True Love True love is Really hard to
find. Until you know that he will be your shining
star for life. Especially when you have to Let
go Of the person you thought was the one. Visions
of happiness comes when I sleep. Every night I
wonder when he will come to me. Vivian

The Dog and the Cat By Angel Once upon a
time, there was a beautiful cat named Rose. She
was going with her sister to the city. She left
house wearing a new dress. While she was
walking, there was a rock she didnt see. She
tripped over the rock and then she felt in the
mud. Close to her was a dog named Flaco.
Rose said,cant you call my mom to pick me
up? He said, Of course. But he didnt
call her mom. He called his friend. The dogs
friend asked, Did you call me? The dog
replied, Yes. ThEn he said that he thought
that Rose was the girl the people from the town
had been looking for five years. Rose was
reunited with her family. They decided to adopt
Flaco and his friend. They all lived happily
ever after.

I had to say goodbye I had to let go of our
friendship Because it wasnt working out I
trusted you but you gave away my secrets So now
Im hurt inside I cant feel my heart beating Am
I even breathing? I am too scared to say
anymore Can you see the fire in my eyes? I feel
like Im running a fever, Am I? Why did you
blow my trust? Did you wont our friendship to
end? Because it just did Goodbye I stopped
speaking to you Because our friendship was
over When you called, I picked up And
immediately hung up the phone Why did you call
me? You know that I wouldnt speak to you I said
our friendship was over It seems like you really
cared But you didnt care to apologize So I said
goodbye I didnt think our friendship would end
so soon I expected our friendship to last as
long as we were together It didnt When you
walked by me and tried to say hi I turned the
other way And didnt say hi back Didnt you hear
when I told you? Our friendship was over I guess
you didnt listen When I told you
Goodbye By Patrice
We didnt keep in touch For about a year When
you name was said I felt like I was gonna throw
up Because I was so mad at you. You hurt me and
I couldnt handle All the pain, stress, and
drama You cause towards me You were my friend,
my buddy, My best friend But I said Goodbye And
we ended our friendship.

A Poem For You...... Someday youll love me
Someday youll care Someday youll treasure the
moments we shared. Someday youll see how long
I loved you and only time could tell. Someday
youll find love is not a game My heart will not
be here My heart will be gone. Then youll
remember our love and then youll remember the
tears I once cried. Someday I will realize what
it is to die You will realize you said good
bye. Someday youll hear a poem or song and say
My God I was wrong. Someday youll care. But
someday, my darling, I wont be there. By
Jessica

Untitled Our eyes reflect upon the dark sun in a
dangerous gaze Our ears listen for sounds of
relief from below And we move towards them in
fear They are our enemy and we are their
prize Our lives are brief and pointless for
them We live like slaves in pools of mud Their
master plan is shielded from our amateur
eyes Power and greed is all they know And as we
lift our heads to the black sky We are blinded as
shreds of light emerge The sky shows us a new
way Slowly we open our mouths to speak But we are
silenced Now they are aware of our knowledge And
as the sky lights up again We are inspired to
speak out once more This trial creates chaos for
all mankind But in a string of luck Our words
overthrow them of their greedy command This
empowerment is no longer theirs And like never
before, we all live as one. By Sarah

My Pond The morning opens my eyes to a new
day The day is full of surprises In my special
place, my pond is a magnet A heaven to the brutal
desert The home for many diverse creatures Some
bury themselves beneath the relieving moisture
and remain mysterious Some show off their
beautiful colors and talents above the deserts
glass They make the life cycle in my special
place A never-ending circle of life flutters
about my pond Not to mention the colors,
unimaginable to describe They tell a story that
to put into words in unthinkable Day and night
for survival, and recreation My pond is the
heaven of the desert Taylor
POND This small pond, it started out as a little
hollow, it became what it is, a little blue dot
in the big, hot desert. This small pond, it
blossomed with varieties of insects, plants
blooming on its surface, it became full of
life. This small pond, it is a home during the
day for colorful dragonflies and morning
doves, delicate water lilies floating,
opening their thin petals to take in the rising
suns rays. This small pond, it is a home during
the night for a male Coopers hawk, who became
companions with a female great horned
owl, watching the helpless quail with predator
eyes. This small pond, it started out as a
little hollow, it became what it is, a little
blue dot in the big, hot desert. Araceli

