A Writer’s Poem

I cannot put my pen down There are too many thoughts in my head That is why, Mom and Dad I cannot go to bed

I refuse to lie down and sleep I’ll miss my train of thought I must write everything down And frankly that’s a lot

You may think I’m bonkers And perhaps I am You’ve never felt how I do When a pencil’s in my hand

I don’t care if I’m tired I simply need to write If I don’t finish this today <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%; text-align: center;">It will ruin my whole night!

A Reader’s Poem

Some books should be tasted And others thoroughly chewed But I always devour them Like my favorite food

I love to read It’s very true I know I stay up late But that’s just what I do

Maybe I should slow down But I don’t know how I’d do it It’s simply instinct when I open a book To go and plow right through it

My time is limited So whatever life is worth I’ve made it my lifetime goal To read every book on earth.

Dedicated to Harry Potter

** A Cold and Stormy Night **

It was a cold and stormy night As I pulled out my pen. My parchment sat there on the desk What was to be written?

A question always pondered By one who loves to write And now I had to wonder For my paper’s blank and white

Silence rang throughout the room As I sat there and thought After what seemed an eternity Ideas began to wrought

The only sound was scratching And my pen was flying I must finish soon For now the light is dying

And my work began “It was a cold and stormy night” In truth it was I shivered as I continued to write.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Corbel','sans-serif'; font-size: 18pt; text-align: center;">I think it’s getting louder now <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Corbel','sans-serif'; font-size: 18pt; text-align: center;">This really will not do <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Corbel','sans-serif'; font-size: 18pt; text-align: center;">Now I ask you how <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Corbel','sans-serif'; font-size: 18pt; text-align: center;">I’ll ever make it through

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'HGHeiseiMinchotaiW9','serif'; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">You can tell me what to do <span style="display: block; font-family: 'HGHeiseiMinchotaiW9','serif'; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">I’ll nod and say I'll do it <span style="display: block; font-family: 'HGHeiseiMinchotaiW9','serif'; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">You might not even know <span style="display: block; font-family: 'HGHeiseiMinchotaiW9','serif'; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">That I’m ignoring you all through it

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'HGHeiseiMinchotaiW9','serif'; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">Tell me all your worries <span style="display: block; font-family: 'HGHeiseiMinchotaiW9','serif'; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">I’ll pretend to care <span style="display: block; font-family: 'HGHeiseiMinchotaiW9','serif'; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">If I really heard you <span style="display: block; font-family: 'HGHeiseiMinchotaiW9','serif'; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">I listened on a dare

** Summer Time **

Down by the creek I'll sit down on the rocks I'll kick off my shoes And pull off my socks

It's time to relax Lay down on the grass It's time to stop working And cramming for class

Summer has come No more waiting at last It's hard to believe How much time has passed

School was so boring I hated it much the only subject I liked was lunch

What? Where did summer go? How long did this poem take Now I have to wait till next year At least I still have winter break.

** Popcorn **

Pop, pop, pop My favorite sound As I watch The spinning tray go round

Popcorn's delicious And fun to eat Possibly My favorite treat

Choose popcorn If you have a choice Eat it and We'll all rejoice

It's snack time’s best friend Butter it up Pop it and Eat it in a bowl or a cup

Oh no! This is really bad There's no more I guess I'll make another bag

I am from La La Land. From Harry Potter and Fantasy From dreams and myths I am from my mind.

I am form Rictor and Boonenburg, Two intertwined From hugs and compliments From fights and anger I am from family

I am from mountains From pine trees and snow From happy and sad, People of all sorts I am from Colorado

I am from jokes and laughter From smiles From spirit and happiness I am from myself.
