  2. WHAT?!
    Donavan.L.
    we sit and we wonder how the world is going under but we dont know how to worry cuz we run in a hurry to a place were we sit and cry, just waiting till the day we die..... we lie, sigh,cry, ask the question why?.... why were scarred to be heard, with the truth that NEEDS to be blurred... what, what. what is it that we hide inside beside the things that we feel which is real like the truth that blurred and was heard from those who mind to be kind..... to us.... outside..... of our hearts on the world which is under cuz we wonder....... WHAT?!

  3. HAPPINESS

    Happiness uplifts me
    Happiness fills my heart, my mind, and my soul
    Happiness gives me the strength I need
    Happiness is a good feeling that enters my mind each day
    Happiness takes my sadness away
    Happiness fills my eyes with joy
    Happines makes me excited and thrilled
    Happines warms my heart and soul each day
    Happiness gives me a sense of relief each day
    Happiness welcomes me each morning when I get up
    Happiness can be seen in my eyes...

  4. Standing outside my eyes closed burning from the crying. not much to do but just stair. having so much to say but little comes out. But all that comes in minds were the problems we had at home.
    Sitting on the wet grass with the cold air blowing my hair, thinking about why was i crying in the first place...I have forgotten everything that happened in the past moments that past.

  6. Cheated!

    What should I do when I fell for you?
    What should I do when the love I gave you left when you cheated on me?
    What should I do when I found out you mooched on some dude?
    I felt lonely and depair, knowing you lit someone else's flair.

  7. The Ocean.

    I'm up here, you're down there.
    you look so cold,so blue and clear.
    I want to go swim,i promise i have no fear.
    All those fish,sharks and more.
    I better get a good camera from the store.
    I'm next to you, You're next to me.
    Lets go underwater and take some pictures...shall we?

  8. We can hear the earth roar and rumble
    As innocient people are scared and stumble
    The tragedy is over,but not the fear
    but wait is anyone...anyone hear???
    You can hear the ambulance coming
    but all you see are bees that are buzzing
    The sky above is very shady
    The earthquake here that happened in Haiti

  14. My eyes, so bloodshot, so red, so.....
    I lie here, paralyzed, cant move, cant see.
    I cry nothing but bloody red tears.
    You look at me, I look at you, and all i do is cry because it hurts so much inside.
    I love you, but do you love me?
    If not, just please, let me be free...

  15. Music is life
    Music is the rhythm to the beat
    Music is what brings us together
    Music is the beat to dancing
    Music is the cherry on top of your ice cream
    Music is what we know and
    Music is what u see in me

  16. EVERY TIME.... EVERYTHING

    EVERY TIME I SEE YOU I WANT TO CRY
    EVERY TIME I SEE YOU I GET MAD
    EVERY TIME I SEE YOU WITH SOME ONE ELSE I GET JEALOUS
    EVERY TIME YOU SAY U LIKE ME I DONT BELIEVE YOU
    I HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU
    YOU SHOULD FORGET ABOUT ME TOO
    EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS NUTHING NOW
    AS RITE NOW EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS A LIE
    EVERYTIME I SEE YOU I SART THINKING IF YOU HAVE FORGETTEN ABOUT ME

  17. A Friend

    Accepts you as you are
    believes in you
    calls you just to say hi
    invites you over
    raises your spirits
    yells when you won't listen and
    zaps you back to reality..!!

    Never great.
    Sumtimes fun ??
    No, my mistake
    I get sleepy
    Itz hard to stay awake
    I start dreamin' of my day
    I wish school was over
    so I can play.......
    I get exicted when the bell rings
    but when the teacher told to stay....
    He asked me
    what did you today??....

