My words my words
Coming out of the blizzard
Of snow of the
Grass and people
My words telling my brother
what to do
my words are my words
my words are cool
they come out of me
they never say anything wrong
my words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sister who like to dance
and ask who will dance with
her
Whose hair is so soft
Who always looks out for
people
Who keeps me safe
Who takes off like a plane
Who is fast like a car
Is like a pug running free
Is like a pit-bull fighting
with other dogs
Who dances on a dance
floor asking who will
dance with her?
This poem was inspired after reading “Abuelito Who” by Sandra Cisneros.

I am a boy who is very honest
I don’t say any lies or do bad stuff
I love my family and friends
I wouldn’t want anything to happen to them
If something happened to them I would be sad
I wish something hadn’t happened to my cousin
He almost died because a car hit him
We went to his house he was ok we took him a stuffed animal. He was so happy he could barely move we had a great time. We actually had a good time together. My friend also got hurt. She broke her hand when she was playing soccer with her little brother. My cousin broke his hand with his bicycle he fell with the bicycle on top of him
Showed me the broken hand the next day I went to see him. I said, what happened to you? I wish this never happened.
