"Eminem" by Gabi

2008-05-09T10:29:00.001-05:00

I luv seeing the poster of u, that I have on my wall

My heart starts to pound every time I hear u sing

If I ever touched u I think I would faint

I just luv the smell of u'r axe, that I would knw if u'r near

I totally luv u'r taste of rap music

Especially u'r song "lose u'r self"

Oh! By the way u'r my favorite rapper!

"My Friend the Clown" by Anabel

2008-05-09T10:17:00.003-05:00

I was at the circus last night
It was really dark it didn't have light
I was so excited because a clown was flying a kite
Then I asked myself how clowns can fly a kite in the night?

When I was getting home I saw someone walking
I went to that person without even talking
He looked really sad like if he was hiking
I told him wait but he still kept walking

It was a clown
He didn't look excited like if he had a crown
His pants were all ripped with color brown
I thought that he wasn't a happy clown

Then he finally stopped and said, "who are you?"
I said, "I am Lou"
Then I said, "who are you?"
He told me his name is Blue.

Then I said, "Why are you sad?"
He said, "because people think I'm bad"
Then I said, "Blue. I like you if you are sad or mad"

I went home because it was too late
My friend the clown was no happy
Everyone is happy
Including me that i made my friend the clown

"War" by Thai

2008-05-08T10:34:00.000-05:00

Hearing the sound of fire
In this battle we'll grow tired
But we fight for our land
At the end we hold hands
Although we lost the ones we love
But we try to come out above
Some might run and hide
But in the end we will not die

"The Squirrel" by Marco

2008-05-08T10:27:00.003-05:00

There once was a squirrel named Bill
The squirrel was ill
When he fell out of the tree
Trying to grab a nut

Then he went crying to his parent's house
In the house he saw a mouse
His parents asked him what happened
He said nothing

From now and then he never climbed trees
He ate cheese
Bill said that he was never going to climb trees
But he did and he fell again

"Hilda" by Elvia

2008-05-08T10:18:00.002-05:00

There once was a girl called Hilda
She was ready for the first day of school
Scare and excited waiting to see new people
1+1=2
Intelligent and smart in math

Hilda loved to dance
Rap, Hip Hop, Reggaeton, etc...
Dancing to the music in a mini dress
Hilda is shy in school
Hyper with friends or in dances
It's like two characters inside of her

Hilda went to math class unprepared
The teacher huffed and puffed
Red faced ready to explode of anger
Only her tenth day and unprepared
It was not a good feeling
Math is not her favorite class

Hilda went home to eat chocolate
Only that calmed her down
She was scared
The next day brought some iced water
It was for the math teacher
Math teacher drank it
Now she is not red

Now Hilda always brings iced water
So when she's unprepared
Math is still her favorite class
1+1=2
She's still got the intelligence
That's how she solved her problems

"Watching TV" by Gabi

2008-05-08T10:15:00.001-05:00

Watching TV is like relaxing after a long day of school
It's like having your own world somewhere else
Watching TV is fun, but some adults don't understand us
But we don't listen to them anyway

Watching TV is like seeing something that you enjoy watching everyday
Instead of doing homework all day
Watching TV is something that we as teens really enjoy
But parents will never get!

"English and Spanish" by Gabi

2008-05-08T10:11:00.002-05:00

Speaking English it's kinda fun
Once u knw wt's dn
But sometimes hard
Cuz u dn't knw wt to say, so u might get scared

Speaking Spanish is awesome!!!
Cuz they dn't knw wt u'r saying so its mystery undone
But once u get it real u will learn the drill
U! knw that's how we feel

I hate being a bridge between home and school
Cuz I feel like a fool
I speak Spanish at home and English in school
It gets pretty annoying Cuz I go back and forth like a tool!

"Sabrina Haiku" by Sonia

2008-05-08T10:08:00.001-05:00

Sabrina is cool

She's the bomb at school and home

She is never bad

"The Cutest Star" by Sonia

2008-05-08T09:56:00.007-05:00

There once was a star, the cutest of all
She didn't think she was important because she was small
Then one time she met another star at the sky
His eyes were about to cry

Then they met and they had a crush on each other
Until one day she saw his mother
His mother was a mean star
When she saw them together she took the star far away

Star stayed alone and sad
She started thinking that life was bad
She never will fall in love again
But she still feels her heart is dragged by a chain

"Scary Sounds" by Gabi

2008-05-08T09:54:00.001-05:00

I hear scary sounds when I'm alone

That I can't wait when my parents get home

I hear scary sounds when I'm going to bed

That I even think there's a monster under my bed

Sometimes I even think that my parents are one of them

But maybe I'm one, too! Who knows?

"1st Period Haiku" by Anabel

"Passed Away" by Thai

2008-05-06T13:02:00.003-05:00

Up the hill where he lay
Surround his grave people pray
Everyone dress in black
We all know he won't come back.
Hope he goes in peace.
Now he's gone people do care
But where were they
When he decided to take his life away?

