  3. Spring

    Spring is here
    and the sun is out
    the birds are chirping
    and the bees are humming
    the sun is high and bright
    as it warms the earth
    with its light
    spring is here

  5. I'm commenting on the first poem, and I think it means that sometimes life can be like a fairytale. By the way I forgot to put this comment with my poem.

    1. [Hate of Highschool]


      Highschool's cool,
      but it can sometimes be Crul.
      Some people start drama,
      most of the time it comes back like karma.
      Now most of you know me,im not like any other girl,
      but alot of people say stuff that puts me in a whirl.
      I may be crazy, but never insane,
      because I do have a brain, and I know what your sayin'.
      And in highschool you go on one "Date"
      After that all you will get is "HATE"!
      Highschool can sometimes be great,
      it doesnt allways have to be about who you hate,
      And who you date.
      Its your Golden years,
      So dont live in fear,
      think Win-Win
      dont ever give in.

  7. "Car Show"
    You see them all over the street.
    The riders will be cleaning their seat.
    You see yourself in the chrome grill.
    All kids can bearly stand still.
    I can the controls on the steering wheel.
    All these cars i would steal.

  8. Wallowing in the warmth of your smile
    And the angels in your laugh
    I feel your carefullness
    And your oh so cute style

    I don’t know why god blessed me
    With such a friend as you
    But it makes my life complete
    And very happy too

    The way you always know me
    And exactly what to do
    When my loneliness gets me down
    You make me happy, not blue(:
    The way you see me
    And look into my eyes
    I don’t have to hide my feelings
    And put on a disguise

    To share your tender heart
    The warmness of your smile
    The courage of your wisdom
    For these I’d walk for miles

    To be thinking of a time
    When you’d no longer be there
    For me to peek upon in felicity
    My feelings with you to share
    Is not acceptable to me
    Because in my life
    Is where I want you to be
    Always and forever.

  9. Sometimes that is how teens feel when their parents do not give them a chance to speak. It also makes us feel like an unnecessary freak if we can not speak or you even let us stand tall. At one point in life you will not have us at all. Someone up above us gave us the all the talking parts, now all everyone else has to do is open up their hearts.

    This poem is by me Samantha H. Turner and it came frome the heart. But here's one that came from a book I found:

    'USE IT OR LOSE IT'
    By: Mike Dooley

    When you think
    a brand new thought,
    something comes alive.
    And when you think
    this brand new thought,
    it will strive
    to find its place
    in time and space,
    to reach the light of day.
    So think your new thought all the time
    to help it find its way!

  11. "The Rose That Grew from Concrete"

    Did youhear about the rose that grw from a crack in the concrete.....
    Proving nature's laws wrong it learned to walk without having feet.....
    Funny it seems but by keeping its dreams it learned to breathe fresh air.....
    Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared!!

  14. "My Mother."
    By: Mishonda Jackson

    She tucks me in at night
    She holds me tight when i'm feeling a fright
    She comforts me when i'm feeling down
    I don't know where I would be without her
    She is the reason why I'm here right now
    I think of all I put her through and think of how she could've said she is through
    I love my mother with all my heart
    She makes me mad
    She makes me sad
    But that's only the times I'm being bad
    My mom is the only one I trust even when we fuss
    I love my mom she's the best

  15. MY Heart Sings...

    In the song of life, all lyrics need a melody.

    You are the lyric and you are the melody.
    You are the lyric of my heart and of my soul.

    The beauty of the rose, speaks a lyric of love.
    Love, speaks a lyric of you.

    The silent lyric of goodness, echoes from within you.
    My heart, speaks the lyric of love...to only you.

    Let the words...the lyric...that bind, pass between us.
    Let the lyric, of you...of me...be as one.

    A million words I can speak of you and the lyrics
    would be the same...I love you now. I always will

  16. Closed Room

    One closed room to sit around and
    think. To think about life, to
    think about the pain.
    The pain that hurts, the pain
    that comes from dealing with him.
    A closed room full of memories.
    Fun memories, bad memories, painful
    memories and memories that want seem
    to fade away.
    A closed room full of a fist load of
    things that I don't regret one bit.
    This room is my heart. A heart
    full of things I wouldn't change.

