FOOTBALL GAME
Football game, like louder
than a baby first born in
your ear, like hearing a helmet to head
and hearing click clacking
like pick six and football players
screaming like a bat arguing
with referees.

Gray dog eye
I am as old as
the world. I feel like
a crumpled up piece
of paper. I don’t
have taste because
my tongue is breaking
apart like an old
house.

My leg is a horse.

the opposite way that
I am going.
Gabrielle Harrell
Circle Madness
My Spine is a
bear with very little
hair covered in twine
but beware if he
smells, hears, sees, or
touches you you will
turn into a basketball
with very little
grip and will be
bounced on rocks
every day by little
children.

Bandage rain
The bandage was a girl
scout and was selling cookies.
He came upon the Brain,
door on a rainy day to
sell cookies. He was
getting sick so the
brain let him in his
house. They “stuck”
together forever
like paper and
glue. Friends.

The Stapler
Black and silver it smells like
a car, it feels smooth too.
Helpful to people but not to me.

Face Poem
Your eyes are like the sun setting on the
prairie. Your cheeks, rosy as a red billboard.
your hair as curly as pasta noodles. Your hair as
dark as twilight when it strikes in winter.
your freckles as brown as my dog. Your lips as
pink as an apple blossom.
Addie Mayfield
The book and the eye ball
The book and the eyeball met
at the Basketball game. the book
and the eyeball went to the eyeball’s
house. He likes it cold in his house,
and the book doesn’t mind. He likes
it cold too. But when they told each other’s
secrets, the eyeball disappeared.
Alexandria Fish
The face
your Dead Cold eyes
remind me of a vampire
your mole that looks like a
jungle your lips are black
as space your nails yellow
as a duck your hair dry
as a towel your nose
looks like a cow. Your
hair looks like barb wire
your lips are brown as
a door that slammed. You
ears are as green as
grass.
Gracie Amroz
Piano Player
I’m a great
piano player
I’m so good
at playing pianos
people get up
and start
dancing I’m as
good as Albert
Einstein doing
science.
Alex Owen
Face Poem
your mouth is like
a one dollar bill your
face is like a goat
trying to sing your nose
looks like a baboon’s behind
your shoes look like a
rusted tractor