"The Great Blue" by Thai

2008-05-06T13:00:00.002-05:00

Walking beside you with my bare feet
Waving at me was the coral reef
Splashing every where
Flying fish jumping from here to there
On a hot day people will care
A different world is inside of you
That's because you are the ocean blue

"Mi sueno" by Ana

2008-05-06T11:54:00.001-05:00

Cuando a tu lado estoy me siento protegida y sin temor, quisiera que ese momento nunca terminara y que siempre pudiéramos estar así y rodeados de mucho amor

"Amor de verdad" by Ana

2008-05-06T11:53:00.001-05:00

Nunca había sentido nada por nadie en mi vida, siempre creía que a mi corazón nunca nadie llegaría, que me quedaría sola sin amar algún día por el resto de mi vida, que nuca llegaría alguien a mi vida a cambiar esta triste agonía.
Hasta que un día como hoy llegaste tu mi amor, quien todo al instante cambio por que me brindo todo su amor.
Alfonso del alma mía si tan solo supieras que yo te quiero solo a ti, que no me importa nadie más por que todo mi amor es para ti.
La Cañada es mi casa por que dios lo quiso así, Guanajuato es mi estado por que pertenezco allí, México es mi país por que yo allí nací y tu eres la persona que me hace tan feliz cada ves que esta junto a mí.

"Por que eres solo tú mi amor" by Ana

2008-05-06T11:52:00.000-05:00

Tú eres como el aire que respiro que no puedo dejar de inhalar
Eres el agua que bebo y que no puedo dejar de tomar
Eres la brisa de la mañana que no puedo dejar de mirar
Eres el hombre de mi alma que nunca podré olvidar
Quiero que sepas que siempre en mi corazón has de estar

"Great Wind" by Thai

2008-05-06T11:50:00.001-05:00

Howl in the air

With this force you do not care

When you feel you will not fear

Waiting until it blow in your hair

For others it will be in their beard

Where ever you are

The wind will be there

"The Dance and Basketball" by Sonia

2008-05-06T09:59:00.001-05:00

The dance was the bomb
So cute
Like a prom
No boys wore a suit

Rocking out the night
My buddies were cool
PSHUUUU was tight
Not like in school

Played basketball Yes
Couldn't quit dancing
Was like a mess
Everyone was glancing

"My Pet the Tiger" by Ivan

2008-05-02T14:38:00.002-05:00

My pet the tiger

He was just laying there

I got home he had so much energy

I could smell my Mom's delicious food before I walked in

I got inside my pet the tiger jumped up with so much energy

I told him that I was going to take him out after I was done eating

He could see that I was eating

but he begged me to take him to the park

He was laying down I touch his furry back and told him let's go

I was talking to my friend that he was getting fat and he heard me

So my pet the tiger started to run

My pet the tiger did this everyday from now on

So after a week he was built

"The Tree" by Anabel

2008-05-02T10:44:00.002-05:00

It is really tall
It doesn't bounce like a ball
I can hear the leaves with the air
Trees don't have hair

Sometimes trees feel sticky with sap
You can find trees on a map
If you taste trees it will taste bad
Trees are never mad

I can smell the air from trees
The oxygen that I need
Trees are very important
I can hear doves sing up in the tree

"The Beach" by Marco

2008-05-02T10:42:00.001-05:00

You touch the warm water
The sand is soft

You hear people talk
You can hear the waves crashing

You can smell the food in the air
You can smell the sunscreen

You taste the salt in the water
You can taste the mud

You can see sharks coming for you
You see kites in the sky

"Middle School Dances" by Miss Frazier

2008-05-02T10:39:00.001-05:00

Middle school dances are so much fun
I get sad when they are almost done

The kids are very enthusiatic
Boys try hard to be romantic

Girls running all over giggling
Everyone's little tushie is wiggling

Sweet odors of fresh baked cookies fill the room
Music begins to blare with a loud boom

As the night goes on the humidity rises
Students line up for games to win prizes

Chaperones' heads begin to throb
Students surround the DJ like a crazy mob

Cute little couples secretly hold hands
Dancing all over jamming to the bands

Fruity punch is super refreshing
Keep a close eye out for unwanted caressing

"Cobra in a Bottle" by Tony

2008-05-02T10:28:00.002-05:00

It looks long and has a wide neck

It has two eyes and doesn't have a beak

It has a venom tongue

It also maybe has a lung

It sounds like a SSSSSS sound

It is quiet when it moves

It shows off when it's in a groove

It is loud when it is escaping

It feels rough and has scales

It's under quite feels pale

It likes to kill and eat

Under it has no feet

It smells gross and cruel

It will not be cool

It smells dirty

It is never flirty

It tastes gross and hard

It is not smooth as a card

It tastes like dirty mud

It tastes dirty and wrong

"Meeting Pee Wee" by Elvia

2008-05-02T10:16:00.003-05:00

The singers all looking cool
Dressed handsome as how they like
Walking on the red carpet
Everyone screaming in hopes
One of them will fall in love with a girl from the audience
People all squished pushing each other
Eager to see the special one
The young hot one just by seeinghim makes me hot
Everyone smells good but different scents are all over
Flowers, Axe, and other perfumes
I couldn't believe it
He the special one called Pee Wee talked to me
I could feel his soft hands
I could smell his cologne, not just any
but a good smelling cologne called attractive cologne
It smelled so good I turned red in love
He told me to meet him backstage
After the perfomance
I was looking forward to it
I was standing there hearing him sing
His music is soft sweet music to my ear
I saw him staring at me
He gave me a sign to go up on stage
I didn't feel like it but still went
Everyone was jealous
I was happy
Excited
In love
Hyper
Finally the end of the performance
He aske me on a date
The most expensive restaurant
We ate good yummy food
Now we're friends
My dream had come true

