recited together
Quiet as a mouse, but not at my house,
my team work is hard, hard as stone
when I see the ball my point postpones,
I may not seem athletic,
I may not,
but it’s like a roller coaster may seem scary
but actually may be fun.
I escape to freedom up the court
but back to prison when I see a point,
acting good
can’t wear hoods.
The ball goes up and down like an airplane
working hard like an NBA player
finally relaxing
with the time passing,
throwing a small ball into a glove
or a weird shaped ball into a glove.
recited by one person
At school I do my best to complete my work,
at school my voice is low and quiet when I speak,
at home I’m crazy like a lion,
energized like a fully charged phone,
I am fast like a cheetah,
I am smart like Albert,
I laugh a lot at school,
but stay quiet at home.
At school I bravely smile or laugh out loud,
at school I don’t have much of an appetite,
I eat good food at home, but nasty food at school,
I talk a lot because I’m a chatterbox,
at home I’m calm like a bird.
Leah
2 different people,
only one body
Focused and calm,
distracted and nervous.
Ashton
2 different people,
only one body
Calm and quiet,
energetic and loud.
Ariah
2 different people,
only one body
with friends and bored,
with family and entertained.
Joaquin
2 different people,
only one body
good at it, good attitude,
great at it, bad attitude.
Malachi
At school, I’m focused
at home I’m not,
at home I play lots of video games
with voices in my ear,
at school I read books and write poetry,
when I’m at home I hangout with my mom.
And at school I play basketball,
at home I get to move around, at home
I have to sit in my seat.
Ruby
Outside of school I’m awkward and forget how to talk to people,
Sometimes I can look like a deer staring at headlights in a big group of people.
She is calm, quiet, and likes to mind her business.
Julian
Barley free mostly trapped,
I’m out with my friends hearing them rap, already done it’s a wrap.
Kamiyah
At home I’m not so smart, at school I act smart,
but not all the time, I get very crazy when someone is irritating,
I can get very upset but I try my best.
