2013 Youth Poetry Contest Friends
You make laugh and smile I hope we stay friends for a while Friends are the best part in life They give you someone to talk with at night I know sometimes we fight but Later on we will be alright
I trust you and you Trust me we fit together like a puzzle piece
I tell you my most treasured secrets And I know that you’ll always keep it
In the end when we grow up we’ll stay Friends forever! Tomorrow is a new day! It’s time to endeavor these Friends will be friends they stick to each other until the very end Kennedy Williams Grade 6, Worley Elementary School
Chaim swinik I am clueless and brave I wonder why this is happening I hear train whistles and screams I see people being abused I want to live through this horrible thing/time I am clueless and brave I pretend that I am dreaming I feel my mother beside me I touch the walls of my house imagining I was there I worry that I will not make it out of here alive I cry because of the torture I go through I am clueless and brave I understand that this is really happening I say the Nazis are just bringing us here for a little while I dream I will be free some day I try to accomplish everything that I need to do in order to stay alive I hope my mom is still alive I am clueless and brave Rest In Peace Chaim Swinik Haley Howard Grade 6, Worley Elementary School
I Am Ivory Nobody uses it Like mayonnaise It’s awesome Like bunnies It keeps coming back Like lice There’s no point Like white‐out Everybody hates it Like snow Nobody loves it Like Blake I love it Like dolphins They should get credit Like spiders I am ivory Blake Browning Grade 7, Edison Middle School
