Curiosity Saves the Cat

I have always been told that “curiosity kills the cat”

But I can only find ways that curiosity can help him.

It may be so that he can get some dinner

Where he finds new places to catch his own rat.

 

Even with the whole world out there,

This saying is suppressing the poor cat

And preventing him from

discovering

inventing

and doing new things.

 

This cat turns defiant

And won’t stay silent

Because he doesn’t have to believe

That “curiosity kills the cat”

Because he knows that it doesn’t.

Falling Leaves

It has been a long time since I wrote my last poem. But fall time is here, and a small poem wouldn’t hurt!

Red, orange, and brown
Falling gently to the ground
The trees are shedding
Creating a bedding
Over the slowly browning grass.

The breezes are beginning
And the days are shortening
As the children’s squeal
Slowly disappears
Into the warmth of their homes.

Now it is time to prepare
For the winter ahead.
For the snow, the cold,
And the hot chocolate days.

A Shadow

As I walk to my bus

I spot my shadow

Following me

Where ever I go.
 
 
I have decided to get a pet puppy

When I enter the door to the pet store

The shadow slips in unseen

I wonder how it never bores.
 
 
I feel funny

To have a follower

Growing when I grow

Crying when I cry

Laughing when I laugh.

Changing when I change.
 
 
I have gone to my soccer game

Playing my position

When suddenly,

I spot my shadow

Taking the same steps

Kicking the same kick.
 
 
I have visited a new store

Knowing me, that does not occur often

I have picked out a new shirt to wear

For I have grown out of my others

And I realize that my shadow is there

Choosing the same shirt.
 
 
Why can’t this shadow

Ever retire

And stop following me

And let me be different

And let me be myself?

I wonder…
 
 
 
–Dedicated to my friend S

Cherry Blossoms

Big and blooming

Pink and white

Never glooming

Always bright

 

Look into the trees

Of soft petals crowding

They start out as small as peas

Looking down and bowing

 

Cherry blossoms in the spring

Looking into the world

Then falling into a wing

As if they have been hurled

 

Big and blooming

Pink and white

Never glooming

Always bright

 

They are cherry blossoms!!

Cheesetopia!

My friends and I had to make a planet for science and I was the scientist to name the planet and I named it Cheesetopia. This poem is about Cheesetopia.

On  the planet Cheestopia, everything is made of cheese. Hot! Hot! Hot! The season of hot! Will always be Fondue! Oh no! The planet has turned orange! When the planet reaches Nacho Season, the planet turns a sunny color. A snowy color in the freezing season which is Bleu Season. String season is next. Everything is sparkly clean during String Season. Cheesetopia has 100 days in each season! 400 days in all. One day is 30 Earth hours. The sky is crying drops of apple juice. And is throwing snow flakes down for the Cheestopia inhabitants to flick with their tongues. The oh so plain traditional home protects Bleumans with a hay cover and strong cheese walls. Rich! Rich! Rich! The people who are rich get to have a three level home that looks like a dome with bites taken out of it. A block of cheese is what Cheesetopia is shaped like! Yum!!!!!!

New Years 2009

On New Year’s Day

Everyone gathers

Til’ they wither

To stay up

Until midnight.

To watch what

is happening in Times Square

Or even stand in Times Square

Or somewhere else.

Others snore

Zzzzzzzzzzz’s

(It is kind of late for this poem)

The Tea-Filled Cuppies

The tea-filled cuppies are a very unusual sort,

Whose tea never ever runs short.

They drink tea for a living,

And they are always swimming.

The tea-filled cuppies

Have heads and tails like guppies

And bodies like a teacup

And they never give up

To give themselves a cup

Of tea.

The tea-filled cuppies might

Drink by the light

Of the moon.

Under the ocean,

That is.

Who Will Win?

In the ’08 election

You will come to see

Obama and McCain

Trying to win

The electoral votes and popular votes

Will decide our president!

One from Illinois

And the other from Arizona

It’s up to YOU!

Who do you think will win?

The Olympics

Countries get very tense when it comes to Olympics
Swimming, diving, and water polo
Players come out soaking wet
Long jump, gymnastics, track and feild
Stretch your muscles
Put them to the test
Archery and shooting
Accuracy is the key
Judo and wrestling
Better come well prepared!!
Because it is now time for the Beijing Olynmpics!
Let the games begin!
                                                        

 

                                                  

Did you watch the 400 meter relay? It was amazing!!!!!!
