Writings

The Boy

I ride my bike, I think it’s swell. School ends, when I hear the bell.. I like my teacher, when she doesn’t yell. I ride home quickly, I’m hungry in my belly. Mom greets me at the door, with a peanut butter and jelly....

Big squishy jellybean

Let’s start this off the way it’s meant to be,

I’ve been alive for a long time it seems,

I wasn’t born yesterday I mean I’m already turning two times three,

Life is really cool it’s kinda like a great big colorful jellybean,

Like a big squishy thingy and sometimes you see dots in the sky my mom called stars,

They are pretty and I’d like to touch them but I think they may be like really far,

I can ...

The Ghost

**_A ghost is catching in the Limbo forevermore


A ghost is catching, oh so fast,

It runs and jumps, it doesn’t last!

It hides behind the big, tall door,

And stays in Limbo evermore.


I try to tag it, touch its hand,

But whoosh! It slips just like the sand.

It laughs so soft, it sings so low,

I chase and chase, but where’d it go?


The moon is watching, big and round,

The stars are giggling with no...

What Rhymes with Butt

What rhymes with butt.

My dog is a mutt.

We don’t have a cat

Can you imagine that?


My mom says I’m crude,

My dad says I’m rude

I just want to be

An ordinary dude.


I’m ten years old

My sis has a cold

Don’t eat the cheese

‘Cause it’s just old mold


We play cops and robbers

It’s totally fun.

Running around

With our toy guns.


I like Dr. Seuss

Someone ate a moose.

I like trains

Especially the caboos...

I Wish I Were Older

I feel like a little kid

Writing topics too grown

I can’t wait to learn to drive

I miss you when I’m home

My soul feels aged

Why can’t I be older

I want to walk down the aisle

And cry on your shoulder

Someone to call me mine

That would be nice.

Lord why am I like this

I’m certain what I want

But not in this moment.

Little me thought I could plan it all out.

Turns out I can, but it won’t truly wor...

Save Me, I’m Happy-(seen thru 6 year old eyes)

I love to color

I love animols

It has to be pur-fect

In the lines everytime

Or I have to try

Try again

My Mommy

In the lines

I feel sad I can’t

But I Put on my smile

Color and smile

so mamma

Will love me

Every day

And I will be a

Good girl

Gonna go colors now...

Through The Eyes Of A 5 Year Old.

Roses are red, violets are blue, the honey is sweet but so are you.

Ring a ring a Rosie, a pocket full of daisies.

A tissue a tissue we all fall down.

The cows are in the meadow eating buttercups, a tissue a tissue we all stand up.


Hey diddle diddle, the cat played the fiddle and the cow jumped over the moon.

The little boy laughed to have such fun and the dish ran away with the spoon.


Twi...

My Garden

When I go outside, the first thing I see

Is my trampoline right behind the old tree

I climb the tree often, it makes me feel tall

Never too high, I'm afraid I might fall


Sometimes in the summer I'll play hide and seek

And meet all my friends at the end of the creek

I know all the spots, so I always win

Until it gets dark and my mom says “come in”...

Chicken Nuggies

Nuggets

Under my tongue

Grandma won't see

Glumps of meat

Each day she feeds

Treacherous amounts

Still she checks I eat every ounce...

Nighttime

Mommy says

go to bed

But there are so many thoughts

in my head


Daddy says

start counting sheep

But I wanted to say back to him

stop talking *bleep!*


Oh wait, brother says I can’t say that word

And like a bird

He’s gonna fly to mother

And tell her I wrote it


Oops....