"Chris Brown (HOT)" by Sonia

2008-05-02T10:10:00.002-05:00

He seems so cute
I see him and he makes me smile
He smells so good
Like cologne not like any perfume

He seems so cool
I wish I could touch his hand
Then I hear him sing (no air)
I'm in a concert OMG

The third day we go out
We eat ice cream it tastes good
It was all a dream
I hope it comes true

"Ode to the Roller Coaster" by Miss Cragun

2008-05-01T10:11:00.006-05:00

Some days I am...
giddy
incapable of not smiling

Other days I am...

depressed

incapable of smiling

fearless

ready to take on the world

lazy

because I just don't care

determined

on top of my game

doubtful

not sure if I'm doing the right thing

Most days I am...

moody

riding a

roller coaster

of emotions

comforted

knowing that you're around to ride with me

and I with you

"Lonely" by Gabe

"The Mall" by Marco

2008-05-01T09:42:00.005-05:00

It looks like a big forest

You can hear the crowd yelling

It is very delicious

You can smell good food in the mall

The clothes are soft

The bags are sometimes heavy

"A Rose" by Anabel

2008-05-01T09:34:00.005-05:00

It feels really soft
It smells really good
What can it be?

A rose would be it
With horns on the stick
With leaves really green

A rose that can fall you into love
With someone you like
With the figure real pretty

A rose with colors on every leaf
And their leaves really soft
The rose would be the flower of love

"Friendship" by Gabi

2008-05-01T09:31:00.000-05:00

Friendship is sharing your problems with someone
Friendship is having good times
Friendship is having problems
Friendship is getting mad at each other
Friendship is sharing laughter
Friendship is getting in trouble
Friendship is helping each other
Friendship is telling rumors

"Some Days I Am" by Ivan

2008-04-30T15:09:00.001-05:00

Some days I am nice
Some days I like to eat rice
Some days I am catching mice
Some days I think twice
Some days I get advice
Some days I am wise
Some days I wear ties
Some days I am clockwise
Some days I kill fireflies
Some days I wear pants called Levis
Some days I eat fries

"Rocks" by Miss Finley's 2nd Grade Class

2008-04-30T14:46:00.002-05:00

Rocks here, rocks there,
Rocks, rocks everywhere.
Sparkling rocks laughing so hard.
Pointy rocks falling from the hill.
Shiny rocks swimming in the sea.
Smooth rocks cheering so loud.
Rocks are in my backyard.
Rocks everywhere in the sea and in the sun.
Rocks in the store.
Rocks in the swimming pool
Rocks here, rocks there,
Rocks, rocks everywhere!
ROCKS, ROCKS, ROCKS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rocks here, rocks there,
Rocks, rocks everywhere.
Cool rocks rolling.
Shiny rocks laughing.
Heavy rocks clapping.
Rough rocks shooting.
Rocks are formed by fire.
Rocks move by water.
Rocks are great!
Rocks are shiny.
Rocks here, rocks there,
Rocks, rocks everywhere!
ROCKS, ROCKS, ROCKS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rocks here, rocks there,
Rocks, rocks everywhere.
Glittering rocks laughing.
Pointy rocks shouting.
Heavy rocks stomping.
Rough rocks kicking.
Rocks are bright and dark.
Rocks are heavy and light.
Rocks are soft and some are hard.
Rocks can be anywhere!
Rocks here, rocks there,
Rocks, rocks everywhere!
ROCKS, ROCKS, ROCKS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Como decirte que te amo…" by Ana

2008-04-30T13:22:00.000-05:00

Como decirte que te amo si no me estas escuchando
Como abrasarte si no te tengo a mi lado

Como logro acerté entender que te amo!!!

"Cuando tenga mi propia familia" by Ana

2008-04-30T13:21:00.001-05:00

Mi gran pregunta en la vida a sido, cuando podré tener yo mi propia familia?
Mis padre piensan que esa pregunta esta muy fuera de la línea que aun estoy muy chiquilla, pero no se an puesto a pensar que ese asido y será mi sueno de toda la vida.
Ellos saben que yo quiero estudiar y están de acuerdo con eso, saben que quiero llegar a ser mama y no saben como logra entenderlo pero yo se que algún día ellos lo logran entender que eso es normal en la vida.

