Book/ Author
Write a short poem (6-10 lines) about what you have been reading so far.

Love is great
Love never fails
the absence of nuturing love is devastating...
the need of a mother love is never secondary
searching for love in all the wrong places
Leaves one neglected longing for love...in heaven
(double Dippin)

Book/black like me Author John Howard griffin
Once white
Now black
Running through tha streets
Taking all the smack
Using tha black only water
Cant use tha white restroom
im just another actor
in this black costume

Betrayed by P.C. Cast

Thought about it today
Didn't really noticed it
Felt the difference
But didn't believe it
What was coming I didn't know it
She was about to show it
Betrayal.

book= wind up the river
fighting against rebels
Indians with different fighting kind of levels
freezing so cold
but i have to stick to my goal
then finding love
i don't feel cold anymore
there no difference in rich or poor
that's what i though until i could reach up to her.

G-Spot By:Norie Poem: What do you do?

What do you do?
when he is all you know
you want to leave
but you know he'll never let you go
there is no way out
plus you have no money
and he beats you
because he thinks it funny
so again I ask
what do you do?
what do you do?

Snakehead By Anthony Horowitz

thought you were done
but now you are back
learning of new and exciting lives
always in the middle of trouble
but what will you learn
will it be what you want
or will you be disappointed like all the rest

Watchmen/Alan Moore

what would you do
if the world was blown
people killed
for reasons unknown
fight back
against the world
before anyone has known

Marked by Kristen Cast and P.C.Cast

Airy light of the moon
Mystery of the deep earth
Power of the flowing water
Warmth of the burning flame
In Nyx's name we call to thee,
come to aid us in our time of need.

hard to handle/lori foster

put up a fight
but dont fight me
im here to help
just let me
focus on your business
i am a distraction
let me love you and you love me
put up a fight
together

Pain and sadness
Hope and faith
Why does she feel this pain
How can she live and stand
Her head is held low
Her heart is sunken deep down
The pain is deep the man took her down
She was never found

Never

I never forgot who i was
I was just a little lost
Never tough i could find my way back
Until you reach for me and showed me the way back
I knew you love me
I knew you would come back
But i never tough i would be this fast

The Looking Glass Wars

I forget because no one believed me, no one cares
They think I lie because they don't know.
So I become them, become normal,I stop believing myself.
But then you showed up, someone I tried my hardest to forget.
You tore off my mask I worked so hard to place, without a word.
Now I'm doubting everything i know, 15 years later I'm lost all over again.

Star Wars Episode 3 by Patricia C. Wrede

Fly to save
Fly to fight
Crash and still fight
Walk to a room with the prisoner and evil appears
Slay evil and save the prisoner which has evil within
Feeling you did something that is not right

Eclipse By: Stephanie Meyer

Dangerous path
wolves that run with the pack
dangerous beasts
that eat like its a feast
They run to the east
in a running spree
just to kill every leech
that lurks in their reach.

The Nature of Jade: By Deb Caletti

Panicing is danderous
and love can heal it.
The boy in the red jacket, and
the baby on his back, walk
into your life, making
that ever so true. Follow your
heart, and prevent the anxiety.
Love them with all your heart,
and there will be no more
panicing.

Good Enough; Paula Yoo

Day and night
Work work work
Your life's a routine.
Go to school,
eat, sleep, do practice tests.
No room for yourself
You worry about not looking pretty enough
or straying from "the pack"
But remember, beauty fades and smarts never do.
You suddenly don't care and you feel weird
But good.
This new feeling, so awesome and real.
This...freedom.
Things will never be the same.

The Old Man And The Sea/Ernest Hemingway

Old man out at sea
Fishing on a small boat
In search to be free
Hoping to float

facing the monster
With a little boy
Hoping to become a teacher
Fighting just like troy

A teenage from school
at an early age so confused
from telling the reality from the truth
and having a true friend
but even that friendship
is not strong enough to hold trust.
