2013 Youth Poetry Contest I Am Poem I am brave and smart. I wonder if a clown can juggle a chainsaw. I hear Mason every day. I see black ghosts every day. I want a million dollars for the poor people. I am brave and smart. I pretend to be an army man. I feel a soft pillow under my head. I touch my fuzzy hair. I worry about not passing the OAA. I cry when I get in trouble. I am brave and smart. I understand people get upset. I say that God loves people. I dream that ‘m a ninja. I try to help people. I hope that I get bigger. I am brave and smart. Caleb Hinzman Grade 3, McGregor Elementary I AM POEM I am talkative and ornery. I wonder how the world was started. I hear screaming and yelling. I see Mike Mzowzki: he’s looking at me. I want a car. I am talkative and ornery. I pretend I’m a robot. I feel sad my grandma gone. I touch my controller all day. I worry about my game. I cry my grandma no there. I am talkative and ornery. I understand how my dad is feeling. I say I believe in myself. I dream of being in the NFL. I try to be in the NFL by practicing every day. I hope to be in the NFL when I grow up. I am talkative and ornery. Jaydin Norris Grade 3, McGregor Elementary
I Am Poem I am funny and loud. I wonder who made the four wheeler. I hear children playing. I see a dog running. I want an Xbox 360. I am funny and loud. I pretend to destroy zombies. I feel pain right now. I touch my dog’s head. I worry about my games. I cry when I head sad music. I am funny and loud. I understand video game graphics. I say hi to people. I dream about Taylor. I try to play Halo. I hope I win on a game. I am funny and loud. Nicholas Hixson Grade 3, McGregor Elementary I Am Poem I am funny and helpful. I wonder I hear penguins. I see red rose growing in the garden. I want a red and white Mustang. I am funny and helpful. I pretend I am a monster. I feel the hot sun. I touch money. I worry about my snake. I cry when my dog died. I am funny and helpful. I understand how to multiply. I say I love my dog. I dream about my dog, Ares. I try my best at art. I hope for an Xbox 360. I am funny and helpful.