"Mama" by Ana

2008-04-30T13:19:00.001-05:00

Madre es aquella que carga a su hijo en su vientre por tantos meses
Madre es la que cuida de sus hijos todas las besesMadre es aquella que guía por el buen camino y aconseja a los hijos sin intereses. De todo cariño madre te digo que te mereces el mejor premio del mundo por que te lo mereces.

"Para mi padre" by Ana

2008-04-30T13:18:00.000-05:00

Siempre as sido una persona responsable e incomparable
Siempre mantienes el equilibrio más no tu carácter

Siempre te e admirado por tu forma de pensar, tu eres una persona muy intelectual y quiero que sepas que mi gran amor por ti nunca cambiara.

"Para mi madre de su única hija" by Ana

2008-04-30T13:17:00.000-05:00

Madre mía eres en mi vida lo mejor
Nunca soñé poder tener la suerte que me toco
Si tan solo tú supieras que en mi vida tú eres lo mejor
Nunca más dudarías de mi gran amor.
Tú eres la persona que me inspira a seguir viviendo cada día,
Tú eres la persona que me aconseja a seguir en la vida y eres la persona
Más enorme que existe en mi vida.

"El Amor" by Sonia

2008-04-30T13:15:00.001-05:00

Cuando te conocí
Medio miedo quererte
Y ahora que te quiero
Tengo miedo perderte

Yo me enamore de ti
Eso tenlo por seguro
Que solo te quiero a ti
Amor lindo y puro

Mi pasado es triste
Mi futuro no lo se
Pero mi presente es
Que te quiero y nunca te olvidare

Que triste se ve el cielo
Cuando esta nublado que
Que triste me siento yo cuando
No te tengo a mi lado

A un ángel le pregunte
Que cual era el peor
Castigo y el ángel me
Contesto amar y no
Ser correspondido

Quisiera ser una estrella
Quisiera ser un lucero
Para ver desde arriba
Al chico que más quiero

Mi novio me dio una foto
Mi mama me la rompió
Mi boca no dijo nada
Pero mi Corazón lloro

Del cielo callo una estrella
Con siete pocos dorados
Y en cada pico decía
Estamos enamorados

Si mi sangre fuera tinta
Y mi Corazón tintero con mi
Sangre te escribiría te quiero

Nacimos para vivir
Nacimos para soñar
Y nuestro destino
Es morir y amar

Los peces piden agua
Las mariposas libertad
Y yo que soy tu novia
Pido tu sinceridad

No me importa la edad
Mucho menos la altura
Después que hay amor
Lo demás que se vaya a la basura

Cuando te conocí un
Amigo te creí pero
Nunca pensé enamorarme de ti

"Amazing Tony Poems" by Tony

2008-04-30T12:57:00.002-05:00

Tony's poems are such a phony
If I was him I'd have to be lonely

His poems are so great it's better than grapes
His poems are so great it looks like shapes

Tony's poems are so good
It's just like him to be in a good mood

If I could be him I would be better
Except all the words would be just one letter

"Things To Do Before I Die" by Tony

2008-04-30T12:56:00.002-05:00

Things to do before I die
I would say bye to all my friends and family
I would make sure not to say hi
I would be brave and not cry

I would be strong and not lie
I would be smart and not fly
People will maybe say bye
I will have a good heart and always say hi

"If My Best Friend Took Drugs" by Tony

2008-04-30T12:54:00.002-05:00

I'll tell him to stop or he won't get hugs from girls

"Fear" by Tony

Fear is not being scared
Fear is to not shave
Fear is to not behave

"Learning Something New" by Tony

2008-04-30T11:54:00.002-05:00

Learning something new is cool
Just like playing a game of pool
Learning something new doesn't require a tool
Nothing is cruel it's just a fool

Learning something new is excellent
It's so magnificent
Learning something new is important
Learning takes no movement

"Who Am I?" by Anabel

2008-04-30T11:51:00.002-05:00

If I wasn't a person
Who would I want to be?
Maybe a little bee

I can't really tell who I am
Should I have another name in me?
Should my name be Lee?

I really don't understand
The thing I can be
I can be a rose
A rose they give to a person they love

"My Bad Day" by Anabel

2008-04-30T11:44:00.001-05:00

Today I went to the store
The day is so beautiful
On the way to the store
My car stopped

I stayed with my car
Almost two hours
Nobody wanted to help
I was so angry

I knew I had a bad day
Then it started raining
And I said to myself
I'm never coming in my car

"Emotions" by Anabel

2008-04-30T10:05:00.000-05:00

What are emotions for you?
Like being happy or sad
Like if you did something bad

With emotions you can fall in love
And fly like a dove
If there were no emotions
There would be no love

You would never be happy
Your face will always be yellow
But emotions are not like eating Jello

"Bullies Are..." by Ivan

2008-04-29T14:59:00.002-05:00

Bullies are crazy
Bullies are cheesy
Bullies are baggy
Bullies are angry
Bullies are awful
Bullies are cocky
Bullies are dorky
Bullies are flighty
Bullies are freaky
Bullies are jerky
Bullies are naughty

"Orange" by Miss Cragun

2008-04-29T11:58:00.006-05:00

If I were a color, then I'd be orange.

