remember

remember first grade
remember that question
remember the answer
remember this
remember that
nothing makes sense
not to remember
remember or not
remember magic
remember dreams
remember life
take it seriously

A stare

To stare into the world
no not the world
life
to stare at life with no voice
to stare at life with no heart
to stare at life with no meaning
but with so much thought
a blank of silence
not to leave
a never ending mind
a forgotten dream.

Darkness

a light place
a ghost
the darkness
is our earth
nothing without it
too many suns
one darkness
one to be in
one to dream about
to think about
to sing
about a falling dream
into the darkness
the lightness
of darkness
not to make sense
not to lie
not to hope
to feel nothing
to feel everything
in the dark world
the one place
that is everywhere.

sleep

to kiss the sun goodbye
to chase the moon
a problem never to be solved
a piece never to be sung
a dream of love
a dream of a voice
singing to one
in the world
to me
a father for one
a mother for one
a blanket for every cold child
a place to work out my problems
a place to not be afraid
kept inside
a place to enjoy
a place to die or not
a place for me
for you
for everyone to remember their dream.

Fire

My heart melts into my flames
sorrow
as fire builds to mind
thought rushing to me
as I can hear nothing
but my heart beat
The warmth of my the fire
but I know is not true what is warm is
Ice cold
The eye of a crystal
The voice of my own
The laugh of nothing to say
The wait
The wanting to say
Fire
fire for nothing but to watch
But to close to die
To remember that nothing
nothing makes sense
when in fire
nothing to understand about writing

The Baseball Bat

The baseball bat

sitting in the grass

glistening from the sun

untouched

it is a beautiful day

hope

hope is in the

not the kind of hope where I hope I finished my home work

but the kind of hope where I hope I can succeed

not the kind of hope where I hope I can win

but the kind of hope where I hope I can do well

not the kind of hope where I hope I can actually finnish this poem

but the kind of hope where I hope I can write a poem

the hop means something to everyone

Honesy

Honesty is word of truth,
It's a seed that will never die,
My tongue tingles when I tell a lie,
I know that I am still in my youth,
But honesty is so important that it's crazy,
No one should be lazy while telling the truth.

Darkness

The big black hole of darkness, the gap fills my insides, who cares? ME

Mother loads the truck

Evergreen fly away, darkness fills my soul

Always

Always the winter breeze
the sweet sunshine
Always the love of family
the emerald moonlight shining through my window
Always the baby learning how to smile and walk
the tiny new little feet hitting the wooden floor
Always waking up combing my hair then brushing my teeth
the sweet minty glimmers of white
Always the safest place to go
the innocent sweeps my mind
the bad dies and fades away, always

The Past

The Past can be a walk down memory lane
or a swim down the river of sadness.
So many things wanted, so many abandoned.
The big closet overflowing with old wonders of the past. Many stories never told, stuffed animals never played with as the future ahead comes forward
Everything is the past.
You can try and try to stop the bad things coming your way, but they will never stop.
As the past is a black hole of never ending darkness of things you always wanted but now are forgotten.
You are forgotten.
Lost in the big, mysterious, slow world of the past.

Unlucky

How did all those people with broken legs get so lucky?

A few years ago I wanted a broken leg.

Say that's weird, but I always wanted a pair of shiny crutches to hop on, and a white cast that people could sign.

It might tend to get annoying at times, considering the fact that I would have to sit out for P.E. and no sports or ballet for me.

I know all of the bad points of having a broken leg ,but I still wanted to try a broken leg at least just for a day.

Now, I am grateful that I don't have a broken leg. I wouldn't want all the great opportunities that I need two legs for to go down the drain!

Braces

As I wake up all I think is I wish I had braces
as I walk down the street and see people with braces
all I think is I wish I had braces
as I look out the window and see someone with braces
all I think is I wish I had braces
as I read a book about a kid with braces all I think
is I wish I had braces
as I fall asleep all I think I wish I had braces
now I'm older and now I don't braces
and how do you even brush your teeth with braces

Time Passes

As I see time passing by, I see things dying, and faces passing by.

I see the words being made and words turning into slang.

Things will be forgotten but never what you love.

--Levi

Arizona
The coldness of the water
the sun shining so bright
the sound of splish
splash in the pool
me and my cousins
playing marko palo
me getting tagged
by my cousin hannah
nothing to wory about
everyone just swimming
with a little bit of
courieosity
and streghth.

Down the stairs

Down the stairs

Just waking up,sleepiness
filling my eyes.Heading
out of my room of harmony
to eat and see my friends.
As I leave I trip on my beautiful
black and white husky with his
brown eye and blue eye closed.
I wake him up with a start
and I am flying about to
hit the stairs he runs under me
as I see horror of almost crashing.
Thanks to him, I made it down the
stairs safely.

