Poetry Anthology

Introduction
My unique life
I am from Jewelry from Pandora and James Avery.
I am from the color on our bright flowers.
I am from the rose bush, the apple tree.
I am from lasagna and glasses, from John and Jorden and Brown.
I am from the musically talented and athletic.
From your my sunshine and to never give up.
I am from the cross that Jesus died on for our sins.
I'm from Kansas city, hot dogs and ribs.
From the food always spilling on my mom, the all family pictures we attempted, and the dolls that I would always run away from because they always scared me as a child.
I am from the pictures underneath my mom’s bed and in her nightstand, and all the projects we made in kinder garden in bins stored in our garage.Let's play ball
It was a beautiful day outside, bees buzzing
Trees whistling in the air.
Jill decided it was a good idea
to take a ball that was not hers
And play with it. Jill was having so much fun, with the ball going BOING
That it seemed like she was outside playing
For days. Then Susan, the owner of the ball,
Saw that Jill was playing with it without
Asking for permission. Susan yelled,
“Why are you playing with my ball?”
Jill didn’t know what to say she stood there
Still-motionless-frozen with fear,
Susan pushes Jill to the ground and grabbed her ball.
Jill started bawling and ran home,
Jill was too frightened to go back outside
Susan decided she was being a bully and went to talk to Jill
Jill was reluctant
But finally let’s Susan talk to her
Jill accepted Susan’s apology, and became friends with Susan
Then Susan asked Jill “Do you want to go play with my ball?”Beautiful black dog
My mom bought me a dog
He was bigger than me!
He was softer than a blanket
He was an all-black German Shepherd
Blacker than the night
When he barked it sounded like thunder, WOOF
He would always come lay on my bed,
Laying on top of my feet
It felt like he weighed more than an elephant.
His fur would look like it was sparkling in the sunlight,
He was as beautiful as a flower garden.
My life felt amazing with this dog in my life
But one day he wasn’t being his playful self,
He would always lie down and never eat or drink.
He was my best friend I did not want to lose him,
But one day he wouldn’t wake up
I started bawling my eyes out.
I cried for 3 days straight,
Waking up to see he was not there.
Till this day I still miss him.Basketball love
I love basketball.
It’s in my blood; from my head to my toes is my favorite sport
Never looking back on what I love. Always thinking about how I can get better.
Pass, shoot, score! Quickly making friends and passing a ball up and down a court
Basketball is not just a sport it consumes my whole life. Slowly getting better, and quickly
It is my anchor, coaches always yelling, helping us get better at the sport. Team mates who we love,
Shoes that always squeak when running, getting faster, and learning new plays. Forming a family!
10 hours of practice a week. Getting sweaty and tired every night. We never lose or complain.
Our feet always hurting but always glad to play the sport we always and forever will love.
Championship games at tournaments that always make us excited to get 1st place.
A team of girls who share an unimaginable bond, towards the game with
Love and passion; your mind taking over on what to do and when.
Wanting to get scholarships and fame with it,
Always shedding a tear, that’s why
I love basketballWho I am
I am a song
With many beautiful melodies-
And different types of style.
Love,rock,hip-hop,energetic.
High notes represent all the good times
Going to the park-
Having laughs with my family
Low notes represent all the bad times
Getting hit in the face with a basketball
And getting kicked in the face
I am a song that is-
Slow and steady
Making beautiful sound
To all ears around
I am a song that is priceless,
Like my hair and talents
The sound representing who I am
A sister, a teammate, and a daughter.
I am a special and beautiful song.Will I ever find love?
Will I ever be as lucky as you to find love one day?
I don’t think I will because I am sad:
You found love in summery spring of May
But I like a person, who is awesome and rad
Looks are not everything to a person like me,
But he must be outgoing, funny, and nice.
With a talent or pretty blue eyes like the sea
Love can be hot like fire or as cold as ice.
Love can also make a person crazy and really nuts,
Like getting really jealous for no reason,
But in reality to ask someone out on a date you have to have guts
But I would like to have found love in the summer season.
Love can be a really beautiful thing,
But being heartbroken can feel like a sting.
