I AM POEM I am creative and smart I wonder about the beach I hear a distant train I see colorful shapes when I close my eyes I want a laptop of my own I pretend to be a fashion designer I feel wind I touch spikes I worry about the P.S.S.A I cry when I watch African cats I understand my cat will die I say that I want to make Barbies at Mattel I dream a lot of weird things I try to run faster I hope that someday I’ll work at Mattel

Monster Poem There’s a monster in my car, I saw his orange furry face, It glows near and far, The monster in my garage He is knocking down the tools He has such an attitude That messy monster in my garage There’s a monster under my bike He has been chewing the pedals It does not make sense I need to know why they are doing this to me BY: Fiona Loudon
