Untitled Poem

February 2005

I am
A girl
Who is adventurous
And smart–
Creative stories
Is what
I write–
I read
Magical fantasy books–
I study
Hard and
I draw
A lot–
I listen
To music and
I play
Music exceptionally well–
I think
About things before
I say
Them–
I am
Very creative at doing things–
I am
Imaginative

Untitled Poem

February 2005

I Love to run so much that when i’m done I collapse on the ground,
My friends and I
Built a
fort and
we do a lot
of sports there,
time goes
by so fast
with all the playing
I do that makes time pass!
I’m active

Dear Spiders

May 2004

It appears that you are back on your yearly visit; however,
this year there will be a new set of ground rules.

Stay on the ceiling where I can see you. I really don’t mind if you’re there as long as you’re up high and I don’t have to deal with you.
Please don’t move when I am […]

My Dream for the Future

May 2004

My dream, My reality, My way,
Will I have anytime to play?
I will work hard everyday…
To be a dancer in every way,
Hip Hop, Jazz, Modern, Tap,
Hmm, I bet nobody can top that!
Or maybe I’ll be an actress or judge,
And when people think they’re better,
They’ll think twice to budge.
Or I could be a flight attendant,
Flying way up […]

Winding Roads

May 2004

Roughly turning here I go,
Down a road I will never know,
Winding fast speeding through I
Hope there’s nothing around you.
Watching sharply as I turn
Looking forward past the sky
Seeing you kissing her
Had just put pain in my eyes
Knowing she’ll be your next date,
I’ll have to learn to appreciate
Those loving cards you have made.
Receiving the joy you’ve always […]

Cold dark summer night after morning, blue ice flies would I know him like storms above?
No.

What I Will Be

May 2004

I might be a preacher. I like to preach.
I might be a teacher. I like to teach.
I might be a model and take pictures on the beach.
I might be like Martin and say a speech.
I might be a singer. It’s fun to sing.
I might be rich and buy a billion dollar ring.
I might be a […]

Informance Poem

May 2004

Editors’ Note: “Informance” is a seminar offered at ARTech where the students finalize it by creating an extended monologue about themselves.
I am a teenager trying to be different
I am a child wanting to grow up
I am an actress waiting for a line to make everyone smile
I am the sun streaming through your fingers
I am the […]

When I Grow Up

May 2004

I might be a doctor and help the sick.
I might be a dancer of hip-hop and slick.
I might be a teacher and teach the school.
I might be the president, yeah that’s cool.
I will be a person that learns, earns and gives.
I will be a person that helps the good will.
I will be a person that […]
