All I want is someone to lean on Someone to be there for me

All I want is someone to lean on Someone to want me  Someone to need me

All I want is someone to lean on Someone to help me when I have fallen Someone to dry my tears Someone to tell me I'm beautiful when I look like a mess

All I want is someone to lean on Someone to love me  Someone to hug me  Someone to call at midnight if I'm hurt Someone to not give a care in the world when he's with me

All I want is someone real

Stars

Shining so brightly That they take over the sky. A million scattered everywhere, Ridiculously glowing. Stars never look the same.

I Remember

I remember how I used to run through the sprinkler. I remember the car my brother used to push me in. I remember my old house, And how we used to run up to the neighbors’. I remember how amazing 7th grade was with him in my mind every second. I remember how heartbroken I was when he started dating her. I remember the time I moved in, And even though I didn’t like it at the time, I remembered that change is always an important part of life. ‘Cuz my favorite memory’s yet to come.

**The Trees' Branches**

Like a tree We grow and change In due season New twigs, new branches, new leaves Extend from the origin Of whom we once were. As the trees' leaves fall And dance across the ground We ourselves break From our past origin And make a new beggining -NateF

Summer full of fun, full of partying, full of joy. When summer comes school is out, the bugs are out, and we never sleep.

FRIENDS Acquaintance, buddy, partner, well-wisher Gosh, do I really miss her!

SUMMER Sunny season, summer solstice, picnic days It puts us in a daze!

__Joyous Things__ So much depends upon the little joyous things we do how we laugh or smile changing, thinking, or our mood making others happy too Izabella R grade 6

Blue is the color of water Blue is the color of the sky above us Blue is the color of a feeling when I'm sad. Blue is the color of icy snow in the winter Blue smells like my clothes when they come out of the drier Blue taste like cotton candy at baseball games Blue sounds like the ocean crashing on the shore Blue looks like outer space in the night sky Blue is my Favorite color!

The Parrot Inspired by William Blake //Tiger//

Parrot, parrot colors bright In the meadow in the light What beauitful wings Of symmetry

In what skies Do you fly? What beautiful wings Of astonishing colors

A rare parrot flies Beneath the sky With blazing speed He gains

Where was his brain In his noggin When he flies In to a lake

Quickly flies Licking his wings Lies in the sun Drying his wings

Quickly regains His blazing speed Back to normal He flies again

My Pocket by Karly S 6th grade

A stick, A stone A bone, A scone An icepick A kidney stone

A feather quill A living thing A potato chip A teething ring

A drum, some gum A candy bar A rubber band A model car

A stupid love note from my friend Space rockets Some odd blends "What could now be in my pockets"

The balloon floats up to the sky, into the great unknown. To never be seen again.
