Noises Around Me


The noises around me 

are sometimes loud

 and sometimes quiet.

 When it's quiet 

I can hear the clicking of keys

 on computers when

 fingers press them down.

 I can hear people whispering 

to  people next to them.

 I can hear the movement of feet 

coming from  the students around me.

 When it’s loud

 I can hear moving of chairs

 and students calling out. 

People try to shush the students 

calling out, but it makes 

everything louder. 

The loud is harsh,

 the quiet is relaxing.

    Potion

    The potion I would make

     would be a soft pink. 

    It would smell like cherries. 

     This potion will be made for love.

     It would be made

     with a little bit of sugar,

    Stopping Time

    If I made a potion
    I would make a potion that would allow me to stop time.
    I think the ingredients would be a clock, of course,
    some water because it’s a potion,
    you need water in a potion!

    And maybe a frog,
  • Different but all the same

    No matter,
    Our differences.
    Our Skin.
    Our Clothes.
    Our Hair.
    Our Home.
    Our Beliefs.
    Our Religions.
    We can put aside all-
    Of our differences
    And come together 
    As one.

    We can have trust in one another.
