Untitled by Ian
I'm dreaming in a lustfull sleep, filled with death. Filled with loved ones dying. I turn around and a tiger pounces on me. I fall to the ground, halfdead, and before I know it, I wake up, with soft morning breeze.
Championship Game, by Torre

It’s noon. My baseball team is in the championship game. It’s top of the ninth inning, the other team’s best hitter is up and our best pitcher is pitching. Our pitcher nails two strikes and three balls. It’s full count. The batter WHACKS the ball in the sky and it whistles in the clouds. It comes speeding down to me in center-field. I gently lift my glove and close my eyes, hoping the ball will just land and stay in my glove. I hear a crash. I open my eyes and look in my glove and see the red and white sphere just sitting in my mitt.

Untitled, by Ana

In the dead of night he falls. Falls to the ground, half dead. Even dreams are impossible. The tears fall to the ground from those who he cared about. Spared his life to save. Oh, how they cried, then as if death itself had pulled the ripcord, he gets up. The ones he cared about gasp and gape. He killed the one who meant to kill him

Daydream of Swimming, by Bailey

It’s so close to August. I feel I’m diving right in that cold pool of water, swimming, swimming as fast as I can to get away from everything and everyone. Free falling through water, hearing nothing, nothing at all, my eyes closing. When they open up again, I am in my bed, sitting there.

Pump Pump Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is the best

Thanksgiving dessert

because if you eat it

right out of the oven

it has the warm and melty taste

and the crunchy crust

 it makes you want to die.

 

If you have the pumpkin pie

with a small side of whipped cream

it’s actually a lot softer.

 

After that rich fluffy aftertaste

kicks in

you can’t put it down.

 

The aroma is just better than heaven

with a small serving

it’s just delightful.  

By Roman, 2009

 

                   By  Isaac  

Chewy,

Cold,

Golden crust.

Sweet

Goes good with

Whipped cream.

Yeah!

If you make me eat an eye,

You’ll wish it was

PUMPKIN PIE!!!!

Rolling Rolls, by Willow
 

Rolling down the road

They’re chewy!

They’re soft!

They’re everything, but gushy

Warm or cold,

They’re really, really gooey

 
Rock'n Rolls
By Jack

 Rolls are a good Thanksgiving treat,

‘Cause they are sweet and fun to eat.

They are hot

With butter on top,

They are a Thanksgiving feast!

 

Cook until they’re golden brown,

Until the timer makes a sound

They are good with jam or honey.

The unfortunate thing,

They cost some money!

 

They rise in the oven,

They taste so good you gotta give ‘em lovin’

They are rolls,

Eat ‘em in bowls,

Just don’t feed ‘em to hungry moles!

ROLLS ROCK!!!!

 

 

STUFFING

 

SQUISHY,

SPICY,

LUMPY,

LOTS OF YUMMY VEGETABLES,

SMELLS WONDERFUL,

NICE AND WARM,

PERFECT ALONE OR WITH GRAVY POURED ON