I'd radiate heat like a burner on a stove

And scorch your tongue with the bite of a pepper.

I'd mesmerize your eyes like a flickering flame

And hypnotize your thoughts with my crackle and pop.

I'd tickle your nose like a citric fruit

And make your hands sticky as you peel off my skin.

I'd inspire your spirit like a new morning sunrise

And calm your soul with peace in a dissipating sunset.

I'd leave you in a flash with the stealth of a tiger

And let your memory prey on the blur of my colors.

"Getting Hit by a Car!" by Gabi

2008-04-29T10:32:00.002-05:00

If I was hit by a car on my way to school
My Mom will be so worried cuz I was thinking like a fool
Mom might be crying, but everything is cool
They're taking me to the hospital, but I think I'm almost dead
At the hospital they are using this weird tool
But you know that's their rule
After all it was worth getting hit by a car
Cuz that way I'm not going back to school

I am a person who loves the whole entire world

"If I Was A Car" by Elvia

2008-04-29T10:22:00.003-05:00

If I was a car
I would hate my owner if he smoked and lit a cigar
People would look at me jealous cause I'm an expensive Jaguar car
But I wouldn't just be a Jaguar I'd be a street car
Going up and down the streets giving rides to my owner

If I was a car
I would always be at the gas station or else I'd be a flat car
I would watch myself from getting a scar
But if people mess with me on purpose it would mean they declared war
I would honk at them
I'd scratch their car, too

If I was a car
I'd be cleaner than any other car
But if my owner wouldn't clean me I'd wish he was in a jar
I wouldn't let him out until he'd say he'd clean me
I would be the handsomest car

"What It's Like to Be Me" by Tony

2008-04-29T10:19:00.007-05:00

Being me is real fun
It's fun being me especially in the sun
Me myself is not a mess like you are
I live really far

I see ladies on my doorstep every day
When I see them I say "hey"
To be me you must be handsome
Oh yeah, did I mention this, I am very muscular

You get money being me
You don't get bothered being me
Just like the killer bee
I also get respect

"Hero" by Gabe

2008-04-29T10:18:00.001-05:00

A hero should be like Iron Man so big and strong
A hero shouldn't be like Tony all small and long

"When I'm an Adult" by Gabe

2008-04-29T10:15:00.002-05:00

When I’m an adult I can gamble
When I’m an adult I can drink
When I’m an adult I can drive
When I’m an adult I can wink

When I’m an adult I can watch bad movies
When I’m an adult I can date
When I’m an adult I can live alone
When I’m an adult I can be late

"If I Could Be a Famous Person" by Tony

2008-04-29T10:13:00.001-05:00

If I could be a famous person I would be rich
I will ditch all the little cribs and just twitch
If I could be a famous person I will get all the hot chicks
We would chill and sit

"Watching TV is like..." by Tony

2008-04-29T10:06:00.002-05:00

Watching TV is cool
It is not cruel like school.
Watching TV is like a hot chick
The chick in not sick.

Watching TV is like a game
And no it's not lame!
Watching TV is like a wolf cry
In fact maybe it's a lie.

"I Sing When No One is Looking" by Miss Frazier

2008-04-29T10:02:00.003-05:00

In my room with the music blaring
In my car I'm always jamming

Some times when I'm sad
Other times when I'm glad

In my kitchen when I am cooking
In my bathroom when I am showering

Some times when I'm depressed
Other times when I'm blessed

In my gym when I am exercising
In my yard when I am playing

Some times when I'm slighted
Other times when I'm excited

In my room when I am writing
In my basement when I am cleaning

Some times when I'm lazy
Other times when I'm crazy

In my classroom when I am working
I sing when no one is looking

"If I Was Hit By A Car..." by Miss Frazier

2008-04-29T09:51:00.008-05:00

If I was hit by a car on my way home from school

I would skid on the pavement

like a rock across water.

If the person who hit me did not care to stop

I would chase after them

Like the Road Runner on Looney Tunes (Meep, Meep).

If I was hit by a car on my way home from school

I would call my Mom and ask her for help

Like a good child would do.

If no one saw the accident

I would have to explain to the police what happened

Like a victim of crime.

If I was hit by a car on my way home from school

I would get to ride in a fast ambulance

Like the ones you see on TV.

If I was hurt really bad from the collison

I would have to stay in the hospital

Like a patient recovering from surgery.

If I was hit by a car on my way home from school

I would try to be strong

Like a rope bridge across a ravine.

