"My Friend the Clown" by Anabel

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

"1st Period Haiku" by Anabel

Ms. Cragun is fun

Marco is too annoying

Ms. Frazier is cool

"School Haiku" by Anabel

School is really fun

The subjects are not too hard

Teachers are so cool

"The Tree" by Anabel

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

"A Rose" by Anabel

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

"Who Am I?" by Anabel

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

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

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

"Fear" by Anabel

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

"Two Cultures" by Anabel

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

"My Teacher" by Anabel

*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.

"Quiet" by Anabel

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

"Life" by Anabel

Why is life difficult for me?
Because your life is a mess.
Why is my life a mess?
Because you always have less.
Why do I have a fun life?
Because you always have everything.
If I have everything, why am I sad?
Because what you need to do in your life is sing.

"Because of You" by Anabel

Because of you I don't sleep in the night
We always had a good time flying a kite

Because of you I don't pay attention
When I think of you I always have a detention

Because of you I never eat
And now I never have a beat

Because of you I always fall in love
Because of you I always sing like a dove

"School" by Anabel

School is not cool
School is always cruel
The teachers are not cool
School is like a tool

Teachers think they know everything
But they really don't know a thing
Teachers are always talking
They never let kids be walking

My favorite subject is being in home
I hate writing in class a poem
The class I hate more is Comm. Arts
In Comm. Arts, they always break my heart

"The Clock" by Anabel

You always wake me up
In the morning with your alarm
I'm really so tired
That I can't even move my arm.

Every day you wake me up to go
To school every morning
I always have to
Go to school running

I wish there was no school
Because I hate school
On every morning
The teachers are so cruel

In school there's
Always a bell
A bell that drives me crazy
Every time the bell yells

The clock is my enemy
Every time the clock
Marks the hours I always
Want someone to get me a shock

"Ms. Frazier" by Anabel

Ms. Frazier is a really nice teacher
She always goes to the church to the preacher
She always gets to school late in the morning
Because in her house she has a lot of creatures

Ms. Frazier speaks Spanish really good
She always brings a sweater with a hood
Ms. Frazier always needs to teach Marco
By him she has always stood

Ms. Frazier teaches a Spanish club
It's more fun than sitting in a tub
A club that Marco doesn't come
He would never want to be in the club

"The Secret" by Anabel

I have a big secret
In the night I sing like a cricket
I always go past your house
You are tricky like a mouse
You played with my heart
You always had a start
I wanted to take you to Peru
But my big secret is that I still love you!

"My Teacher, Ms. Cragun" by Anabel

Ms. Cragun is a busy teacher
Ms. Cragun always sits in a bleacher
She does her make-up at school in the morning
Ms. Cragun is never boring
She always has alot of ideas
Ms. Cragun would love to have a daughter Maria
Ms. Cragun doesn't have any clue
That she always gives candy to you!

"My First Kiss" by Anabel

My first kiss was with you
I really wanted to spew

I did like it, too
It was my first kiss with Lou

I was turning so blue
I was so happy that I wanted to shout cock-a-doodle-do!
