Summer by Dyraneka and Keturah

Summertime is here,

Now we all can cheer,

People in the pool,

All of us act a fool,

School is finally out,

Now I can jump and shout,

You could go here you could go there,

You could go everywhere,

It’s time to go on vacation,

So we can have a celebration,

Summer is here, summer is here,

Now let’s all cheer!

Friends by Brianna Underwood

Friends, Friends, Friends

Friends are like the gum stuck to

the bottom of a table, you are

the gum and your friend is the

table, Right by each other

Friends

They are here to the end

When you are feeling down they

will pick you up. Friends are there

when its tough even if you

are rough. Some friends are like

Dy-Dy, Kerykah, Jamie, Keturah, Trenajia

and everyone else.

Friends

Don’t you love friends?

Two Poems by Ron Clark

Friend

Friends are there through

thick and Thin. Friends are there

to depend. Friends are even

there to give a pat on

the back friend. Friends

thats what we call friend.

Mother

Mothers are there to

help you out. Mothers are

there when there’s no way

out. Mothers are there through

thick and thin

and will never turn their

backs on a friend. Mothers are

the ones you can depend on.

Sunlight shine the butter
On the skillet melting away
I don’t know why
Butter following out
the sly, I got hit
aside the head
and I gotta bake
to butter bread.

Left Out by 6A2

When my uncle and friends went to the movies and I couldn’t go.
When my friends went to the mall and forgot me,
When my mama went to the first Mardi Gras parade,
When my friends stopped talking to me to talk to someone else.
When my brother and sister had money to go to movies and I didn’t,
When my brother paid more attention to his girlfriend than me.

I couldn’t go outside and play because I was sick,
One time my brother and I got into an argument and my brother left me out of everything.
While everyone can see the real world, I’m the only one in crowd unable to reach as tiny as can be.
When I couldn’t skate anymore because I twisted my ankle,
And my brothers and cousins could.

When my brother had the freedom
To check the mailbox when I had to walk with my mom.

And those are the times I have been forgotten.

Left Out by 6A3

When my brother and cousin got to get in the pool,
When my 16 year old cousin went to a party that I couldn’t go to,
When my sister went to New Orleans.
When all my cousins could ride a bicycle and I was on training wheels,
When my brothers went to the mall and left me.
I felt left out when my god sister came this weekend.

When Kerykah and Dyraneka stayed at Brianna’s house and my dad said I could not go,
When my friends went to the new school without me,
When all my friends went to a sleepover and I had to go to church.

When my mom didn’t have a car to drive everywhere by my aunt did.
This weekend.

Left out.

Left Out by 6A1

I felt left out when my friends went to the movie without me,
The Mardi Gras Parade last week,
When my mom went to the store,
My cousins went out to eat, to the mall and to Skate Galaxy.
I couldn’t go because I was too young.

One time when I felt left out was when my brother got his money,
but I still wanted the same amount he had,
When my cousins went to the movies and I didn’t get to go,
My mom went to the mall,
When my mom and sister went to the mall and I had to stay home with my baby brother.
When my mom, sisters and brother went to Basket Robbins and then to the ice rink.
I was so mad.

When my friend went to the bowling alley without me,
When all my friends turned against me.

When I felt left out.

Andrew’s Myth: I had a Dream

Long time ago in the Greek time with Gods and Goddesses a new Goddess was born. Her name was Dreamica, the goddess of dreams, making people follow everything they say.

One day while Prometheus was watch over the world he saw something special in Barack Obama. Some great dreams in him. So he rushes to get Zeus the god of goddesses and Zeus sensed something that Prometheus felt and went down and disguised as a human to fit in and asked, “What are your goals in life?” He replied, “Why?” Then Zeus told him who he was and proved it then Obama started to listen. Zeus said, “You will be visited by the god of dreams, Dreamica.” “I will be looking forward to it,” said Obama.

Obama tried to tell everyone to follow their dream made an hour speech about it, the results everyone laughs and says, “You sound just like Dr. King, duffus.” So he gave up on his dream. The gods saw what the people did to Obama and they literally made them kill they self. Knowing if you kill yourself you will go to hell. Gods try to kill Obama, but they made a better way they made him get fatter by the day if he doesn’t go back to presidency.

At the blink of a light, Dreamica appeared telling Obama why he should go back, and the consequences. Obama gives another try so Dreamica gave him one wish and a two day limit. The first day he thought about getting the money to buy the presidency. That’s when he got the perfect idea, he could wish he had the talents to be president. He and his wish was granted with the snap of a finger he got the talents.

He had to run against McCain and Hillary. Hillary got eliminated so it was just McCain and Obama. McCain was a 72 year old man with a lot of talk. It came to the totals and Barack Obama won by a thousand votes. He was president he moved into office on January 18, 2009 and it’s still going on this day.
