Ode to my dog Bailey

Ode To My Dog Bailey

 

Have you ever some part of your heart was missing

If yes I have been in your shoes

I lost one of my pal

Until this angel came into my life

And brightened it up like the sun.

Going up to pet your smooth and silk fur as a ribbon.

Big gentle creature who just wanted love.

The day I could bring you home came fast as a hummingbird’s wings.

Seeing at last made my day so happy

Your tail going all over the place hitting my leg like whip hurt

But you were so how I could I say no to you

Years went by and finally you were able to sleep in my room and I was filled with so much joy because of this.

When my days are down cover over  and see if I am fine.

Looking at your dark black eyes you are filled with joy.

May seem strange but your like a sister to me.

You brighten my day when the days are dark and stormy

Like a thunderstorm.

Knowing one day you pass on I will always remember you my

Sweet, gentle, kind dog.

 

 

1. I published an ode to my dog Bailey.

2. I chose this subject for my ode because my dad does acaully do all of these things she is a dog that will come over and see if you are all right and never trained her to do that she just did that on her own.

3. The tone of this poem is happness because I am saying good things about my dog.

4. The theme of my poem is that any animal for me a dog can be your best friend.

5. “Hitting my leg like a whip.” And ” days are dark and stormy like a thunderstorm.”

6. I changed some figurative language in my poem and I did this because some of it was just me putting my thoughts down and so I had to change them.

7. It was kinda easy and hard at the same time because part of it was trying to think of thing my dog does reasons why because I don’t see much of her like I want to.

8. I pretty satisfied with my poem because I think that I chose a really good subject to write about.

Paradise

by: Hannah Collado

As I walk off the pavement stairs

My feet sink into the sand

Soft as a feather

But still a few seashells poking at my feet

I start to run towards the ocean

The vibrate blue ocean

As blue as topaz necklace

I walk into the cooling water

Making my body temperature go down

From the bright sun heating up my skin.   

As I hear the soothing sound of the ocean

And the sweet taste of a strawberry daiquiri

I now know this is paradise.

 

1. I published a sensory detail poem.

2. I chose this place for my poem becuase I have been there many many times.

3. The tone of my poem is soothing.

4. The theme of my poem is that everyone has a paradise.

5. “Soft as a feather” (simile) it helps the reader visualize what the sand feels like.

“As blue as a topaz necklace” (simile) it helps the reader picture the ocean.

6. I changed topaz to topaz necklace because I feel like ti flows better.

I  changed nice taste to sweet taste because some people may have never had a strawberry daiquiri before so it helps them taste it.

7. This poem was easy to write because I’ve been there so many times I know how to describe it.

8. I am very satisfied with my final draft because I feel it makes people belive they were there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stanley Cup Finals

Shaky hands and shaky hearts

The screams are deafening

A sea of red

The slashing of ice

The sound of glass clattering

Roars and hollers surround me like a blanket

Confetti flying, stuck in my hair

Smiles on those who wear the flaming red

Up 4-0

Hugs all around

The silver glows bright like a star

Beach Days

By: Megan Averyt

10 years ago,

Was the first time I went to the beach.

The car was filled with excitement

On the long,

Seven hour trip to North Carolina.

We passed the big and bright welcome sign,

And there were brightly colored houses in a line.

There were big sandy beaches

That stretched on forever.

We bolted out of the car

Onto a beautiful sandy beach.

The sand burned our feet

Like a hot oven

We sprinted to the water,

And the cold waves crashed over us.

As the sun began to set,

Red, orange, and yellow painted the sky

The smell of toasted marshmallows filled the air,

As we gathered around the fire,

Savoring the taste of delicious s’mores.

With smiles on our faces,

From the fun, tiring day,

We know we will never forget this family vacation.

 

Watching From Afar

By: Kaitlyn Sourinhong

It was the crack of dawn.

Birds were singing, overgrown grass were swaying against the wind,

and the trees were whispering.

But something felt different.

 

It was not how I ruled over the land even though I only control

the time and the weather.

Or how the clouds would like to block my view from below.

But over all the trees and its shadows,

I could see a baby deer, lost.

I watched as the deer went over to a bush,

but anyone with eyes could see that he was injured.

I had this urge to help,

but instead I watched from afar.

He’s injured I thought, no mother should ever

leave their child behind.

So I just watched from afar.

 

With a sudden jolt the deer collapsed against the bush,

and looked at me with pain and hopelessness in his eyes.

I wanted to do something,

but instead I watched from afar.

So I kept on spying on the poor deer,

alone at a young age and nowhere to go, injured and despondent,

but I looked down on him,

and watched from afar.

Happiness

By:Vrithika Krishnaswamy

The sun glistening on the metal

The laughter of children

As I started to get onto the warm seat

Slowly creaking as I got on

I pulled the handle down with a loud clang

The ride was moving upwards

Quickly picking up speed

Then the wind brushed against me and there was a sense of calm in the air

The ground beneath my feet

The trees were as short as mice

The leaves as green and bright as fresh paint on the wall

It was as if I was chasing the clouds

The blood in my veins rushing like a river

The cool air refreshing against the hot sun

Birds gliding in the sea of blue above

As I closely watched the gentle breeze drifting away

Slowly and quietly I stopped

The sounds as soft as a whisper

Everything a sleep

 

 

That Time Of The Year

As the white flakes flew down

And fires warmed houses

I knew it was that time of the year.

Where little kids wore big coat

with hats and gloves

Snow covering noses like blankets

Faces red with blood

I knew it was that time of the year.

Houses glowed with lights and decorations

Homes filled with love and joy

Snowmen all where the eye can see

Family visiting from close to far

Children waking up in the morning

with all the gifts they can imagine with them,

I knew it was Christmas time for this year.

The Day That Will Not Be Forgotten.

By: Faith Sikes

I never knew today was the day.

The day that we were not safe.

He barreled through the front doors like a freight train.

The shots started.

The unbearable sound of pain being inflicted on my peers.

We were locked in for an eternity.

The only person who was in control was the person who had their finger around the trigger.

This was the place we were supposed to be able to learn.

This was the place we were supposed to be safe.

But now, no one will feel that way.

 

Jelly Winner

The bleachers were packed like an ant hill

As I walked on the court, I could feel their eyes

The feeling of anxiety covered me like a wool blanket

The player walked over to their positions

The ball was thrown in the air like confetti

As the score board went up, we all went down

Time flew by like a seagull on the beach

The fourth quarter was here and we were down

Time froze as the ball touched my hands

I observed the court as a game plan drifted around my head

I slowly dribbled down the court

As the defender reached for the ball

I quickly crossed over like a hawk

I drove down the court as the defenders came at me

I did a quick spin move like Chris Smoove

And filay’d the ball like grape jelly

Adrenaline pumped through me like the ice in my veins

The game winner banked in like the cash at my atm.

The World Below

By: Claire Nguyen

Splash!

The world turned upside down

as I plummeted towards the ocean

the water looking as if it were a portal

to a new world

chills run up my spine

with the water splashing against my face

I look around

at the world below

 

Coral reefs flooding the area

fish swimming by

waving hello

bubbles rise to the surface

sunlight scaled everywhere

I feel at home

with the waves

in the world below
