For my last year in high school, I had to write quite a few poems in my English class, and even wrote one for Health. I had written poems for school before, but these ones I put a lot of thought into, and I really enjoyed writing them. They aren't the best, but I like how some of them turned out.

This is a free style poem written in for my World Literature class. The theme was to write a poem as if we had been away from our family for a while.

Without You

Dear mom, dear dad, oh how I miss you
Dear little sister, you I wish to see too
Without you life just isn't the same
Every day I feel as if I'm just soaking in rain
I miss the hugs and kisses
I miss the goodnight wishes
Without you I feel so lost
Even freedom comes with a cost
Some go on without their family just fine
But I could never live without mine
Without you I feel so lonely
I want to go back home, my one and only.

This one is a tanka, which is a Japanese style poem. It has 5 lines 3 of which must have 7 syllables, and the other 2 lines have 5 syllables. I like how this one came out.

The Last Flower

Life has been fulfilled
Standing in the field
Of you, only thoughts remain
Wind blows my petals away
Last flower of the season

In my English class, we have to do projects after reading a book. I wrote a poem based on the book Dark Assassin by Anne Perry. If you plan on reading the book, this poem may spoil. But you can understand it without having read the book.

Dark Assassin

Dark assassin
Where do you hide?
Dark assassin
Feeding lies into their minds

First you kill the father
For you, he was a bother
You made it look like a suicide
People believed by his own hand he died

But the daughter, she knew
Though she hadn't met you
She knew murder befell her dad
No way he could have been mad

So she began her search
Needing truth to quench her thirst
She must clear the name of her kin
For suicide is a sin

Fearing what she may do
Her you killed too
People believed she took her own life
Due to internal strife

As the killer you almost had no face
Until William Monk took the case
He almost lost it but found you out
You were a killer he had no doubt

Dark assassin
Now you too are dead
Dark assassin
You paid in the end

This was written for my Health class.

Poem about AIDS

She sits on her bed
How could this happen to me?
The question rings in her head
No longer can she be free
A tear rolls down her cheek
As she thinks about her life
Now her future looks so bleak
Nobody would want her as a wife

Once infected you can't get away
AIDS affects so many every day

It only takes one
One foolish mistake
Is a night of fun
Worth all the pain when you wake?
Think ahead
It's not that hard
Before you get in bed
Else for life you'll be scarred

Once infected you can't get away
AIDS will kill you day by day

This was written for the original RP group for the holidays. It's my own version of Winter Wonderland, based off of the holiday picture Kelbora drew. For the most part, the syllables are the same as the original song, and I rhymed as often as I could, that can get a bit tricky sometimes lol. Well, I hope you enjoy it!


Sung to Winter Wonderland

Christmas time is approaching
For a gift, I'm thinking
A wonderful time
To make up a rhyme
Playing in our winter wonderland

Snowballs fly all around us
Back and forth, it's humorous
The syblings still fight
This could last all night
Playing in our winter wonderland

In the meadow we will build a snowman
All 'round Voorhees 'till he's nice and round
We'll say "Having fun?"
He'll say "No way!"
And we'll all have to run
When he gets free

Later on, we shall Role Play
At the end of our fun day
We'll drink hot cocoa
Courtesy of Pho-pho
Playing in our winter wonderland

In the meadow we will build a snow fort
To keep away the noobs and fan girls
Glein'll keep a lookout for the enemy
So protected the whole group shall be

When it snows Scarlett and Anju
Xynith and Sili all have fun too
We'll frolic and play, 'till the end of day
Playing in our winter wonderland

Playing in our winter wonderland
Playing in our winter wonderland
