What happened to me,
was no good
Moved from home, ran
away
Go away from pain, If only
i could
See them again, where the
played.

4. You might not be
Love
around anymore,
but you will always
be with us.
In loving memory
You will always be
missed..........

5. Always Lauren, Kylie, Kallie
remembered Sometimes life is taken
Often mistaken
Straight A students
Loving families
She’s in sports
She’s in band
The pain
I can barely stand
Why them
Why now
A stain on my spirit
I feel the pain
I feel the sorrow
My brain hurts and swells
All I can do is look to tomorrow
So many years ago
Pain felt still there
I wish it would leave
But it will always be here

6. Leaving
It happens all the time
I’m use to it
Middle school
Time for laughs and time for joy
Time for crushes
Make friends
That aren’t pretend
They say that friends don’t last forever
Of course I did not believe
About to leave
Sioux Rapids is where ill be at
I run back and forth
Im on the soccer team
Seasons over.
Time to begin a a new life
New town
Makes me frown
I feel so down
Leaving the life I know and love
I guess that part is long gone

7. Home
Someplace new
Someplace far
All I can do is do what I do
Make new friends in this strange place
But for a while ill need my space
Im new in school
Don’t know anybody
But on that day I made some buddies
Baseball was where it started.
My life is now finally charted

8. Ghazal:
Dispair
These lonely times
Sad tipsy alone boy laying sideways;
On a bed filled with tears
Lonely darkness in calm position
No shelter comfort hear
Friends are gone done
Never back so far
Life hard barely stand
Fight honor friends family

9. Lanturne
Pain
Quick
Life lives
Scaring
a boy
fast

10. Young
Young is fun
young is play
I wonder what I will do today
Oh no
Now I see
that I have somewhere else to be
I need to plan for the future
Because I realize that after this
Freshman year will be here.

11. Coming Fast
Its coming quick
Its almost here
I think ill shed a tear
Senior guys
Bigger than me
Time to play with the big leagues
Football is gonna hurt
But I gotta be strong
Nothing will go wrong
A few bruises, a few cuts
nope I end up on my butt

12. Ode
Angels
When angels call
And friends are friendly
They are given faith
From heaven up high
Or are they going to die
Where life begins
Inside our country
Inside our history?
I know nothing
But I this is bothering
They will not take our freedom
Bombs and guns it doesn’t matter
Rest in heaven with Lord
Do not fight back with swords

13. Senryu
Our Lord
Amazing words souring
Those who are knowing, how many
hearts that felt

14. Tyburn
Grandma
Saddest
Friendliest
Loneliest
Oldest
Thinking about sadness, but the
Friendliest
She is the Loneliest, but also the Oldest

15. Didactic
Worship
Shows the path
Lights the way
Down on your knees and pray
Talk
Speak to him
Show him
Follow his words
Read
Know his words
Follow his ways
Read his book, follow his prays
Control
Control your life
Control everyone around you
Show them the light and path

16. Etheree
Old times
Sound
of the children;
hectic
on the slide I play
speak of cootie-filled days
I draw a four square court
and play with my friends
in the cold winter months
pressing hands together
Frost bite is painful and
cold

17. Haiku
Playground
Green Kentucky grass
Shows warming predictions
On the playground of school

18. Limerick
True Friends
A boy needed a friend,
Kyle told him of bullies, he was sad
So Daryn took it into own hands
Kyle will never be bullied again
Kyle said, “ You are my best friend”

19. Monorhyme
Time for Church
I saw that it was quarter past eight
When I, saw lights, ran to see
The lights the sirens so loud
But I went back inside and sang my heart
I saw the cookies and milk
I forgot to use my manners
I used the banners to wipe my face
(Dude, that was so rude)
Down the stairs I go
And slid on the ice
What my mother told me was not nice
My friends were gone, as for church i was done
Nightmares in my head while I lay in bed

20. Monody
Eester
She always walked her dog in the fall
Complained for not being tall.
No longer walked no longer crawled
Seen what happened I bawled
Heart attack on the stairs
Left there in despair
No longer breathing, no longer moving
Found the next day, by family
We lost her, she is gone
Funeral was sad, it has to be done
Life is not only ended by a gun.
Love, Laugh, and live.

21. Tyburn
Winter
Coldest
Darkest
Meanest
GO AWAY SNOW!!!!! Whitest
Sitting in the
Coldest, Darkest
room
It was the Meanest,
Whitest storm.

22. High school Poems
4 more years, going so fast

23. Freshman

24. Acrostic:
Freshman
Fresh meat for the seniors
Really hard to beat the
crowd
Everything made me frown
Sitting down with friends
Hating school
My first day was not cool
Tomorrow was a
A happy ending
Nothing gets me down

25. Freshman hunt
It finally hear
I am in high school
It feels so cool
Classes are harder
Seniors are large
I really don’t want them to charge
Feeling small
wow 6’6
that is really tall.

26. Family
Family is more than
Annoying brothers
Strict Parents
Loud pets
they are
love
life
kindness
fight
light
and also they will always be there
no matter what.

