8G Poems

Cherish,

Unique, strong, open minded, bold,

Sibling of Lakeisha

Lover of sports, writing and art,

Who feels happy, confident and confused,

Not confused like something you can’t comprehend,

Not confused like there’s a math equation you can’t figure out,

And not confused about how a machine works.

But confused about the world itself,

I’m confused about how other people think,

And I’m confused about why people take paths which were taken before them.

Who needs time, shelter, and food,

Who gives care, honesty and my own opinions,

Who fears sharp cliffs, endless depths of waters, and murderous people,

Who would like to see a cure to every illness,

An answer to how the world started,

And who would like to see everyone accepting others for who they are.

Resident of Shoal Harbor, Newfoundland,

 


 

 

Dustin

Funny, calm, and clever,

Sibling of Danielle,

Lover of girls, animals, and Canada,

Who feels eager, joyful, and happy,

Not happy like school is cancelled,

Not happy like I just won a million dollars,

Not happy like pizza is on the menu today,

But happy that I think I did well on this poem.

Who needs food, chocolate milk, and a new PS2.

Who gives money to homeless, donates to Haiti, and my time to friends.

who fears dark places, swimming with fish, and school.

Who would like to see a cure for cancer, 100% on a test, and the colts to win the super bowl.

Resident of Shoal Harbour.

Joshua,

Awesome, cool, funny, and sporty,

Friend of Brandon, Chris, and my pet leprechaun,

Lover of food, video games, and volleyball,

Who feels happy, energetic, and calm,

Not calm like the ocean at night,

Or like a glass window,

Or even like the paper in school that we write on,

But just a little calmer,

Like a stainless steel pan in the oven,

Or like name that sounds nice to the ears,

Or even like the top of a square box,

Who needs food, shelter, and clothing,

Who gives money to Haiti, Alvation Army, and Africa,

Who fears Mr. Fitz on Mondays, homework, and scary people like Cherish,

Who would like to meet Metallica, Hedley, and the cast of Stunbum,

Resident of Clarenville, Milton, NL

Lonely like a one man army

Lonely like deaf man at a rock concert

Who fears Barney, Teletubbies , and the wiggles

Who would like to see a chocolate fountain, Metalica Live, and a cure for cancer

But shocked because Laura loves glue,

Shocked because glue is a weird thing to love,

Shocked because Laura got her glue confiscated!

Who needs food, water, and sports,

Who fears spiders, Laura with glue, and dinosaurs,

Who would like to see The Harry Potter Amusement Park, Italy and the Olympics live!