  22. a flambé sunset bastes me

    and the tired landscape

    in impossible orange

    as

    long shadows chase the horizon

    into ominous twilight

    and the earth seems to slow down

    for

    a silver dollar moon to peek out

    and climb the black ladder of night

    its aura drowning the twinkling stars



    I listen to small sounds

    of early evening's creatures

    who rustle and scurry to prepare

    for

    another dangerous foray

    into the wonder world

    of urban jungle magic

  26. what is happiness
    when you feel 100 percent
    when you feel life just got better
    when you look inside that special someones eyes
    what is happiness
    not feeling caged in
    when you finally let it out neer your best friend
    what is happiness
    hard to explain
    take laughing with friends
    its all the same

    wont be filled with sadness
    I want you here during the day
    I want you here at night

    wont be filled with horrible visions
    I want you back because i miss you

  29. When i saw you dead in the E.R bed
    I thought about the good times we have shared
    I hope you know we truly cared
    I just cant believe that youy are gone now
    We all cried at your dreadful funeral
    And watched your tribute with great memories
    We watched your casket get laid underground
    And remembered that you wanted to go
    That no more worries and problems were solves
    And no more needles in your skinny arm
    We hope you know we have always loved you
    And we will never forget about you
    We were selfish for having you stay
    And put you through horrible days.

    we shop for clothes and we have great taste,
    until then we never let anything go to waste,
    we txt so much we never get tired,
    but when we stop its like our thumbs are on
    fire.

    the man gives him food and shelter
    in favor the dog gives the man love
    but not a lot of respect,
    so the man trains the dog

  35. sonnet-a poem with 14 lines

    i used a ryhme scheme,A ryhmes with A and B ryhmes with B etc.

    Monroe

    Those crystal like flakes that fall from the sky
    They help me forget, but i cant help but cry
    The flakes leave me a white blanket of snow
    Now i sit here on the doorstep of Monroe
    The house is alone and do is my heart
    but like the priest said,"till death do us part"
    I remember we use to sit together..here
    and you would whisper "I love you" into my ear
    I remember the memories and places we'd go
    Now here I sit on the doorstep of Monroe
    Those crystal like flakes that fall from the sky
    Everyone can see the sparkly tears in my eyes
    I lay down on the white blanket of snow
    and let all the memories go as time goes by slow

    Math

    Math is like life,
    Math is some what easy,
    Math is really boring,
    Math is my last class,
    Math has to many rules,
    Math can include shapes,
    Math is like life.

  37. Sonnet:a poem with 14 lines

    The Sun

    The Sun is bright
    Just like a candle light
    i see you every morning
    But not at night
    You shine like an crystal white
    Your bright is like twilight light
    The birds are singing at the top of tree
    And I'm counting the One,Two,and Three
    As long as you still shining
    We will not stop singing
    By hour of waiting and your fading away
    The birds are flying away as I walk away
    If the day comes that I will not see you ever
    You'll always be in my heart forever...

    summer

    On all my summers i had some fun
    play in the pool and drink in the sun

  40. sonnet poem-14 line poem that usually has an iambic pentameter

    Earth

    Earth is the only place we can live
    Where people, plants , and animals grow
    Theres chinese,african american,mexican,and white
    Also theres males and femalesthats the way we are
    Sunlight and dark in the sky
    Green grass,dirt,and sand on the surface
    Fruits,vegetables,and grain by people farming
    Trees help us out like pencils,books,and paper
    There's lakes,oceans,and beaches
    Also hills,rain,snow,and mountains
    The air we breath in and out everyday
    The animals we see that are beautiful
    The people that are different
    the earth we will all live forever

  42. sonnet poem...14 lines

    i used a rhyme scheme..everyother line rhymes like A line rhymes with B line..goes on and on

    If i'm all alone in a room and it's dark,
    I need a pen, paper and my Fender guitar.
    You said that you would be here soon,
    I didnt think you were gonna be very far
    I sit here writing a song, and waiting for a call.
    Theres no ring, not even a sound, nothing at all
    I need to know where you are, are you safe? are you comming home?
    If i had magic, and if i could, i would totaly make you a clone.
    you told grandma you were gonna have a beer with your friends,
    You had a little too much and unfortunately your life had to end.
    Now were at your funeral and i see you in your casket,
    Mom's holding me whule i touch your hair, and lave beside you some flowers in a small tiny basket.
    It's time to say goodbye, i know ill see your ghost,
    So please drop by sometime, i know ill see your gohst
