I actually wrote this for a daycare a few years back... wrote it thinking about my childhood...

-unnamed-

Little boy sitting at a blue plastic table.
He looks at what's laid out in front of him.
Grabs a sheet of black cardboard paper.

The little boy with wild brown hair smiles.

He grabs from his mind the glitter shaker.
Sprinkles on the distant gold stars of a night sky.

His brown eyes open wide.

They catch the big yellow and green box.
Opens the fresh smell of Crayola.

He continues to dream...

His chubby little finger picks the yellow.
Concetrates deeply, and slowly draws a circle.
Squiggles in the moon glowing.

Under his blanket he sleeps and dreams with his teddy.

Sketches a stick figure boy fishing from the moon with
blue.
Fishing in his mind he opens the glue.

Flashes of his childhood- a trusty toy, his collage of
art.

Few drops of glue and he places the deep blue sea.
Tiny squares of brown felt he lets swim.

Pictures his family, his friends, everyone around him.

Brings them to life to the left of his sea.
By the touch of his peach crayon.

As he sleeps he doesn't realize his dreams and future.

Outside the window reminds him of the trees.
Brown and green paint drips to his view of the earth.

The little boy has shown his life
Awakens from his nap

Flash is the Future

7th Grade poem that was decent enough to get published in a book (mandatory English class entrance into a contest).

My Hair is Falling Out

My hair is falling out.
I’m only five,
but my hair is falling out.
Pardon me if I shout,
my hair is falling out!!!

It’s on the floor, it’s on the bed,
it just keeps falling off my head.
Pardon me if I shout,
my hair is falling out!!!

If I keep shedding anymore,
it will most likely block the door.
Pardon me if I shout,
my hair is falling out!!!

It’s over here, it’s over there,
my gosh, my hair, it’s everywhere.
Pardon me if I shout,
my hair is falling out!!!

It’s in a pile, it’s in a heap,
every lock just makes me weep.
Pardon me if I shout,
my hair is falling out!!!

You say it’s normal?
Imagine that!
The hair always falls off a cat.
Well, pardon me if I shout,
I’m a cat, I’m a cat!
Quick, let me out!!!
