If I were In Charge of the world
I'd ban mornings,
vegetables,
cats, and also homework.
If I were in charge of the world
There'd be longer nights,
lots of parties, and
concerts every weekend.
If I were in charge of the world
you wouldn't be judged.
You wouldn't be bullied.
You wouldn't be alone.
Or broke.
You wouldn't even have sisters.
If I were in charge of the world
books,
music,
and adults,
Would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world.

Ballad
Matt my pet rat
I had a pet rat
It was gray with some black
and I named it Matt.
He loved to eat cheese
my hungry fellow Matt
He sometimes made mt sneeze
and was scared of my neighbors cat.
Many years passed
Matt started to age
My bestfriend he was
One dark night he went away
My Best friend went to the sky
My fellow Matt good bye

Free Verse
it was pretty rough
because it was my first high school year
but I'm kinda getting used to it
next semester I'm sure ill do better
I didn't fail anything
but it was a close call
I hope I do better
no...
I know I will do better
Next time you see me,
I will be smiling from
the good grades
on the report card.
