Ode to my IPad
By: Omeed Etesham
IPad how wonderfully smart you are.
You have the brain of Einstein.
Oh, IPad, your size is beyond perfect.
With you sense of humor as Siri.
When I charge you, you are ready for a new adventure.
Oh, how you smell like my clean hands.
I adore you because you give me light to the world,
When I use you I feel like nothing can stop us.
Ode to my Eyes
By: Yuki Zheng
Eyes, oh my eyes,
It is so precious,
You help me to do anything I want to do things.
Eyes, oh my eyes,
You give me more knowledge,
It is like a window.
You take me to appreciate different scenery.
You help me see the good and evil,
It is how much I adore you.
Your eyelashes like a small brush,
To draw a variety of interesting paintings.
You are like a camcorder,
Help me keep track of the many memories.
You are so precious to me
You are my star.
Ode to my Mom
By: Ryan Du
Who gave me life? Who raised me?
Who accompany me through difficult?
It's my Mom.
Mom,
Every moment you are by my side,
Whether I am sad, depressed, or hopeless.
As long as you stay with me,
The clouds will always leave,
The sun will always come out.
You just like my god,
Bring me food and hope,
Give me a home and happiness,
For the world, you are my mom.
But for me, you are the world.
10 Little Poetry Lines
By: Manuel Leal
Soccer is like a flight,
The net is my destination.
Once I reach it I hear the crowd roaring.
I feel my teammates giving me high fives,
I taste success,
I see the disappointment of the goalie.
And I smell the fear in the team that I might score another.
The soccer ball feels like a rock when I strike it, it sounds like a cloud,
When it hits the net.
Sergio Augers lights up Etihad Aguero Stadium
With a bicycle kick.
Although the other team sometimes is encouraged harder after I score,
The orange cleat of fire dribbles through the whole defense,
shot from 90 yards out for the game winner.
Even when the clouds are crying,
Even when the ground is bruised, even as I'm flying through the pitch,
I am unstoppable.
Ten Little Lines
By: Jacen Roberson
Her eyes are as pure as the clean cut grass.
They stare at me as I fly away.
I get higher and higher matching the height of a plane.
As I look down she waves like we are two steps away.
So I blink, thinking it was just a clear dream.
Then I open and we're sitting down on a grey fluffy cloud.
We slipped right through the grey cloud like a rain drop falls in her eyes.
Savannah cries as we fall from North Carolina skies.
The clean cut grass I saw in her eyes had just got watered.
The foggy eyes had soon become clear as we lose all worry.
Then she winks and teleports us back to ground.
As our shoes scream with laughter and our socks breathe with ease.
We sit together on the clean cut grass and stare to the sky, while the bright sun hangs and waves goodbye.
Ode to Ketchup
By: Andrew Orozco
Ketchup. The color of bright and beautiful red.
Red as a fire truck on a hot summers day.
You can come in small packages from food places.
Or large jugs from weird places.
You smell like a sweet Italian tomato ready to be picked.
You are liquidly and soft.
Sort of like play- doh, you are for eating and for playing.
You sound like a song, splat- splat- pat!!
Ketchup, you are a pool for my fries to float around in.
You are the sauce that is perfect for all the occasions.
Every food wants to be with you.
Ketchup, you make all foods new once more.
Ketchup, you are sweet sustenance.
You are the love of many people and the enemy to none.
You are the only condiment for me.
You have showed me that in life you need someone or something that makes you better than you already are.
Oh, ketchup, what a gift to the human race!
Ode to my Father
By: Cherry Wang
Father, oh father, I really respect you.
You teach me everything that I want to learn.
Father, oh father, you support my hobby.
When I draw the picture, you give me an idea.
You are kind, your hand is pointing me forward.
How great you are and you are so much more.
I really enjoy when we work together and solve questions.
You are like a tree, rain or shine, always protecting me.
So now you know how much I love you,
For you are my hero, I will respect you forever.
