Quatrains

The wolves growl
and howl
At eachother in the woods
I bet you they'd eat everything if they could

I love my dog
She's as sweet as can be
She got lost in the fog
Because she had to pee

My dad's in the army
My mom used to be
He's gone over seas
I'm sure he won't freeze

Limerick

I like to play volleyball
It's said you have to be tall
To not hit the net
There is nothing to fret
Because that's not true at all

I like reading books a lot
At least that's what I've been taught
I read in spare time
I like to read signs
I read books that my mom bought

Epitaph

Billy Bob lays here
Dead like a run over deer
He died a slow death
Because he did meth

Lies here in the dew
Because she waqs shot
Without a thought

The birds fly by
High in the sky
Way above the clouds
Flying free and careless
How I wish that I could fly
And be like a bird
Flying anywhere I please
Knowing that I could go back if I wanted to

I Am Poem

I am a volleyball player.
I wonder if the coach thinks I'm any good.
I hear the sound of a ball hitting someones ahnd.
I see it go over the net.
I want to be the best.
I am a volleyball player.

I pretend to dive for a ball.
I feel excited to win a game.
I touch the ball and hit it.
I worry about it hitting the net.
I cry knowing I lost the game for my team.
I am a volleyball player.

I understand most of the game.
I say "got it".
I dream of being the best.
I try my best.
I hope I am good enough.
I am a volleyball player.

I say I can handle it.
I dream of him never having to go back.
I try to be strong for my family.
I hope he will come home safe.

Free Verse

This lady is killing my back
I wish I were running free
This place is rather noisy,
and that guy looks like a goof
He needs to stop hitting me with that whip
If he doesn't I'm going to charge at him
Oh how I wish I could get out of this circus
And keep running and running
