WEIRD POEM
The plane in the sky snored so loud that ants could hear it.
A spider climbed on my mother’s head when she was sleeping.
Have you ever been to England?
My dad died on September 10, 2010.
My car was broken into pieces.
Planes are really in the sky.
No, I’ve never been to England.
No one in my family, except me and my cousin likes spiders.

So much depends
So much depends
Upon
A teal grass
Tiger
Drenched in holy
water
By the grey
cloud!

Dream
In my dream I am a large
bee flying and pouncing on the moon.
I am a swimming squirrel in jail.
I am a colossal German shepherd shining and
glowing at the park.
I am fancy like a beetle, jumping and tumbling
on a school.
I am mini like a glass on someone’s arm.
I am a bone that is active at a city.

The Forest
The moonlight is dim,
a fox is waking a den.
I laugh as I play.

My Chicken Egg
My chicken egg
has been dropped
down the toilet
in a pan and
it doesn’t seem
to crack. It went
to China on a
fairy boat. A shark
bit it and broke
it’s tooth. It seems
to be tougher than
a redneck eating
the hottest pepper
in the world.
It came to me
and I threw
it on a pillow
and it cracked
like a water drop landing
on concrete.

My Cave
My cave keeps to himself
His eyes a dark, hollow black
He reaches for nobody to help him
His life is a land of sorrow
My cave feels like a no-one
My cave has no friends
He chooses his life
One day I came along
His life has changed
He has a friend
He helps me chase the sun
We tuck the stars into bed
His life is now a rollercoaster
Screaming with joy
My cave is now a part of me!

So much depends
So much depends
upon
a black innocent
cow
glazed in thick
snow
by the orange
flower pot.

Riddle
This fruit looks like a yellow smile or a monster claw. It could even be a yellow horn on a unicorn. What is this fruit?
Breyden Trace McCain
Monster
My monster looks like a fluffy marshamallow
He looks like little kids chew him to the bone.
He smells like gas at a gas station. I hear him
tweet like a tweety bird. He is so tiny
that you can put him in your pocket.
When you touch him he grows tiny leaves on
his body. Every morning when he wakes up
he yawns so loud that people in China hear
him for such a tiny monster.

In the Forest
In the moonlit forest
a snow owl cries
to another owl.

I Remember
I remember the 3rd of June the
gray mountain rushing water from
the top to bottom, moving like bright
red blood rushing through a body.
The sand as soft as grass.
I remember seeing you in that b
bright shirt by the water
watching the dolphins jump in
the water and back out.
Colton Cleaves
So much depends
So much depends
upon
a gray wolf leaping
the fence in the dark
by the
old house.