--Jayden

The green blue bright

colors is what drew me

in nothing else.

I wanted braces, those

cool colors and big metal

things on your teeth so 

cool I used to think.

but ever since I learned

how  annoying they were 

and how weird they look

I don't want them at all

any more.

Brainiac

My Past. Honestly, being the grade brainiac for

4 years is and is not fun. The good part is that

the work is really easy but when you end up sitting

there for 48 hours listening to babble about the

circulatory system is not fun. Things are

especially boring when you have to do these

worksheets that literally take up %25 of your

day. They might be boring to some people,

but they are super boring to me 'cause I still

waste %15 of my day for a stupid worksheet that

doesn't even matter that much. My past may

seem fun but it sometimes it isn't. My past.

Cast

When I was 5-6 years old I wanted a cast.

I always wanted to have a cast on my leg.

I wanted it so badly I Almost broke my leg on pourpuse.

I ended up braking my arm.

True Friend

She holds me high and never drops me

She has golden sparkling hair and blue jays eyes

She will never tell a lie

Whatever she does she will never fail me

I trust

We trust

That is a true friend

She has the gods and angels with her

guiding her

showing her the path to light

Love is swarming her heart

That is a true friend

Ipod

I have always wanted a Ipod, I saw people walking around with them and I didn't even look I wanted one so bad.
I saw my friends getting them and everybody getting them.
I prayed to my mom and dad, I could never stop bothering them it must have been horrid for them.
I even asked my sister.
and when I finally got one... it was my cousin who got me one.
In the end I got a shuffle, it got boring after a while but I still listen to it.
I am still grateful I got one.

Some Time Ago

I gurgled up sand
wearing bare skin,
making high castles
and stirring crunchy
shakes.
I rolled around hoping
my mother
would not tell me to wash my hair.
I hopped on the cold water,
feeling my sugar rush
slither down my spine.
I liked my sand box.

Past

In the mothers belly

It was a fantasy to see the real world.

A little sister

Back than in my younger days I always felt unlucky.

When I was little I always wanted a little sister.
I just wanted a girl to play with me when I was bored
and do fun stuff together. I thought we would rarely get in fights
and we would always get along. Every night I thought about having
that little sister and think about the things we could do together.

One of my old friends when I was younger has two little sisters.
I thought she was the luckiest person in the world. Than once my
mom got pregnant, I was so happy. I thought I was finally going to have
a little sister. Guess what, my mom came home with my little brother, a
stinky old brother.

Now that I'm older I think about me having a little sister. Now I think that's
not what I wanted and I would consider having a little sister as unlucky. I now
like having a little brother, even though he can be annoying, obnoxious, and
way more, he can still be the nicest person in the world.

Now I always feel lucky.

The Past

The past.

The stream of sadness.

knowing that I could never have just one house

switching week by week

no more dog

that bone that he choked on was all he needed

2+2=4

well thats how many parents I have now

it started out as just 2

but 4 is much different

the sad trickles down my back

I tell myself if they're happy, I should be happy

but it'd hard.

If you were me you would know

four different opinions every day

it's hard

I would know

Surviving My Past

When I was 9 or 10 I went to the ocean with my grandpa.
We were having a blast when A huge wave got me and I would have drowned in the ocean if my grandpa didn't save me.
I don't now why people think grandpas are not fun,because they are fun.

Past

When I was younger I went swimming in the ocean
well that was before I saw jaws.
Every time I turn around I collide with the sound
waves of my parents telling to come closer. All
of this stuff happened before a real wave came
up behind me and collided with my back.
I tumble around underwater for a moment,
get up and run to my parents. Not much later I
watch Jaws and never go swimming in the ocean
without being scared again.
I'm not so sure why I watched Jaws.

The Caterpillar Tree, In Grandpa's Backyard

At Grandpa's old house, in the warm summer backyard,

as the sun was setting, was the beloved caterpillar tree, being played and laughed about.

We would all climb, play and touch on the growing glorious tree.

The big, fat, fuzzy caterpillars were crawling all over that thing.

It was as if the tree had glue on it and none of the caterpillars could get off.

We would stand so your eyes were at the caterpillars point of view,

 and stick our finger right in front of their soft, flimsy, little bodies, 

hoping they would crawl on to our fingers.

If they did, their sticky little body would cling to our finger, as we giggled about, not able to stand the tickling sensation. 

Don't squirm too much, or the poor thing will tumble to the grass, only to land and start slithering away again.

I'll never forget the way those caterpillars inched about, at Grandpa's old house.

The Ride of Terror

The ride of death,

the never-ending terror

the highest I have ever been

That was what I thought...

Then I experienced it...