Sweat is dripping from head to toe, Your feet are
movin really slow, Your team is down by only
4, And your coach is screaming you better
score! You get the ball, you dribble down
court, Your mind is yelling ABORT! ABORT! Once
you get there you lose your grip, You quickly
shoot it for a 2 point dip, It hits the rim and
it goes in, It feels you are gonna win. Down by
one not all is lost, Towards your hoop the ball
is tossed, A two point sinker you feel real
down, Your face is showin' a major frown, The
balls thrown in then passed to you, Your spirits
are replenished, they feel real new, You throw it
up for the ally-oop, Then a teammate dunks the
hoop. The balls back in play and moving
fast, All the players are getting really
gassed, Your starting to play on raw emotion, And
then you get the ball in a huge commotion, You
give a pass, The defense you harass, The ball is
then thrown back to you, The yelling in the crowd
is aimed and true, You dribble, fake, and
soar, Your feet are leaving the wooden floor, You
dunk it, and then youre fouled, From the crowd
you hear no sound, The ref is giving you two
shots, Your throat and muscles are tied in
knots. You shoot it, the ball goes in, Now your
feeling a great big win, One more shot is still
to go, Your muscles tense and then you
throw, Your shot goes wide with three seconds to
go. Youre are starting to feel real low. Your
team is winning by only one, The buzzer sounds
you have just won! Your team is running at you
real fast, The championship is yours at
last, Your name is called for MVP, Your mind is
running really free, You take the trophy and pass
it around, You think that you have just been
crowned. You are a champion!!!!! by Stan

SeedFolks Poem The Gibb Street Garden By
Dustin I read a book called SEEDFOLKS This is
my poem about it.
The Gibb Street Garden What a place All its
tremendous Beauty and grace The Community was
Coming together No matter what Your race or
your color No matter the weather Rain or
shine Theyd say each morning Hows that little
garden of mine? But of all things to happen A
horrible sin They broke off Cause of the color of
their skin The people saw how dumb they were So
they cleared out their minds Without a blur Back
to the way they were They started planting
again Each and every one They helped each
other In the rain and sun And one little girl
started it all And those 6 little beans would not
fall So if you can see the garden in its grace I
would, for its a glorious place

Scared by Sarah Im scared of
everything, Just everything and anything, Im
scared to breathe, thinking it will be my last
breath, Im scared to talk, thinking I will say
something stupid, Im scared to tell someone "I
like you", thinking they will reject me, Im
scared of the future, thinking I will not
succeed, Im scared to be me, thinking I will
offend someone, Im scared to be someone Im not,
thinking I will forget my real self, Im scared
to lie, thinking someone will find out the
truth, Im scared to tell the truth, thinking
someone will not believe me, Im scared to
grow-up, thinking I wont have time for what I
love any longer, Im scared to live life,
thinking what I thought it was, wasnt anything
near that Im just so scared, Im scared of
everything, Just everything and anything.

On My Own Vivian Verse 1 Thats the way you see
me. But its not what I am. Leave your worries
behind. Now youre going to hear what I have to
say. Please dont try to stop me. Now its time
for me to do things on my own. Let me do it my
way. All I ever do is listen to you saying that
Im just a problem. But now I know what I should
do. Chorus Dont start now. The feelings just
come and gone. Youve played me far too long. But
now Im over you. Toodle-loo baby (x2) Verse
2 Thats the way you judge me. Saying stuff
about me isnt the way to be. Just because you
think you know me. You dont know my expressions.
Never tried to understand my way of life. You
never understood me. Even though that I am
younger I still know the way to keep it stronger.
Theres a bright new world out there for
me. Chorus Bridge All I wanted was to spend
some time with you. But I never got a single sign
from you. Do you have to be a player hanging with
your crew? Thinking I wouldnt know? Dont look
back because its all ancient history. Take a
look around it aint no mystery. Its time for
you to find another fantasy. Because I am ending
it with you. Chorus (x2)

Boys and Girls
Crunch! A boy crunched a hot Cheetoh in
my ear!, I said to myself. I wish boys were
not allowed in my class because theyre always
bothering me. Well, not all of them, of course.
Maybe its because I say they are piggies and
then I run as fast as I can, but I will always
say that theyre not polite because they are so
messy when they eat and they don't wash their
hands before they eat (not all boys).
My friends don't crunch or munch in class, only
in lunch but at least not in my ear and they
don't make me say Ooh get away you piggy. When
I am with my friends they are polite because if
theyre not, I will say, Can you please be
polite? If she is my friend, and if she doesn't
stop, that means theyre not my friends.
As I have told you, boys are not as clean as
girls and they are not polite. (But sometimes
theyre clean. Sometimes the boys are really
smart. Not only can they be mean, but many of
them say bad things to girls, like youre
really weird and you are dumb. Why I think
theyre not nice is because they eat with their
mouths open and you can see the food that they
are eating or that they push in line if they know
you are a girl. Its not like I pay
attention to any of their weirdness and their
silly words. With only girls, the class smells
good like peaches, apples, watermelon,
Cantaloupe, strawberries and no cheese and no
sweat at all. At least that is something good
too. But when we are with the boys, they do not
make us talk as much as with our friends.
If we have all the classes with all girls we
wont think about boyfriends till we are 15 and
in high school. And most importantly, if we work
with boys we might fall in love, like if we learn
what they like and we like the same thing and we
say or talk about them with our friends, then
wed have to say that we have something to talk
about. Now you have heard what I think about
piggies, and again (not all boys!), you can see
why I think we should have separate classes.

