And now some poems…
Happiness
by: Theodore B.
Happiness is like a scale
If you have too much of it you lose control
Too little of it and you become an empty shell
A fair amount of it
You become one person
With a happy day
Mystery
by: Tate F.
In the darkness of the pitch black night
Nightmares rise up and come to life
To haunt you
To scare you
To make you wake up, eyes wide with fear
A wisp of smoke
A crow’s caw
Will scare you.
You will scream, but no sound will come out.
And then
When the sun peaks up over the horizon
It all fades away
Just to happen again the
Very
Next
Night
FEAR
by: Theodore B.
Fear is a bad omen.
It’s a prickle on your skin.
It’s the pounding of your heart.
It’s a twitch in your eye.
It tells you:
Don’t do that,
Or
Warns you: That’s dangerous.
It’s a mental sign,
but you’re the only one who can see it.
It’s your mental guard,
protecting you from harm.
Fear is a sign to
not do a thing again,
not a symbol you run from
only to make the same mistake again.
Fall
by: Rose W.
Fall is a cold and beautiful season,
Leaves falling without reason,
Red and orange fill the sky,
When wind blows, leaves can fly,
On October 31st, a spooky night,
Evil awakes, and takes flight,
This dark night is Halloween.
Monsters walk this night unseen.
Wind gusts through the air,
swirling, whirling, without a care.
Children bundled, dressed for cold,
as the season grows old,
bare trees, going to sleep,
catching light to store and keep,
as fall begins its chill end,
one bird migrates, then its friend.
First one snowflake, then another,
“It is winter”, we say to each other
