Uptown Poetry
By:Caesar Contreras
5/6 year old self
Apple slices ready for me to eat them
Energetic child
Sipping milk before I go to sleep
Acting silly in front of my parents
Racing my cousins for fun
Crying because I can't my way
Overwhelmed by the gifts I get for my birthday
Not able to eat a lot of candy
Telling on my sister because shes being mean
Ready to take a bath
Eating soup and animal crackers
Riding the little rides at stores
Animal crackers in my soup
Swimming in my arm floats
Life is like an Ocean
cause its dark,
dangerous,and
mysterious
Waves that are weak
keep us down
strong waves
keep us up
Ode to Soccer
I get the ball
he goes for a shot
GGGOOOAAALLL!!!
The crowd goes wild
screaming,cheering,
yelling,and making
noise because of the goal
With 10 second left
Croatia can still tie it up
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3 Croatia takes
a shot no goal Mexico wins
Elegy to losing
team was going to be
good but we lost every
game and still scored
When we practiced kids
would mess around or
forget their stuff and the
coach would make us run
It was sad that
we lost every game
but I still had
fun playing the game
Weekend
on Saturday afternoon
at the park on
beautifully cut
green grass
Five senses
the wind blowing and water splashing
the salty water in the breeze
a juicy orange that's ripe
comfortable setting of the beach
Dinosaur
it growling trying to scare me
his fear inside of him
juicy red meat
full from devouring him
ELA
fun,exciting,learning
reading and writing
discussions on stories
new ideas
novels,books,magazines
exciting stories
new vocabulary
Learning new genres and poems
33/34 years old
Amazing cars in my garage
Expensive shoes I have
Soccer star
Amazing inspiration
Riding in my Ferrari
Clothing is expensive
Out of this world fans
Never ending parties
The greatest father
Rare jewelry for my wife
Enjoying my life
Reading a book to my kids to put them asleep
A family to enjoy
Swimming in my inside pool