  17. ^~~~~~^ winter ~^^^^^~

    A flake of snow in flurry thro’ the air
    Had landed as a kiss upon my cheek:
    A secret message, just for me to share;
    To take to heart but never dare to speak
    About other eyes
    Your open feelings – distant though they are.
    And so, upon your lips, my own surprise
    A flake of snow returned from me afar

  18. I Was Meant for YouThe sun, it did shine
    the day you came into my life
    and everything that was wrong
    became all right
    everything that was upside down
    turned around

    And I smiled because finally
    my heart had found its home
    and I didn’t need anyone to tell me
    that you are where I belong
    I knew, I just knew
    that it was you

    And the morning sun it would rise
    and dance through the happiness
    that shone in my eyes
    And all my dreams they did come true
    every second that was spent with you
    And every wish I had ever made
    came to life that one fateful day

    And I smiled because finally
    my life and everything made perfect sense
    and I didn’t need someone to tell me
    that this was love or what it meant
    I knew, I just knew
    I was meant for you

  19. People say I'm shady
    So I try to speak My mind
    I turn out to be stuck up
    I Try to express My thoughts
    I turn out to be deep
    What to do Without being Judged
    So I close the doors to My thoughts
    And stay Shut....

  20. Though Im Missing you (:

    Who would've known, that you had to go
    But so suddenly, so fast
    How could it be, that a sweet memory worthy would
    Be all that we've have plan
    Now that you're gone, every day I go on
    But life's just not the same
    I'm so empty inside, and my tears I can't hide
    But I'll try, I'll try to face the pain

  21. Only You

    Every time you look at me
    chills go down my spine
    you send butterflies
    through my stomach
    you put love in my heart

    You say sorry but hurt me
    again I can't take that pain
    it's best you go you make
    me rather be alone

  24. Missing someone isn't about how long it's been since you seen them or the amount of time since you last talk. It's about that very moment when you're doing something and you wish that they were right here with you. I LOVE you and MISS you !

  25. My Bestfriend
    You're stupid. You fail. You're wierd.
    You're not perfect.BUT. That's okay.I'm like that,too. We laugh at the randomest things. You know my ugliest side. Even though we disagree sometimes, we never fight. When I'm sad, you were always there to make sure I'm okay. Thanks for being there for me. I LOVE YOU !

  26. No matter what happens,
    No matter what comes out of your mouth;
    it can be good,
    or it can be bad.
    It can be a lie,
    or it can be the truth.
    It can be a secret,
    or it can be your fears.
    It can be love,
    or it can be heart break.
    We should not fear,
    of our worlds,
    for they are not to blame.
    It's the thought of what,
    might be said or done,
    that's the one to blame.

  28. " I wish.. "

    I was only two when you came along,
    I don't remember nothing at all,
    If you were here we tell each other everything,
    I want to hear you say " your my role model, "
    We will have matching outfits,
    Giggle and tell each other stories,
    Play hide and seek together,
    Help each other out on everything,
    Watch something together everyday,
    Tell you " I hate you , but I love you so much ,"
    Tell you " Your my best friend,"
    Get matching necklaces,
    Go places together,
    Push each other around,
    Tell on each other,
    Draw on each other,
    Sleep together,
    Make each other feel better when one of us is down,
    Tell each other who were crushing on,
    Play soccer together,
    Cook together,
    Make our room look crazy,
    Go to parties together,
    Tell each other how we look,
    Run together,
    I wish you didn't have to go,
    But God thought it was best for me and you,
    One day will reunite,
    Tell each other how we been in years,
    I visit you on your birthday,
    bring you flowers and bear,
    Saying " Baby sis your in a better place and I miss you dearly, "
    You'll be 12 next month,
    Mother misses you dearly and I do too.<3
    Even if your not here your my number one best friend Ruth..

  32. DON'T JUDGE

    The girl we all make fun of and laugh at goes home and gets abused but who knew, she has no friends and doesn't talk to anyone here.
    The smart boy that everyone calls a nerd and throws stuff at, he has no home he stays in a shelter crying him self to sleep.
    So why judge you don't have a clue what they are going through.

  33. Love...?

    walking tall, head high, is this me?
    no smell of fear or even misery
    that's me on the outside the one you see every day
    but the one on the inside is the one you don't see
    on the inside I cry from time to time
    to be without you seems like a crime
    the laughs we had, the tears we shared
    the love we showed, the passion we cared
    and our love was as delicate as wine
    even though you slowly drifted away
    in my heart you filled space
    joy, happiness, peace, shine
    those where the four signs
    that true love will always be fine<3

  35. Twin Love


    In a world where they make ipods and canoes, Somehow I managed to meet the people who made
    both of you.
    You were my best friends and I always confused your faces, until one of you got buzzed by
    one of Angie's tazers.
    You slipped and fell and of course hit your face and that day was a bad day because someone
    was already spraying you with mace.
    I always thought that the ugliest one of you were cute, Until you put your voice on mute.
    You did not talk to me for days and days, until your brother said you where moving away.
    You were my favorite twin; we dated for two months and half an hour since then. And I
    thought it was a win.
    But you moved and packed everything away.
    You know what sucks? you did not say good bye and you're moving back today!
    I can't wait to see your face when you see me,
    Holding your best friend's hand as a background on my pc.

    -Samantha
    Turner