27. Dedication
Blood
Sweat
Tears
Time is now
Time is here
Take a bow
Say the prayer
Who are we?
We are
Football Players

28. Summer
Sun rises, i’m awake
Such a bright and
beautiful day
Summer is the time to
play
All I do is pray for
summer to be back
Summer is what I lack
Thats a huge bummer

29. Anger
Getting creamed
Getting sacked
Might as well leave and pack
Hey we are back
Almost done
Down by so much
Enough’s enough
He runs outside on the line
I was in my prime
Sprinting I jump to tackle
All I heard was a giant THUMP
Cement underneath him

30. Sophomore Year

31. Sophomore
One year down, going so fast
Pretty soon it will be the last
Twelfth grade is so far away
I am a sophomore
Help, yes i could use more
High school is different, no parents
Independence
Out all night
Ha yeah right

32. 1st semester
It was a drag
It was so lame
Teachers I cant complain
I treat them all the same
Mrs. O lets us play games
Can’t figure her out
Sometimes she shouts
Sometimes she sings
I don’t understand her game thing
Everyone else understands
But me
Im still lost
They read her mind
They know what she thinks
Me, well I stink

33. Christmas eve
Time for Family
Time for Friends
I hope it never ends
The ham
The turkey
I hate spam
Christmas time is about
Football games and parties too
Now ill be serious
Im awfully curious
What I get for Christmas this year

34. Presents
College is so far away
But on that Christmas eve day
I got weird things I would say
Some towels
Some college clothing
A mini fridge
With some drinks too
Mountain Dew and Lemonade
A rewards for having good
grades
Seems like my family is saying good
bye
College, Im really shy.
Its not far
Pretty soon ill be off

35. Family
All by the fire
My dad is so tired
Vacation is here, but not for my dad
He’s here for Christmas, I am glad
Grandparents up and cooking the food
The family punch is finally made
Brothers are outside running a bunch
And me, I’m watching football with my dad

36. Christmas Day
Christmas on the farm
Fields all around
Cats in the bard to feed
Make up christmas morning
This christmas will not be boring
Big white tree, lots of lights
Presents all around
All kids are on the ground
Grandmas laughing
Grandpas eating
My dad is handing the gifts out
As the kids scream and laugh
My sister screams
Hey Mister thats mine!
Oh how I love christmas time

37. Start
Christmas over
It is a sad day
School starts on monday
Second semester
Feels like disaster
Bored
New classes
I have different glasses
Now I can see
Now I can tell

38. Junior Year

39. 2 more

Despair
Such Despair
Has found me without defense
Such Pain
Has touched my eye with sharp ends
All my life i never dreamt of this pain
Not physical, emotional is the worst
Such pain

50. Tanka
LOVE
A warm sensation invites itself in
Without notice, without invite
Listening to your heart
For those who do not feel
Your soul will begin to break

Feels weak, useless, and cold
Surgeries will hopefully repair
He may not see, He will not play
Lost with half sight

53. Hunting
Kill the deer
Eat a steer
Shoot the gun
Eat tons of gum
In the Ranger all day long
Looking at danger through a sight
Will he hit it?
Well he might
One shot kill
Oh man what a sight
That bird was shot out of flight
Stupid bird
Don’t fly away
Because Tex will make you scream,
SAY!

54. Fishing
Boat on the lake
Saw a few snakes
Okoboji, IA
thats where its at
We caught a few bass
He almost got a
BIG NORTHERN PIKE
but with one might bite
SNAP
it was gone
so sad, wanted to be done
But he was determined
He sat for two hours
Bored out of mind
Got a few hits
But only a bit
The northern had escaped

55. Without you
So i know that we are done
Love once had is not forever gone
Seeing you in the halls
Makes my heart shrivel up so small
Pain in my gut
Feels like the door was shut
I lost the love of my life
My future wife
Some days I just want the knife
You are my dedication
I tried to use persuasion
But sadly it ended in rejection
I know we fought, I know we tussled
But please can this hurry up and hustle
Im sorry................................
Losing you breaks my heart
I know you might think i’m a tard
A ring is not just a thing
A ring means love
A ring means fight
But a ring also means that you are right
I have to wait
Because when we are back together
Well its great
I know i’m not a poet
I know i’m not a rapper
I know this is kinda gay
But i promise we will be together someday
Love BooBoo

56. Seniors
Senior year was finally hear
Friends to see and laugh and cheer
Everyone together, we are the class of 2012!
We see are pictures on the shelves
Time to almost get out of here.
Almost Christmas
Really sad
Graduation will be both good and bad
Moods are down and Ill feel sorrow.
Tomorrow is another day
Days go by and ill be bothered
When I walk out that door with my mother and father.
College is almost here
I promise I wont shed a tear.

57. Poems
This poem writing was kind fun
Im actually sad its almost done
For a while I was a bum.
but then I wrote and I felt
I never dealt with emotions this strong
Not liking poems was wrong
I am creative
I am a writer
Thanks to Mrs. O
I am finally brighter
