Poem 2

A Movie in the Stars

I sat down on the balcony of my bedroom

Gazing at the sun

The way it changed twice a day

Was a gorgeous piece of art

It was blaring

It looked like it was so hot, that it was burning it's self

I could tell it was the start of the sunset

That color became darker and darker until it was an orange-red

I watched as they mixed and mixed just like someone was stirring them in a

bowl

The clouds were disappearing and the light started to turn pink

It was a light pink, so soothing to look at

Then it turned into a bloody red

So evil looking

As it darkened and darkened into a dark blue

I now could see the moon, just barley noticeable

Which was getting brighter and brighter and the sky got darker and darker

It started to get chilly and very breezy

Soon it was so dark that it was considered black

The darkness was coming to take over the world

There was no escape

The beautiful colors was now gone

And now there was nothing to see at all

I tried to go back into my room, but the door had locked

I was trapped by the darkness

I lied down and covered my face

"Please save me light

I cried as the wind ticked my face

Eventually I could see the darkness getting lighter into a dark blue

The light is coming

The sun has come to save the world

I could see the light trying to sneak in

But the darkness was strong and held back

They fought and fought

For hours and hours

And throughout that fight, some of the darkness died

The light became stronger and stronger

The darkness became weaker and weaker until it was a perfect blue

Then I could see, the sun coming

It had defeated the darkness after all

My tears had vanished

Now filled with happiness

As I watched the colors on the sunset return as a sunrise

I was now safe and sound

and found myself asleep the moment I found out

Poem 1

Long Gone

Since that day

Nothing has been the same

I fell into a black hole

With nowhere to go

I lost you forever

No way to come back together

I miss your protective bark

I miss walking with you to the park

I want to be able to hug you one more time

Tell you that I love you, and that you will always be mine

I was trapped in my sadness

With no hint of happiness

I could not find the key to the door out

Nothing to do but scream and shout

The darkness has haunted me ever since

Nothing to comfort me through this

`

My old world is gone

Nothing now can turn me back on

I know that there is no way

But I just have to say

Please come back

Poem 3

Have you seen my missing cat?

DAY 1

Have you seen my missing cat?

He is wearing a hefty hat

Tied to him is a big bat

Which I use if he needs a smack

DAY 2

Have you seen my missing cat?

Yes the one wearing a hefty hat

He such a big brat

So sometimes I yell at him so he may respond to that

DAY 3

Have you seen my missing cat?

Yup that's the one, wearing a hefty hat

He sort of looks like a naked rat

Because I shaved off his ugly fur

DAY 4

Have you seen my missing cat?

I already told you, the one with the hefty hat

The one I sometimes use as my welcome mat

He really collects dirt well

DAY 5

Have you seen my missing cat?

He is wearing a hefty hat

I don't why he ran away

There is nothing left for me to say

Oh wait! He must just have hated that hefty hat
