life out of misery, Yet never there, A continent away, The winds voice teases all, I was too late to save her, Yet it reveals nothing, I alone who knew of her problems, This was how she tried to be, I, who only could have done more, To act like nothing was wrong, I, who should’ve noticed years be- But inside there was naught but fore, chaos, I, who should have asked, Naught but misery, sorrow, grief, Should have wondered, depression, She sent me a letter, Naught that she revealed but to none Telling me how truly sad she was, but one, She wrote about the end, But even what she told must not To be a simple bullet in her head, have been it all, She sent the letter the day she died, She hated herself for all she was, If only she sent it sooner, She saw herself as a corrupt person, Perhaps I could’ve helped. Yet she was pure in heart, She saw herself as ugly, Yet she was beautiful, She saw herself as loquacious, Yet she was a quite as a mouse,

  The Window There she sat, Alone in a room, By the window, Looking out at a tree, Alone with her sadness, With her despair, She watched the birds, All together in their nest, Singing with joy, As they flew away, She longed to be with them, Longed to fly free, She watched the kittens, Alone and abandoned, She felt pity for them, Then she saw the dog, It came up and took care of them, It gave her a spark of hope, She dreamed about the day she would leave, The day she could leave her sorrows behind, She dreamed of a future she couldn’t have, She was there, Trapped in a world of madness, Trapped inside her own head, Never able to leave, To leave her world of sadness, She had to endure it alone.

  Sugar Roses are red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet, And so are you, But now the sugar bowl is empty, Just like your head, See, this is why you just can’t trust guys, Why you must look past the disguise, At first they’re sweet, But then they’re not so neat, Most are stubborn and selfish, For them it’s all just an act, If you keep looking, You might find one that’s just for you, One that’s sweet like sugar, And has a true heart and a head.

  Ode to Nature Bears brawling, Canaries calling, Dragons dreaming, Frogs Flying, Horses hollering, Lions leaping, Lizards lying, Monkey’s money, Narwhales napping, Rhinos running, Zebra’s zippers.
