Choosing Schools

Massive headaches
you can't get it out of your mind
agonizing misery
everyone congratulates you
on having "choice"
you think it's that good?
this is my future
this decision could affect my whole life
Hell, I'm only 14!
I was the choice was made for me
but no, two unbelievable schools
constant struggle
?

Limerick

It tumbles through the hoop,
no celebration, time to regroup,
we get a steal,
this is surreal,
this is our core group

This poem is about basketball, it says that if you score a basket, maybe you'll wanto celebrate it, but you can't because the game is close and you have to go on full court press, and the whole team is focused, they'll get a steal, because of their excitement, interest in the game, their core group is their team and the team is all really close to each other.

Haiku

The wildlife wakes up,
Youth arrive with faces of joy,
Spring is on its way.

When animals sense the beginning of spring, they wake up after a winter of hibernation, and all the kids start biking, roller blading, walking, going to ice cream stores, playing outside, signaling the start of Spring.

My brother's name is Chris,
His life was full of bliss,
Until that day,
he ran away
