Inauguration Poem

Today is the day,
where a big change will happen
We will soar above the clouds because we are the eagles
This change will be in your live the people of America but also mine
Today I take on a big responsibility of being the president of the United States of America
Of course I don’t know everything there is to know but I will learn and so will you
When I look into this crowd I see the amazing people of america the justice and freedom country!
This day we honor many people we honor you and the people who have fallen for this country
Our flag is still waving because of us the flames are still burning the forest are still standing the water
is still blue I say lets keep it this way
Today is the day.

Abandoned Fun house

He was short and thin
many friends top grades in his class but he loved to do experimental
things and scary things, so like any kid he went to the carnival that came
to town.

He asked his friends to come with him, one was big and tall but wimpy
but as wise as athena, the other normal size and thin he was athletic
and fast as a bull.

when they went there they saw the fun house, as his usual self he went
in but his friends stayed behind

Some say something happened in there because he never came out...

Dear jack,
I don't care about about you being a teacher and not using big word
You are my fan and yes I do read my fan mail
You are right that I am busy
In fact I am as busy as a bee
I myself am not sick but I would love to see one of your poems
And you can use some of the words I use
because copying is the biggest sign of flattery
I have the time for this because I care about them and you
I care about my fans as much as I do to my family.
Sincerely, Mr Walter Dean Myers

Love that girl

Love that girl
Watch her twirl
Watch her run
Watch her love
Love that girl
See that girl
Be the dancing queen
See her jump as high as the clouds
See her run as fast as a cheetah
Swish swish swish she as smooth as a skier
Love that girl

Ode to winter
Dear winter,
I honestly don't think you have enough time to show yourself
To be honest you`re my favorite season
To be honest you bring coldth
To be honest you bring fun sports like basketball, lacrosse, and skiing
You bring the warmth we all feel inside of us
So for this I thank you winter
Thank you for everything
Thank you for bringing fun things to do
Thank you for bringing fun drinks
Thank you for being there
Sincerely Will.

Haiku story

Billy bobby ran
Billy bobby bounced
Billy bobby sat
He had energy
As much as a gazelle but
When tired he sits