"Fear" by Anabel

2008-04-29T08:24:00.001-05:00

What would fear be like?
Like falling in love
And sing like a dove

Like not having family
And being by your own
Not having a brother or sister

Maybe not having any bones
Not feeling a thing
Maybe fear is like not having spring

"Bugs" by Marco

2008-04-29T08:22:00.002-05:00

Bugs are cool
They go to school

They are very smart
But they like to fart
They have a small heart
But they always look at one start

Bugs also like to eat little girls
They have to have a pearl

"A Dream" by Marco

2008-04-29T08:20:00.000-05:00

I like to play soccer
Kicking the ball is so fun
Scoring a goal
And people cheering for you
Getting exercise everyday
You get to be with your friends
When I grow up I want to play soccer

"Two Cultures" by Anabel

2008-04-29T08:10:00.004-05:00

I just don't understand my life
Would it be hard
A life full of love
It's like a love card

Two cultures in my life
Two languages in me
Two different flags at the same time
It's like you are chased by a bee

Running from one country to another
Would it be fair
Having two cultures on me
I really need a lot of air

"I Love Cars" by Ivan

2008-04-29T08:07:00.003-05:00

I love cars
They make me want to go to mars

I want the stars

My car has scars

My car is a jaguar

My car has a radar

I like the guitar

"School" by Elvia

2008-04-29T08:05:00.000-05:00

School is like a tool
That can also be cruel
Some teachers teach awful
But not Ms. Cragun she is cheerful

School is always something new
Like in gym we play a game called horseshoe
School always has a new issue
Sometimes school can be boring and wish you'd get the flu

School can be fun if you like school
But you have to follow the rule
I sometimes think school is uncool
Everyday there's homework that's cruel

"Awakening" by Jacob

2008-04-29T07:56:00.004-05:00

It's been too long, since I last remembered happiness,
but the joys that come with living are now reappearing...
Allowing my soul to swim out of this loneliness.
Terrors, I've created are not worth fearing.

Why worry about pains that are set in stone?
I've adjusted my thought to act more like liquid.

Positive feelings are running through this body.
A contagious illness that should have no anecdotes...
are cause and affects of a life, not faulty.
So, unleash your substance and untie these ropes.

Let your mind's conscious drift and roam,
while healthy vibrations are explosive, not timid.

Smiling is something that I thought I already knew,
but all that I had was false advertisement.
When I woke this morning my orah flew,
Emotions finally shinning through the cement.

Enjoying my days, Ill appreciate earth's tone,
It's rhythm and blues seem a lot less rigid.

"I am..." by Ms. George

2008-04-28T14:54:00.001-05:00

I am curious and determined
I wonder how big the universe actually is
I hear fall leaves crunching under my feet
I see the world's wonders through the lens of my camera
I want to be well-respected and loved
I am curious and determined

I imagine a world resembling a Monet
I feel contentment as I sit in an over-stuffed chair
I touch the ever-growing stack of work on my desk
I worry that I am not making an impact
I cry when those I love are hurting
I am curious and determined

I understand the complexity of politics
I say everyone should receive an education
I dream of a white picket fence and an ideal family
I try to avoid roller-skating and laundry
I hope for a world of devoid of genocide
I am curious and determined

"Hatred" by Ms. George

2008-04-28T14:53:00.001-05:00

Hatred is useless

It tasts like nauseating bitterness

It sounds like the blasts of gunfire

It smells like sweat and blood

It looks like an explosion

Hatred feels like hopelessness

"Clerihew Poem" by Ms. George

2008-04-28T14:52:00.000-05:00

Mr. Ortiz

Lost his keys

He searched and looked

They were found in a nook

"Por que tiene que ser así" by Ana

2008-04-28T14:44:00.002-05:00

No logro entender por que dudas de mi amor si en cada palabra y caricia que te doy, te lo demuestro con todo tu corazón. Mis sentimientos son puros, yo te abrí mi corazón, quiero que sepas que aunque eres mayor te has robado todo mi amor. Nunca había sentido algo igual, tu as cambiado mi forma de pensar, desde que te conocí nunca he dejado de pensar en ti. Tu has sido la persona que me entusiasmó, la que me alegro, pero lo mas importante la que me enamoro.

"Para ti" by Ana

2008-04-28T14:43:00.003-05:00

Siempre pensé que la vida me había olvidado,
que ni siquiera se acordaba de mi,
cada camino que caminaba se quedaba olvido
en el pasado y nunca mas regresaba a mi.
Una tarde hermosa y soleada del mes de abril
salí a dar un paseo alrededor del jardín y te encontré a ti.
Desde ese día Alfonso me enamore de ti.

"Para mi querido hermano" by Ana

2008-04-28T14:40:00.002-05:00

Coco es tu nombre de cariño, Coco se escucha mejor
Quiero que sepas que de todos los hermanos del mundo tú eres el mejor.
Nunca soñé poder ser tan afortunada con el hermano que me toco, siempre dude de mi suerte por que nunca le pose atención, ahora que me pongo a mirar, le doy gracias a dios por la enorme fortuna que me envió. Tu personalidad es única, tu inteligencia es enorme, tu guapura es grande y tu corazón esta lleno de amor. Hermano mió quiero que sepas que de todas las fortuna tu as sido la mejor. Quiero que sepas que pase lo que pase en nuestras vidas nunca te dejare ni te olvidare por que un amor de hermandad nunca se podrá olvidar.
Hermano quiero que sepas que te quiero de verdad…

