Be Yourself
Cristian P.
Laughter is comedy.
When we get in a game
We try to have fun!
And we run
To have a ton of fun!
We try and try
And we don't cry.
We especially DON'T LIE!
We laugh to have
A good time.
The kicks that we make
Are like metal.
We don't get bored
'Cause we're in America SCORES!
The Power
Bryan G.
I've got the power
To take a shower
For half an hour
Then climb the tower
My tongue is sour
So I scream louder!
My cousin wears baby powder
My grades will never get lower
Even though there is a confusing wind-blower
And everybody likes a
Glow-stick glower
But there's one thing I HATE
And that's called yogurt!
I Am?
Yohansel M.
I am a leopard fast and strong
Not a bird slow and weak
I am like a Lamborghini fast and cool
Not a rusty car
I am an angel nice and soft
Not a devil bad and rough
I am a good person
I am not bad
I am a party cool and loud
Not a little birthday party
I am a strong hurricane
Not a weak one
I am like fire so red hot
Not a water bad, weak
I am red like a tomato
I'm tasty...not so bad
I am relaxing
I am so soft
Not hyper and rough.
Mandala Poem
Jorge C.
I am fast, dangerous, and wild like a cheetah
Not slow, common, and safe like a fish
I am rare and dangerous like poison ivy
Not yellow, common, and safe like a daisy
I am hot and relaxing like summer
Not cold and stressful like winter
I am loud, heavy, and sooometimes annoying like a drum
Not soft and light like a flute
I am fast, cool, and amazing like a Volkswagen
Not slow, uncool, and sluggish like a cargo truck
I am dangerous, scary, and violent like a hurricane
Not delicate like a fall breeze
I am heavy and full of value like gold
Not light and of little value like silver
I am bright and inspirational like red
Not dark and uninspiring like black
I am smiling and laughing like when you’re happy!
Not frowning and angry like being sad.
Bravo
Mario V.
I am a tiger. I am dangerous and hunt animals!
I am trouble. I don’t run slow.
I smell good like a flower. I am not a weed that a person wants to get rid of. No one wants to get rid of me!
I am summer. I am sunnier than ever! I am not spring that is Not hot heat that is burning people. And is not bright.
I am a drum. I like to be LOUD! I am not a piano. I would hate to have a key BORED.
And a piano is not loud.
I am a truck. I am the BIGGEST CAR ON EARTH.
Zee Zee
Ahmaad G.
I am a gazelle. I am good at that zee zee. And colors!
I am not crazy. And I am not a turtle.
I am a pitcher plant. I have a special liquid that catches FLIES!
And I am gooood. I am not a fly. And I am not a tree.
I am water. I am happy. I am not summer. I am red. I am red and I am fire.
I am not water.
I Am/ I Am Not
Jonathan M.
I am a tiger.
I am good and smart.
I am like a rose
And I am handsome
I like summer
I don’t like winter
I like to play a drumset
And I am COOL.
I like to drive a race car.
And I am happy.
Not sad.
Hungry Fish
Fruquan W.
I am a fish that likes to eat
I am a rose. It does not need to eat to live.
To live it needs the sun.
I am not the Fall because the leaves fall off.
You can make a sound that is loud.
I am a van that needs gas to run.
I am somebody!
Superpower Costume
Yunior A.
Superpowers
I feel on Halloween
When I am in a costume
That I am UNSTOPPABLE
I help people
If they are in a fire
I will blow the fire out!
The fire is not hot to me.
Then I fly.
I go around the Earth.
I see the planet.
Earth is nice.
Me
Flakron K.
I am fast and nice like a baby cheetah
Not a snail slow and mean
I am hot and cool like summer
Not winter cold and ice
I am blue and fast like a Ferrari
Not an old car white and ugly
I am a Venus Flytrap viscous and green
Not a rose, red and with bees on it
I am happy and cool
Not sad, sensitive, and cute
I am the ice, freezing cold
Not rain, cold and WET.
Whatever I Am
Gabriel M.
I am thunder, loud and fierce!
I am not snow, soundless and weak.
I am a Bugatti Veyron, fastest in the world—PLUS fancy
I am not a van, slow and dingy.
I am the color black, never-ending and silent
I am not the color white, ending and loud.
I am a clarinet, long and complex
I am not a whistle, small and simple.
My Time
Gilberto (Tito) A.
My time in America SCORES is fun
My team is bright like the shining sun!
I love both subjects:
Poetry and Soccer
But the thing I most love are my teachers:
Coach Wingate, Coach Rob, Coach Tova, and Coach Chelsea.
These teachers are very nice
They show me that they are my best friends!
I love America SCORES
I will NEVER QUIT…
Until I get to 6th grade…
And have to split!
