Freedom BearFreedom Bear 

Baring arms to protect youFreedom bear welcomes you to

AmericaHe’s happy you’ve come

You make him smile with joyHe proudly wears the American Flag

Fifty stars of fifty statesHe rings his bell of liberty

With his friendly eagle 

Freedom Bear

CeilingsIf I was a cloud ceiling

I would watch the earth All the people

Watch as buildings and forests burnWatch as people die and get born

If I was a ceiling in a schoolI would watch as people studied

Break rulesCheat

Watch as people are bullied

If I was a ceilingI would see everything that happened.

Ceilings

Ceilings

Signs of SpringThe fog lifting

Under a warm sunThe endless and serene skyFilled with billowing clouds

Dancing butterfliesFlying under the summer sun

A garden fountainFilled with relaxing blue waterDried lavender and fresh herbs

One blue irisBeside the mystic pool

EnchantmentIcy wind blowing

A quiet moment

Under the crescent moon

Soft moonlight

Entering a eternal dream

Evening symphony begins

Calm and serene

Dream spiral

Faint reflection of a

Clear moon, shining

Dogs

The dog is runningTo the park to get a ball

But lost where it was

Mississippi River

The MississippiRiver is overflowing

Due to heavy rain

Deer

Through the deep woods andOff the sandy winding path

Lives a deer family

Dogs, Mississippi River, Deer

Old

A old deck ageing

Ageing through rain and snow

Creaking and breaking

Cars

O-zone destroying

Carbon monoxide killingCars of pollution

Old, Cars

Cinquain

DishesCleaning dishes

Can be quite annoyingPut them away into cabinets

Dishes

RacingWatching the race is unpredictable

Cars can crash into walls or carsRacing

PassingWhen somebody

Passes away you mayfeel depressed, sad and sorrowful

Passing

Dishes, Racing, Passing

Me

I seem to be happy

but really I am sad

I seem to be without friends

but really I am friends with a lot of people

I seem to be sad

but really I am angry

If / Then Poems

ConfusionIf you are confused about something

Then read a book about it

If there are no books on it

Then find a magazine on it

If there are no magazines on it

Then look it up on the internet

If you don’t have a internet connection

Then find a computer with one

If you can’t find a computer with one

Then get one

If you can’t get one

Then stay confused

If I were In Charge Of The World Poems

If I were in charge of the worldI would get rid of moneyannoying sisters, as well asslow computers

If I were in charge of the world I would make all computers fast as lightMaterials unlimited3000 Gigabyte had drivesMake computers small as a two CD cases
