The Flower Sparrow
This morning I woke up and swallowed a sparrow
this sparrow was as small as a cricket and only
could peep like a chick when I yawned again the sparrow
flew out in a hurry peeping and flying as fast as a
cheetah it disappeared in the dark sunlight. It tasted
like dirt and air, it felt like leaves moving around
and the smell was like a flower.

John and the whimpering banana
John stared at the banana like a hawk stares at
a mouse. The banana whimpered because it knew it
were to be devoured as a shark devoured a tuna fish.
The banana was yellow as a sunflower.
John started to unpeel the banana, as it unpeels the
peels look like a blooming flower. The banana started
to look as bare as a naked mole rat.
John finished the banana as fast as a snap.
The relationship was over just
like a divorce separates a couple.

They were like…
They were like two peas in a pod. They
would be like two bees buzzing about
each other. They would fight like lions.
But when they were happy they
were like a honey badger and a
honeyguide. And they were inseparable like
two brothers. They were like
two books that never closed.

Sparrows are food
This morning I woke and swallowed a sparrow.
Sparrows are delicious, they taste like chicken.
Chicks can lay eggs. Eggs are good for
breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal
of the day. A meal is a group of food.
Food gives you energy. Energy gives you
power. Power helps you keep moving. Moving
gets you hungry. When you’re hungry, you eat
a snack. Snacks are like chips, cookies,
fruit, ice cream, crackers, and candy.

The maggots
I remember maggots.
I picked up a bag of potatoes
the bottom broke. Out came
hundreds of maggots and
a few potatoes. What I mean
is throw out smelly potatoes.

A Life as a Shoe
A life as a shoe is horrible I get
smushed all day, all those stinky feet
and I don’t even want to talk about
all the stuff I step on. My fave
part of the days is at night but when they
kick me off now that is not a delight.

A day in the life of homework
Homework at children’s point of view, they are disgusted
of me. As homework, I usually get thrown in the trash
unless someone needs me, then I am not useless
until they are done with me. If people paid attention to what
they do, no one would throw the beautiful green paper I am.
Come on, people! You should know I never die, I only turn to particles.

Day in the Life of a Worm
Today was an amazing
day today! So I was
getting ready to go on
a date with my future
boyfriend! So when I was
getting ready, my brother said
there’s no point of looking
in the mirror, your face
looks like your rear
end then I got really
irritated.

The Zipper
I remember the Zipper. The
ride took me to memories that
I hate. I will get on to
face the fast and furious ride.
I hang on upside down waiting
to get off. What I mean is
I still like to get on.