"Attractive Perfume" by Elvia

2008-04-28T14:30:00.003-05:00

I just invented an attractive perfume
No matter how ugly or how cute you are
You can still wear it
So try on ugly clothes and wear the perfume

Then get ready to be attracted to boys or girls
And if you still can't believe it
Try it on yourself
I've tried

That's why whenever you go to the dances
You see a whole crowd of boys
Then you'll know that I tried the attractive perfume
Just remember that I made the attractive perfume

"Math" by Tony

2008-04-28T14:28:00.001-05:00

Math is going to be crash
I just want to throw it in trash
Just to forget like a splash
Math is my brain like a permanent flash

These fractions are such a distraction
I want it to be gone like a reaction
People say math is as good as a bath
But I say it's just a laugh

"Bad Decisions" by Elvia

2008-04-28T14:25:00.002-05:00

Why do kids do everything to fit in?
Because they are under peer pressure
And even make themselves puke just to be thin

Why do kids choose to smoke?
Because they think it looks cool
Even though they almost choke

Why do people like to go to the bar and drink?
Because the are depressed
And don't think

Why do I think drugs are bad?
Because they are the worst killing things
That distract people from good health
Then they end up in a cemetary
Their lives ruined by drugs

"Career" by Elvia

2008-04-28T14:21:00.003-05:00

I am a girl who wants to be a lawyer
I do my best in college to do my career, and get the greatest grades
I have fun in school even though it may be a little boring
I get home to rest my house is so clean I forgot it was Friday and paid my housemaids

I don't care how I go dressed to school
I may look bad or good I just want to do well in school and don't care
I get to social studies my favorite class
I just got done with my test I hope I did well and say a prayer

I have good grades in every class
I am very happy and proud it's the last day of school
I am a girl who wants to be a lawyer
I graduated and finally I am a lawyer

"Answers" by Tony

2008-04-28T14:14:00.003-05:00

Being an English learner is easy
English is just like my language but easier
It took effort and knowledge
It would be harder if I go to college

Speaking two languages is a piece of cake
But when it comes to presentations it's goodness sake
Sometimes I even get a partner to help me out
When someone speaks my language I don't like to shout

Home to school is not hard
It's just like an easy card
I just like the moment that takes from home to school
But sometimes it is cruel

In other countries I have one
He's a boy and he's little
Still little and smart but still waiting
He will soon come

I do not much live in two cultures
I just enjoy my own and watching nature
There's not much places to go
But I'm pretty sure living two cultures is still easy

"I" by Gabe

2008-04-28T14:06:00.002-05:00

I don't like learning English in school
I already know it and I am not a fool

I like to speak two languages it is fun
It is better than speaking just one

I like being a bridge between school and home
I, I, I, I am never alone

I hate having family far away
I won't see my cousins so we could go out and play

I like having two different cultures
I don't know a word that rhymes with culture

"America" by Elvia

2008-04-28T13:44:00.003-05:00

To learn English was hard

Once I learned it was like a reward

But having to change languages

wasn't hard because

I already knew one language

It's awesome I can speak two languages

But it's hard having to translate cases

I am very proud of who I am

by being able to say phrases

It's hard when you can't go to Mexico

Every single time because it's lots of money

It gets me angry

I love my culture

Like in July

When we look at the fire works

in the Sky

"Spanglish" by Sonia

2008-04-28T13:39:00.002-05:00

It is kind of hard
Sometimes I feel like a retard
Speaking two languages is cool
Because you could go back and forth like a tool

It's hard because you don't see your family a lot
I wish I could live with them all in the same spot
It's like living in two different skies
It hurts, you look at them with different eyes

Spanglish that's whay I speak
I speak both languages every single week
I don't like to speak Spanish at school
If I do they might think I am cruel

"I Like to Speak Two Languages" by Ivan

2008-04-28T12:01:00.003-05:00

I like to speak two languages
I have to speak Spanish at home
And at school I have to speak English
I like the way I speak my Spanish
I also have to speak Spanish in a school club
I like to go back and forth in speaking languages
It's hard to translate for my parents everyday
Some classes are hard because I don't understand

"Boyfriends" by Gabi

2008-04-24T16:08:00.002-05:00

How many boyfriends have you had?
Depends how many I dated.
How many dates did you guys go on?
Depends how fun and good they were.
How many gifts did he give you?
Depends how much he wanted to spend.
How many kisses did he give you?
Depends how many times I gave him a mint.

"Romantic Love" by Ivan

2008-04-24T15:00:00.007-05:00

Being with you makes me so happy I cry
I like to hold your hand and that's no lie
I want to take you to the movies
But I don't know how to show it. I'm shy.

You are so beautiful
I see you and I mumble
I love to smile
My heart starts to rumble

I love the way you care for me
I like to hold you tightly
I like to go on an epic adventure
My love for you will be longer than eternity

"Hamster or Something Like That" by Marco

2008-04-24T14:14:00.002-05:00

*dedicated to a hamster I don't own
To my favorite hamster
You look like my great-granddaughter

I like your big round eyes
I'll always give you a surprise

You are fat but you are fun
You always make me run

My Mom loves you
But my sister says Eew!

