Cleaning My Room

The reason that I’m mad today is cause my mom won’t let me play until my room is neat and clean. That’s why I think my mom is mean. And so I’m standing by my bed; my piles of junk fill me with dread. What to do with all this stuff makes my decisions reallyContinue reading “Cleaning My Room”

Next Christmas

We’re taking down our Christmas tree cause holidays are done. Tomorrow is a school day which means I won’t have fun. I won’t be watching Christmas shows. I won’t be sleeping late. I won’t be eating candy canes. My days won’t feel that great. I hope the time won’t be too long. I hope theContinue reading “Next Christmas”

New Year’s Resolutions

My New Year’s Resolutions, are right here on this list, and judging by the number, there’s nothing that I’ve missed. I’ve said I’ll walk the dog each day and pick up all his poo.

My Sandwich

I made myself a sandwich and cause I thought I could make the best one ever with all things that taste good. I put those things on white bread because I love each one — mustard, pickles, relish, and honey, just for fun. I loaded on some slices of good old cheddar cheese and ranContinue reading “My Sandwich”

“The Magic Running Shoes” My mom bought me new runners, and they’re the brightest blue. I also think they’re magic — there’s nothing they can’t do! I’ve noticed that they make me run faster through my days, and when I’m playing baseball, I make the greatest plays. It really is exciting to have these runningContinue reading “Other Things 24 – Poemlet 18”

The Christmas Pig

A mean old woman bought a pig cause pork she liked to eat. She planned to fatten up the hog and named the poor pig “Pete”. Now Pete was not a stupid beast — he knew what she had planned, and starring on a menu was just more than he could stand! Pete’s pen wasContinue reading “The Christmas Pig”

Waiting for Santa

For Santa Claus I’m waiting here crouched down behind this chair, cause never having met him is just more than I can bear. I have so many questions ‘bout Rudolph and the team; if I don’t get some answers soon, I know that I will scream. I want to know how reindeer fly! I wantContinue reading “Waiting for Santa”

Other Things 23 – Poemlet 17

“Short and Tall” My brother, Steve, has gotten tall, as tall as our own dad. He likes to call me “Shorty” because it makes me mad. He rests his elbow on my head until I scream out “Steven!” But I know soon there’ll come a day when I will sure get even. You see, IContinue reading “Other Things 23 – Poemlet 17”

The Christmas Concert

The Christmas concert sure was fun though Miss Blake’s still upset. Because so many things went wrong, she’s not recovered yet. The truth is Clarence is a pain so got what he deserved, and since that evening, Clarence has been thoroughly unnerved. Clarence Henry was the star of Miss Blake’s Christmas play. She said hisContinue reading “The Christmas Concert”

Sisterhood

My sister’s home from college and that sure makes me smile, because I know her secret — I’ve known it for a while. I told her that I’d seen it, her little tattooed rose, but both my folks know nothing. It’s underneath her clothes. My sister now plays Barbies with me, from three to four,Continue reading “Sisterhood”
