THE PHONE CONSCIENCE
the phone
sometimes
it makes you
moan
-
sometimes
it tells you
ridiculous things
-
this morning
it told me
to try
growing wings!
-
or to
rake
with a
wooden
stake
-
but since I already have wings
I think i’ll try old fashioned things

THE MERMAID
-
Water flowed deep within her veins.
She was beautiful for someone who
had experienced something so tragic.
-
Her tail quivered and
swished with the waves
of memories that haunted
-
her. The whales
took her inside and
gave her dinner.

MONSTERBAT
Alas, in our darkest hour
a glorious creature came.
Monsterbat,
no man nor rat
doth not know his name.
*
Monsterbat, with him around,
no bad thing came real near.
Monsterbat, if they did you’d
slowly kick their rear.
*
Monsterbat, slowly thought,
as he battled ring after ring,
that in this town, he would be
only but a thing.

WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION
I had loads of fun on my summer vacation to Dayton. We went to a mini-golf arcade place and shot some holes while Mom went to Writers’ Workshop. Dad and I also mined for gems at the Indian cavern. What a fun time I had!
Our family ate exotic vegan foods there! We went to Pattycake Bakery and got some vegan deserts. Mom, Dad, and I went to Mijiers and got vegan salt and vinegar potato chips. As it went down my throat it gave me a most pleasurable time.
We had fun, but then we had to go home. On the way home I played with the magnificent toys that my wonderful mother and my most precious father gave me. Then we went to the Indian cavern again and mined once more. Then we went home, and new adventures began with more fun then ever!

Shining silver,
glistening gold.
That was all
in the mines of old,
and for all of you
the story’s ’bout to be
told.
Millions of millions of
years ago,
when the earth was
covered in snow,
a million people took a pole
“Lets block the roads
where the wizards come.
All in favor
drink a bottle of rum.”
and everyone was drunk that night.
And that was the end
of a civilization.
Drinking and driving
for a new sensation.
The whole world
drank from a
bottle of ale.
We’ve reached the end
of our tale.

Blue grass sparkles.
Red glass glows.
White crystal gleams.
Black clouds snow.
No good comes from rage.
No rage comes from good.
No one really acts
the way they really should
How can anyone write
what they’re looking for?
No one can really write
if their hands are really sore.
How can anyone write
if someone is always saying “get them!”
A oh! Oh no!
we’ve reached the end of this poem.
I had fun at the writing club. I got a glowy bracelet. I made the poem shown above. I also got to meet other kids. I had a good time.
