My Poetry

Family

I love my family,

My family is true,

There's nothing wrong with the things they do,

We scream and shout,

We laugh and play,

We have fun all day,

But most of all...

I love my family and my family is true.

Bailey
Cute and cuddly,
Funny and smart,
Diva and stylish,
We love her,
   My dog...
Bailey.

The Light
I see the light,
 Shining bright in my eyes,
it's blinding me,
like the sun in the sky.

I see the light,
shining bright in my eyes,
what will it do,
shining in my eyes.

I see the light,
shining bright in my eyes.


Blue Shoes
Blue bad shoes,
gives you the blues,

the blues gives you,
big bad blue shoes,

blue shoes,
is a big bad blue.

Best Friend
A best friend is like when the world,
 turns around.

A best friend is as nice as a,
cow.

A best friend,
 makes you as happy,
 as eating your favourite food.

What Is That Smell        (french fries)
what is that I smell,
it smells salty and good!,
what is that smell coming from the cafeteria,
I think,
I think!
french fries! :)

Concerns About the World

I am Endangered

I am Endangered
I am Endangered,
I run,
And search,
For safety,
For those who love me,
And those, in which I love,
For those who care,
For food,
For warmth,
For love,
For me,
Or someone like me,
Anyone who cares,
In a cruel world,
Of hunters,
And the hunted.
My dreams,
Show a world,
Of many,
 Like me,
The wish,
That I,
 And others like me,
Were safe,
And taken off the list,
For I am endangered now,
But maybe later,
There will be many,
To fight for,
Existence.
