My Heart is Beating

By G’Lyani

When I think of my heart beating awake.

I think of when I have energy and nothing boring.

I think of art.

Art makes me relax and what to do it, even if I’m tired.

Some people like art because in art you can draw anything you want.

And you can free draw or you can challenge yourself 

or you can scribble and after turn it into art.

What Makes Me Feel Alive

By, Josiah

What makes me feel alive?

My friends and my family

and my brothers

and to see my grandma

and to play with my friends

and to be happy.

I’m glad to be alive

and to play soccer, and badminton

and

to play with my brother

and talk with my brother, when we see each other we talk about god.

My Forgetters

By, Alex

I remember my B.F.F. J.B.

I remember my old N.S.

I remember Futurama.

I remember an old park I used to love a lot

and don’t go to a lot.

The Street Cleaner

By, Kayla

The street cleaner smells the rain from this morning

and the food from down the street.

They smell the autumn day

and they taste their fruit at lunch.

This Year

By, Isaiah

The color yellow

Smelling of fireworks, like burning.

Sounding like a loud: boom!!!

I am a komodo dragon

for: to be a better person

fire sleeping

My World

By, Mikeyon

Basketball makes me feel awake because it’s a lot of moving around.

It makes me feel good when I make a shot.

I love to play with my friends and teammates,

I feel proud when I beat somebody bigger than me.

Especially when I verse my brother, and Elijah and London.

It feels good playing basketball with my dad.

He’s my best coach ever.

Basketball

By, Christian

On Saturday I was at basketball

We were versing Leif Ericson school.

We started off with ten in the first half.

Next we ended with 31 + 00 in the last quarter.

The next day I got to play with my friends all day,

and I went to the mall to get basketball cards and football cards.

The Star

By, Kaiden

…The screen turns, he turns to channel 1

Michael Jordan highlights come on.

He slam dunks on someone and he sticks out his tongue,

and stars glow around the screen.

He blocks the opponent’s shot and all you hear is: Slap!

And Jordan shoots the three and swishes!
