Lots
I have lots
Lots of toys
Lots of clothes
Lots of shoes
But mostly
Love

Team Sucia Island's Poetry
Tuesdays
Time for piano
Fingers slipping
Up and down
The keys
Making echoing
Sounds rush
Through the room
Spoons on the
Paper showing
The exact
Key.
-Kelsea
Iraq
I slide down the dark slide
Rusty like a rusty
Chain
The head of a slide’s tooth
Sharp as spikes
I slide down the rusty slide
Rusty like a
Chain
I hit my foot on the toes
Of the slide
Now I see
My skin is gone
I put a cloth
To block it with
A towel
I am happy now

Why does
This sword
Have two sides?
One is so shiny
One looks like
It was made in
The underworld
-Lucas
Rushing
Rushing a river of clear water
Not stopping
on down a curb
Falling everywhere like a waterfall
Then the river turns into a
Tornado of water
At the sewer
And then swirls down!
-Rueben
Untitled
The rainclouds follow us
Wherever we go
They’re stealth bombers
They shoot us with their squirt guns
And we never know
When they may
Be planning
A water attack.
-Chase
Dreams
Dreams go floating in
And out
Out and in
Good Bad
Bad Good
Hello Good
Goodbye Bad
Hello Bad
Goodbye Good
You’ll never understand dreams

Yesterday we played on the
Seesaw
I was high in the sky
So fun and so SCARY
Ooohh!
Then we pulled the grass
We piled the grass
I gave the grass
To my cousin
We pretended the grass
Was money

Montana
Montana
The very tight
Open
Space
And out
doors

Poem for Two Voices
We fly in the nightwe fly in the night
We light up
Yes we do
Some things try
Well not all
To eat us
Sometimes
Our light can
Go out
How are we going
To see
Our eyesOur eyes
We fly in the nightwe fly in the night

Blue is the
Soul warming color
The envy of all colors
Blue seas
Blue flowers
Blue shirts, pants and socks.

What if the world
Blew up? What if
The whales died? What
If the world was actually
A huge pizza?
Well if
All that happened the world
Would be different

An oil can
Is like
A water can
Of pollution
It just sits there
Waiting to get dumped
Into a car’s engine and make
Pollution
It grins its oily teeth and
Laughs ha, ha, ha

Pencil Tray
The pencil tray
Turns into
A little
Sailboat
For little
Imaginary people
To sail upon
The little feet
Turn into tiny, tiny
Motors
And the little slots
Turn into
Tiny windows
A broken piece
Is the little door

Windshield
Windshield wipers do
Not look like plain ol’
Windshield wipers to me
They are two people
Going back and forth
Fighting.
-Caroline
Sharks
Sharks sharks
I like sharks
Sharks sharks
They are sometimes
Mean
I am sometimes mean also
Sharks sharks
I love sharks.

Mayra
Before Mayra left
she gave me a necklace
When I look at the necklace
It takes me
To the past
I still remember when she
Left the house
But she will always
Be my sister
I have a
Necklace full of
Memories
And a story I will never forget.
-Debby
Untitled
I look around
I see
A poem in a pencil
A poem in a plant
A poem in the weather
A poem in everything
-Jackson
The Beach
The beach is a place that
Everybody is having fun
The water is splashing
The waters make the
Beach beautiful. Everybody
Is being with their friends and families
They are people making sand castles
And people swimming.

Yes yes yes