"My Teacher" by Anabel

2008-04-24T13:42:00.005-05:00

*dedicated to Mrs. Klukas

I have a lot of teachers
But I just have a favorite one.
The one who makes me happy
when I always get my work done.

My teacher is the best of all
She always makes kids happy.
She listens to you all the time
She never gets crabby.

School is really fun with her
Her subjects are really smart.
For sure she is never boring
Mrs. Klukas has a huge heart.

"Shopping" by Sonia

2008-04-24T12:23:00.000-05:00

I love to go shopping to the stores
I love to buy clothes and shoes
But I have no clue which ones to choose
I totally don't like to do chores

I like the mall a lot
I can't explain how much I like buying
It makes me feel like I'm flying
I just like shopping in a certain spot

I like to go shopping with my buddy
When I go with my friends it is crazy
We never like to be lazy
We never like to study

"Quiet" by Anabel

2008-04-24T08:21:00.002-05:00

I always like to be quiet
Quiet is my little world
I always have a diet
Quiet is my house all the time

I never like to talk
When I talk I feel dumb
It's always hard to walk
Walk on the noise of my heart

Quiet because of your fault
You always used me like a toy
I always wanted you to hault
Now my qorld is all quiet

"Ms. Frazier's Furry Friends" by Ms. Frazier

2008-04-24T08:18:00.002-05:00

My little friend's name is Izzy
Her hair usually becomes frizzy
The other little one is Scamperz
She is outo f her pampers

They like to talk and squeak
I give them a bath every week
Apples and carrots are their favorite treats
When they hear the fridge open their hearts rapidly beats

During the summer they like to play in the sun
They rest a lot and sleep when they are done
Another thing they likes it to be pet
Their food is expensive so I go into debt

I enjoy being with them
Not when they chew on a stem
They usually don't like to dig
After all they are only guinea pigs

"School is Cool" by Sonia

2008-04-24T08:17:00.001-05:00

I go to middle school
I think it is very cool
Some teachers are very nice
Just like some of the rice

I like MS because it is the best
The thing I really hate is taking a test
I love math
I also follow a path

"Amor" by Elvia

2008-04-24T08:15:00.000-05:00

El amor es como una experiencia
Cuando se va te sientes sola/o
El amor es bonito cuando te saben respetar
El amor es tierno como una rosa perfumada
Tu corazón es amor eterno y real
Cuando alguien te ama te lo demuestran
Si tu corazón te dice algo y los demás te dicen algo percige tu corazón
El amor no es para ser celosa/o tienes que confiar
Cuando se va se puede ir para siempre
El amor es una experiencia en la vida

"To You, From Me" by Miss Cragun

2008-04-22T17:07:00.002-05:00

*dedicated to my students

To you, from me
A poem with my philosophy:

Life is hard, all the miles
But do it with a lot of smiles.

Friends are good but some mislead
Keep the flowers, get rid of weeds.

Sunny days are always welcome
but don't ignore the rainy rhythms.

Dreaming is our breath of life
Fight for them with all your strife.

Make good choices you will never regret
But take some risk impossible to forget.

Learning is your only lifetime tool
Don't neglect your education like a fool.

Help others with love and service
Your heart will swell, this I promise.

True love will take years to find
But worth the wait for your own mankind.

Some things stay, but most things change
Make sure your family you never estrange.

Laughter and happiness is the key
but live a life you'd want your kids to see.

Have faith in some higher power unseen
And recognize humans are not machines.

Find something that drives and inspires you
Live with passion until the day life is through.

"I Believe in Ghosts" by Ivan

2008-04-22T15:57:00.002-05:00

I believe in ghosts
My body is a host
I try to scare my friends
I believe in ghosts

I believe in ghosts
I am a ghost
My friends are a bunch of scaredy cats
I believe in ghosts

I believe in ghosts
I like to make jokes about ghosts
Ghosts are really scary things
I believe in ghosts

I believe in ghosts
In the morning I eat toast
The boogieman is the best
I believe in ghosts

"Una Amistad de Amor" by Miss Frazier

2008-04-22T14:59:00.001-05:00

Mi amiga es muy simpática
La conocí en África
Hoy su pelo esta muy suave
Desde su casa vuelve

A veces estoy un poco celosa
Lleva ropa lujosa
Yo no tengo mucho
Mi novio siempre es insatisfecho

Tengo que trabajar muy duro
Nuestra amistad es un milagro
Para ella cada cosa es tan fácil
Y mi Corazón es muy débil

La necesito
Con todo su cuentito
Nuestra historia es muy larga
De mi alma ella encarga

"Ivan" by Ivan

2008-04-22T14:28:00.003-05:00

Ivan is good looking
He wants to know what's cooking

He is tired, too
He likes the number 2

He came from a zoo
He wants to shop in Peru

He always has money in his pocket
So he can launch himself a rocket