HOMELESS PEOPLE By Zurisadai I think that
we are responsible to take care of the homeless
people because their children could die and the
whole family could die too! They dont have any
money. They need time to get money. So we are
responsible because we can give them some money
or tell the police that a family needs a place to
sleep or they need time to find a job. We
have to think about the children and the rest of
the family and about their lives. They are normal
people only they had heard life. They are humans
like us. What I mean is that we are have a house
and a bed and something warm to keep them from
the cold and a bed so they can sleep well. They
need a house that could protect them self. They
are humans. I have five reasons that we are
responsible My first reason is We are
responsible to take care of homeless people
because they are people and humans like us so
they are special to us. Maybe we could have
friend who are homeless people or they could be a
very kind and a good friend to you. My
second reason is We do not want people dying for
food. They dont have any money to buy food. But
if they need help we can help them to take a
job to there family. My third reason is
Their children could die of by getting an
infection. Could not going to have a life like
us. And that when we have to help them to get a
life too! My fourth reason is They need
money. Thats why we are responsible to help each
other and especially the homeless people. Because
they are especial to my God if the homeless
people have little of money they could buy some
food or a apt My last reason is We are
Americans. We help people. If we help each other
I think that we will be a happy, and proud of our
selves because we helped the homeless people.
They are going to remember you if you do not have
any money to buy some food and they are working.
They could help you too like you helped them. And
they are going to help other people and those
people are going to help other people and it is
going to keep going. Then the United States will
be happy and proud of themselves to have people
care for each other and be responsible for each
other. I am happy to help each person or be
responsible for other people

No Longer You slip through my fingers like
sand and you are amongst all the other grains
of sand I cannot find you... You are like water
which truly fascinates me... I once held some of
you in a glass cup but my fingers slipped, the
glass had shattered, and you were lost for I
held you no longer. You are a feather that I
held in my hand I cherished your presence but
the wind swept you from my hold. It blew you
from my reach and although I chased you on and
on, hoping I would hold my feather once
again, I could not catch you... I held you no
longer. Written by Laura

DEBEREMOS TENER CLASES DEL MISMO GENERO?
Yo pienso que nosotros no deberíamos tener clases
del mismo genero, porque si tenemos clases
mezcladas con niñas, podríamos intercambiar más
ideas. También podríamos sentirnos más cómodos
los unos a los otros. Podríamos participar mucho
más de lo que participaríamos en clases del mismo
genero. Por eso yo pienso que deberíamos tener
clases mezcladas. También pienso que
debemos tener clases mezcladas porque las niñas
son muy inteligentes. Cuando nosotros tenemos que
hablar en frente de la clase y cuando ellas están
en nuestro grupo, nosotros nos sentimos confiados
con ellas, y así nosotrs nos podríamos hablar
para en frente de la clase y podríamos hablar con
confianza. Otra razón para que tengamos
clases mezcladas es que podemos estar con
nuestros amigos o amigas y así también nos
podríamos sentir comodos. También pienso que
debemos tener clases mezcladas porque si tenemos
clases del mismo genero podríamos aburrirnos, y
también alguien podría empesar a pelear con otra
personas, y los podrían poner en una
detención. By José

ANGEL DE MI GUARDA Angel de mi guarda de mi
dulce compañia, no me desampares ni de noche
ni de día.
Socorro
Desamparados Nosotros no somos responsables de
que ellos no tengan lugar donde vivir. Estas son
mis tres razones. La primera es que ellos
pueden trabajar.Mi segunda razón es porque pueden
tener un hogar. Mi última razón que el gobierno
no los va a mantener. Les voy a explicar mi
primera razón. Nosotros no somos responsables de
que no tengan un trabajo. Por que tal vez ellos
son flojos. Tal vez tan un pretesdo para no ir a
trabajar. También si apenas alcansan para comer
está bien . Para así ya no van a tener
hambre. Ahora les voy a explicar mi segunda
razón. Es también con ese dinero se puede
comprarán lugar donde vivir. Luego pueden buscar
un hogar más grande y cómodo. Si no un hogar
donde vivan otras personas. Para que así no
paguen mucho y tengan dinero para comer . Mi
última razón es que el gobierno no los va a
mantener. Si los va a mantener, pero solamente
mientras buscan un trabajo. Pero no siempre los
va a mantener el gobierno. Si son flojos, el
gobierno tal vez se de cuenta . También pueden
trabajar por el gobierno. Estas son mis tres
razones . Que no somos responsables de que ellos
si no tienen un trabajo y una vivienda en donde
vivir. Si están de acuerdo conmigo, que
bien. Rubi

