I am going to share my Run Don't Walk poem:
Run Don’t Walk

A hot day, Sweat trickling down your back, Walking on an island, Close to the ocean, The palm trees brushing against you, Their hard leaves, Scratching your skin, A crab scuttles, Across your path, You start running, The air brushing against your face, Your hair flying behind you, Soon you turn around, Running back, Where you started, You reach the ocean, And stop, Catching your breath, You look out across, The water, The salty smell, Reaches your nose, Calms you, You breathe slowly and steadily, A light breeze flapping your shirt, The sun shining down, As you think, Run Don’t Walk.

Here are 3 of my color poems...
Dandelion

Dandelion dips into her flowers, Showering them with the happiness of her smile, She slips up into the sky, Blends in with the sun, But everyone still sees her, Bright colors rush by her, Happy and laughing, Screaming and shouting, She smiles and leaves, Slides over to an orange tree, Full of oranges, Crying, But at her touch, The oranges giggle again, Hug her, And Dandelion takes off, Racing up to the sky, To her sunset, And everyone laughs and smiles, When they watch her, Dandelion, Paint her smiles in the sky, When the sun is gone, Dandelion slips into a star, And exhausted, She falls asleep.

Indigo

Indigo dips the tips of her fingers, Into the deep ocean, She dives into everyones favorite color, And blows into sweet blueberries, She glides out and into a rainbow, And everyone gazes at Indigos stripe in the sky, She floats away, And into her deep and beautiful, Indigo midnight sky.

Razzmatazz

Razzmatazz dances onto the roses, Blowing into apples, As she dances jazz, She touches the raspberries, Giving them taste, Smiling and giggling, She dives with her friends, Into the sunset, Shining with her brightest, And happiest smile, Making everyone happy and joyful, When they watch her, Razzmatazz, Dance jazz in the sky.

I am going to share my poetry sketch too. The words that are underlined are the poetry sketch words I was supposed to use.
It’s __easy__ to __share__ a poem And __write__ a story It’s easy to hurry __quickly__ Through all your chores and work It’s easy to finish a spelling test With words like go and to It’s easy to get on the bus And go to school and learn It’s easy to come home Do homework, play board games, and relax It’s easy to eat dinner Get ready for bed Then play It’s easy to go to bed Tomorrows another big day!
 * __Easy__**

I also want to share a poem I wrote last year (2006-2007)

 * Love that girl**
 * (Inspired by Mr. Walter Dean Myers)**

Love that girl Like a dog loves to run I said I love that girl Like a dog loves to run Love to call her in the nighttime Love to call her “Pretty girl”

She laughs like her mama And smiles like her papa I said she laughs like her mama And smiles like her papa Laughs when she happy When she sad she laughs again

Her mama like to hold her Like to feed her apple pie I said her mama like to hold her Feed her that apple pie She can keep her now I’ll get her by and by

She got lots of roads to walk down Before her life has ended I said she got lots of roads to walk down Before her life has ended She’ll be a long stride walker And a woman before she done

This is my "Night Falls Like...." poem:

 * //__Rivers__//**


 * Rivers are shaped like snakes,**
 * Ready to bite,**
 * Feeling like a cold drink,**
 * On a hot sizzling day,**
 * An ice-cream sundae for dessert,**
 * Topped with whipped cream,**
 * Cherries and chocolate syrup,**
 * A happy swim through,**
 * Cold water,**
 * As cool as an ice cube,**
 * Melting slowly,**
 * As happy as a chipmunk,**
 * Climbing a tree,**
 * While,**
 * Below the rivers,**
 * Sea creatures roam.**