I wait,

the straps tighten securely around my body,

the risk takes flight,

Then something happens...

Boom!

I swish, I fly,

shock goes through my body,

thrill runs down my spine,

the wind rushes through my hair,

I zip past the world,

I fly,

my stomach tightens,

I feel the drop,

I run across everything,

The dare devil in myself creeps out,

I rush past your old self,

I can feel the difference,

Mr. Thriller

I feel unstoppable,

until the strike,

the roller coaster stops,

I walk away a new person

The Past

The past
A cold breeze
A snowy pasture
The past plays in the fields of joy
Happiness is a spirit
Books tell tales I tell magic
Rainbow is a myth
God is my humble apprentice
It all starts here
New York city is my garden
The past

When I was about 5 or 6 I always wanted braces because I thought that they would make you a wizard. I have no idea why I thought that but when I was 9 I got braces and I totally regret saying that I wanted braces because my teeth hurt the whole time.

Shades

When I was little I recall my brother wearing shades all the time. I wanted to be just like him. So I asked my dad if I could have a pair. He said "sure,why not." I discovered when I got older why would I ever want to be like him. To this day I hate wearing all types of glasses.

Around The Time

So clumsy for falling on all the glass tables and falling off the tall platforms I could find. I used to always want braces , and me and my friends would always talk about what color we wanted. I would be so happy 24.7 , and I would ride my pink razor in the house, watch t.v everyday at 4:00 and last of all look at my mom's daisy's in the kitchen everyday when I got home from school.

Glasses

When I was, oh six or so I would have

loved to have had glasses,

so mysterious making things seem so much,

closer, and so I asked my dad if I by any chance,

could have a pair of glasses, he asked why I needed them,

I said that everything seemed the least bit blurry,

so he took me to the glasses shop,

and I got a pair of glasses, and from the very second,

I put my glasses on,

I have ever since hated wearing glasses.

Shades of the Past...

I used to want shades for my life.

I thought I would look like a mysterious shadow lurking in darkness.

No one would see my eyes. My identity would be secret.

Now that's all over. I come out of the shadows and into the light.

All the darkness is in the past.

I'm Thankful for...

Faith, but the feeling
of a friend fading away,
the anger in a family,
food, water and earth
given to us,
Peace, and hope in the
air, care, supported,
happiness, greatful, and
forgiveness, tall trees,
the moon shinning bright
as day, supported mom, dad,
sisters, brothers, teachers and
friends, this all means
you have...
LIFE, LIBERTY
and most of all...
LOVE.

my pencil during poetry class but I do it anyway and get a look on my face that I call guilt.

Live your life slow and dont speed it up and you could find the hiden sweets in your life. Live your life till it is complete. Most of all im thankful for being thankful.

The Truth

As you watch Joy be joyful because
she finally got a job at target
and as you watch jealousy be jealous
because she sees a woman walk out
of Macy's with a long warm fur coat
and you see pain be in pain because
he fell of of his bike in Golden Gate Park
and you see fear jump away for an
oak tree screaming like a little school girl
just because a little chipmunk
and you see anger get mad at a old
woman just because she was feeding
duck's with bread crumbs
and you watch confusion be confused
because he sees a man singing Let It Be
over and over and over again
and that's when you know you know
the truth.

Boredom

Boredom plays golf
in the Bahamas.
He hates golf
He would rather be
sleeping in the hotel
Room. But his evil
wife pleasure made
him get his big fat
fanny of his chair
and go play golf.
He's positive she's
trying to get a massage
while he's playing golf

Lucky

Be lucky to have puppies and dogs , tacos , lime green , body, echoes of activity's, surprise, life , roller coasters , the age of seventeen, music, time, hot pink, bubbles, shopping, food, technology, sculpting a yellow banana in mid December who knows is that lucky or is all of this a dream in my lucky cozy bed it all just leads to truth and truth's answer was, don't dreams come true????

Gratitude

I have everything, and nothing

I have life, hands, toes,

I have what I have been taught

I have my finger nails to protect

my smooth under finger.

I will never lose my air

it will come in,

and then it will go back out,

try and try but unless you wish to die,

that is the natural flow.

I have my for longing gratitude for blue jays,

so calm.

Gratitude is something key and simple,

needed to life a happy life.

The brain is so helpful,

your own personal storage room for educational thoughts.

Legs and muscles are as helpful as life itself,

for If you didn't have them life would be seen from an unchanging

view from the ground.

Ears, without these wonder filled objects,

life would be shrouded with a muted sheer of darkness.

Without you ears, fun slips out of life.

Eyes are another great part of life,

eyes let you see the wonderful sights,

such as Niagara falls, and much much more.

Legs, arms, eyes, ears, life grants us so much.