Clases de niños y niñas Yo pienso que
deberíamos tener clases de niños y niñas porque
podemos aprender más de nosotros mismos. También
no hablamos mucho con los demás con sus amigas
porque no nos podemos ver. Y así no hablamos de
cosas que no vienen al caso sobre lo que estamos
hablando en clase. Y ponemos más atencián en la
clase y aprendemos más. Hablamos mucho con las
amigas. Hablamos de cosassinimportancia también
hablamos de novios de chismes de tus compañeras.

Clases con el mismo genero! Las niñas
nececitamos estar con las niñas por que tenemos
más confianza con nosotras mismas. Un buen
ejemplo sería cuando las niñas hablan sobre cosas
de mujeres, porque hay veces que los niños se
meten en lo que no les importa. Hay muchas cosas
que a nosotras las niñas, no nos gustan sobre los
barones. Por ejemplo, son muy enfadosos, pero muy
latosos. Nosotras las niñas somos más calmadas
que los niños porque nosotros ponemos más
atención en clase que los barones. Los barones
no se pueden concentrar porque se distraín por
cualquiera cosa que una persona haga o diga. Por
eso, es que las mujercitas somos más estudiosas
que los barones porque ponemos más atención en
clase y no somos distraídas por cualquiera cosa
que pase. Aunque aveces las mujercitas si nos
distraemos un poco cuando pasa algo chistoso.
Aunque nos reamos por algo muy chistoso, no se
significa que somos muy distraidas.Yo pienso que
el ochenta y cinco porciento de las mujercitas
somos más inteligentes que los barones. Las
mujercitas tienen más confianza entre ellas
mismas porque son mujercitas y ellas se sienten
más cómodas hablando con mujercitas que con
hombrecitos. Ellas no se sienten cómodas hablando
con los hombrecitos porque los hombrecitos son
muy chismosos porque ellos les platican todo a
sus amigos. Después los amigos irán con más
personas a decirles y luego se irá a ser un rumor
y toda la escuela se enterará de lo
ocurrido. María

Las clases del mismo genero By Cristina Yo
pienso que debemos tener clases del mismo genero
porque a veces los niños hablan mucho de cosas
que no vienen al caso. Otra idea es que las niñas
somos más calmadas que los niños . Yo pienso
también que debemos tener clases del mismo genero
por que los niños a veces no quieren trabajar con
nosotros, las niñas. Porque dicen que no más
estamos hablando de niños o de otras cosas. Las
niñas piensan en el estudio y en lo que estamos
estudiando y los niños no. Las niñas sacamos
mejores calificasiones. Podemos estar hablando
de cosas de las mujeres. También, cuando estemos
presentando un proyecto, los niños se pueden
estar riendo.
Classes Juntos By Yamila Había una
vez una maestra que le gustaba preguntar mucho.
Un día me pregunto que piensas hacerca de las
clases separadas?.Yo le dije que no me parecia
justo que nos separen.Ella me dijo dame tres
rasones de porque no y despues apoya tu
respuesta.Mi primera rasón fue que ellos nos
pueden alludar en algunas cosas.Podemos perder la
verguensa de trabajar con ellos.Y por ultimo
algunas niñas tienen sus novios. Cuando
no entendemos la tarea de matemáticas, por
ejemplo, porque es un poco complicada. Pero por
suerte hay un niño en la clase que entiende un
poco más.Puede resolver problemas muy dificiles.
Si no tuviese él o lo demas niños con quien
ariamos grupo. También cuando la maestra
nos dice que un niño puede esplicar sobre la
tarea. Empesamos a decir que no porque no estamos
acostumbrada a trabajar con ellos. Y si vamos no
travajamos porque nos da pena. Ellos se enojan
porque piensan que no nos gusta trabajar.
Para las niñas que tienen sus novios es muy lindo
estar mirandolos. Ver como trabajan y las miran y
se dicen cosas. A mi me da risa ver las niñas que
se ponen selosas cuando hablan sus novios con
otras niñas. Pero para ellas no es tan
lindo por eso no es justo que no podamos trabajar
con niños. Esa es mi opinión y espero que
piensen igual que mi.
