Language Poems
By Keegan Kruse
Poetry
A falling flower
I saw it drift back to the branch
It was a bird
Cinquain
These be
Two silent things
The falling snow
The hour
Just silent
Blank verse
The quality of mercy is not straind
It droppeth from the heavenly rain
Upon the place beneath it is twice blessed
It blesseth him that gives and him that take
Limerick
There was an old dog Lee
Who's face filled with glee
Because upon his bowl
It was filled full
I wish
I wish I didn't have to do homework
I wish I had straight A's
I wish I could turn invisible
I wish I had more friends
I wish I could be rich
I used to be, but now
I used to be a cat
But now I'm a doghouse
I used to be dead
But now I'm alive
I used to be a horse
But now I'm hay
I used to be ahead in life
But now I'm behind
I used to be a chicken
But now I'm a tree
Poems that just happen
Sh-h-h-h-h
Be quiet
No talking
Don't run
In the halls
Going to lunch
Don't shout
Be quiet
Sh-h-h-h
Clerihew
Teen-agers
Are keen-agers
When in the groove
They really move
What the dog says to his owner when he's hungry
" Food PLEASE"
I wonder
I wonder how they make a John Deere tractor
I wonder if it takes a long time
I wonder who makes them
I wonder what they use to make them
I wonder when they will make a new one
I wonder why they don't make them every year
I wonder
