Poems
I Wonder
I wonder how the world will look in 50 years.
Will I ever know?
Will it be any different?
I wonder if I will become a doctor.
Will I like it?
Will people like me?
I wonder who I will marry.
Who will he be?
What will he be like?
I wonder what I will do after I graduate.
Will I go to college?
Will I get a good job?
I wonder when I will have kids.
What will they look like?
How many kids will I have?
I wonder why the world can't be peaceful.
Why do we have to have war?
Why can't people get along?
I wonder!
I Wish
I Wish
I didn't have to go to school
and never had homework
and never had to wake up early
I wish I were an Iowa basketball player
who was a good player
I wish
I had a waterpark
in my backyard
that I could have fun with
while swimming with my friends
I wish
that humans could fly
we could fly so high
turning winter into summer
with our magical powers
And I wish
that more animals would survive because it's not cold
they would all be happy
I wish
I were a doctor
who could help all people
how wonderful it would be
who could cure all diseases
it would help so many people
If only I could do it
I wish
I were a swimming pool
making so many people have fun
and helping them learn how to swim.
I Used To But Now
I used to be a baby
sleeping all the time
and not caring about anything
But now I've grown
taller and stronger
wanting to do any things
going to school, playing sports, and having fun
I don't want to grow up
I used to feel like I couldn't do much
But now I wonder if
I can do anything I try
I have to keep telling myself I can
I used to feel that dreams could be true
and it would happen one day
But now I feel
that it's what you think about at night
and it's what sticks in your mind all night
I used to be a little toddler with pig tails
Now I'm a kid with pony tails and braids
and you'd better have realized I've grown up
I used to be small
not worrying about anything
But now I've grown
and I think about a lot of things
I used to be in gymnastics flipping and tumbling away
But now I'm in basketball
and many other sports
I used to be small
trying to reach the cookies
and not quite being tall enough
But now I'm taller
and the cookies taste good...
Found
What Every Mom Says
Be nice to your brother and sister
Be respectful and responsible
Do what is right
Be quiet
Go to your room
I said no
Have a good day
Goodnight
I love you

Always put up a good fight
Even though we put himself through pain
He always did well in the game.
Jenna Jessen was in the rain
she started to feel pain
so she went inside
to find a ride.
Haiku
The flying object
I saw chirping on a tree
Was a gorgeous bird.

Jenna is what they call me
Exciting things is what I like
Nice is what I like to be
Nature is what I like to see
And I love playing sports.
Limerick
There was a large dog named Mog,
Who loved his toy frog;
He whispered to his mate, "You look great,"
She then put up a gate,
Which saddened a large dog named Mog.
