Mr. Shower by Anjali D

Mr. Shower

Mr. Shower got a cold,

Though he tried to be bold,

He couldn’t spray any water

So the people stayed dirty,

Till they were thirty

And then the shower got better,

By sending a letter,

To the plumber.

Leaving

Goodbyes are the worst

Although welcomes are better,

Goodbyes have to be.

Hello

Is hard for someone who's shy

Parties are painful

You sat down next to me

Started talking 

Made everything easier with one word

Home by Anjali D.

Home

Soft pitter patting of feet

Loud noises of pots and pans

Nice, lush carpets

The fridge that always warms up

Soft warm lights

A secret chest filled with surprises

Smells of delicious baked food

Homework rustling to get done

Outrageous meows from my big-mouthed cat

Cushions are soft,

Trashes are smelly,

But there is happiness in this house

Or at least most of the time.

sssssssssssssss

I remember when I got my cat by Lydia G.

I remember when I got my cat

I remember when I got my cat. He had sharp little claws, black and grayish fur, green eyes, long whiskers, and fuzzy ears. He was fluffy and soft. He loved to play with all of his new toys we had got him. When he went to bed he would purr during his sleep. When he went outside he would chase different animals.

STRAWBERRIES! by Lydia G.

STRAWBERRIES!

               By: Lydia G.

My favorite snack is strawberries! They’re red and have little seed with green leaves. When you bite them they are quiet. They smell sweet and ripe. They taste sweet. They feel soft and juicy. If they had a superpower it would be after you eat them you can jump super high! Strawberries are my favorite snack.

Fezziwig

By Janie M.

I remember when I would use my dog, Fezziwig, as a pillow. When I was playing with my dolls and stuffed animals my dog would lay right next to me, just watching. Then, when I was starting to get tired, I would grab a stuffed animal and I would lay my head on his stomach till I fell asleep.

I remember learning to ride a two wheeler. by Katherine C.

I remember learning to ride a two wheeler.

By: Katherine C.

I was riding my bike, and my dad said it was time to take off those training wheels. A few days later, I tried riding my bike without the training wheels. We have a sand driveway so it was hard to learn to ride a two wheeler. I was so shaky, I said ‘’ don’t let go.’’ My dad thought was getting the hang of it. So he let go, but I did not want him to. I was half way down the driveway, when I slipped and the handle bar went into my stomach. I still have the scar. I was in tears, and I was so mad he had let go. I said ‘’I am never riding my bike again!!!’’ I screamed and stomped into the house. In about week, I got back on that two wheeler and I learned how to do it. Now I really love to bike!

I remember getting my dog Lulu - by Morgan W

I remember getting my dog Lulu. She was small and very cute. We went to Boston to meet her and then a week later my Dad went to pick her up. She was very nervous at first, but then she became crazy! I love my dog Lulu.

I REMEMBER WHEN............... By: Sara J

I REMEMBER WHEN...............

                                         By: Sara J

                    I remember when my little brother was born. 

When my mother told me I was going to have a little brother, I cried. I cried because I had wanted a little brother soooooooooo badly and I cried because I didn’t want one ether. Now that he is born I regret saying that or even thinking about it. Camy is the sunshine in my life, he makes me happy when I am crying. I also remember my nana saying this on the boat to Boston to see my mom,”I hope you remember everything that is happening right now, because I want you to remember this for your whole life.”

 

 It was a hard time for me. My mom had gone up to Boston two weeks before her due date(so she could be safe) and she lived with my aunt for the two weeks.

Two days before her due date she was called in to the hospital for a check up. The doctors thought she was having him, so my dad drove up to her, but it was a false alarm. My dad stayed in Boston with my mom, so I stayed on the island with my nana and papa. They had come a month earlier to help my mom, fortunately they were there to take care of me.

 My nana and papa drove up to the hospital and I got to see my little baby brother. I was so excited to see my mom too because I hadn’t had seen her in two weeks!

               And so that’s the story of when my little brother was born.

Goldfish by Sara J.

Goldfish

              “The snack that smiles back, Goldfish!!!”

                            By: Sara J.

My favorite snack, would have to be............. GOLDFISH!!!

I have it every day for snack! It’s my favorite!

It feels rough from the salt and sugar. If you suck on them your tongue starts to feel sore, but they taste.......AMAZING!!!!

They smell cheesy and crackery(whatever that means!).

Then the final test...... tasting!

They taste soooooooooooooooooooooo good they just melt in your mouth. You also have that cheesy after taste, that is delightful!!!!!! : D

 If goldfish could have a superpower, I think it would have to be this: 

If you eat goldfish, it will allow you to go as deep underwater as you want for however long you want. That would be AWESOME!!

Lemon Crisp Cookies

"They feel crumbly and smushy,

It smells like lemon in a nice twisted way.

They look scrumptious, fit for a king,

The sound of tiny 'eat me!'s are emitted from the cookies.

The taste of these delicious cookies are indescribable to man kind."

Almond Milk Moon

I've heard the sound

of the scrumptious
Late at night

the moon full of almond milk

cats circling my feet

I wipe the crumbly sandman 

from my eyes

sit with a plate

of the thing I most appreciate

something sweet

A poem from a friend
