Argument Essay

 Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!

Hey please don’t eat me! I promise there are so many other delicious foods you can enjoy instead. Have you seen the feast waiting for you? There are greens, beans, mac and cheese, corn, cornbread, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, and even those cinnamon-sweet yams. Honestly, with all that food, do you really need me on the table?

Think about it, I'm not just a turkey. I’m a talented, friendly, hard-working bird! I help clean up crumbs, I keep the yard interesting, and I even practice my gobbling every morning. If you eat me, who will gobble the sunrise? Who will waddle in silly circles to entertain you?

Besides, I’ve been doing extra cardio lately, and trust me, that does not make for a tender turkey. Tough as old boots, that's me! You’d probably enjoy a nice warm plate of mac and cheese way more.

So please, let me live to gobble another day. With all the amazing food you have, I’m sure you won’t even miss me. And if you do… I can always dance for you instead. Deal?

Gobble on!  

by Kylon

I have a big heart. 

And sometimes i hate it 

I overthink,

Apologize too much,

Forgive too easy 

Worry to much 

About people who

Don't care about me 

I feel guilty 

For things 

I have no control over,

And i feel lonely 

Because im afraid 

I won't find anyone 

Who loves me 

As deeply as i do  

Never say you want me 

If you can never give me time 

Never say u like me 

When u can't comfort me 

Don't say i love you 

When you say the same words to her too 

Never say you'll try

When you just make me cry

I will always fall for your traps

Manipulation plan so intract 

The words i swallow 

The things left unsaid 

Will they ever be spoken 

All i think about is how you left 

So selfish so clueless 

Making me think I'm stupid

i can blame myself 

But maybe u were never the same .

BY JAMIYAH

Never Give Up

Life’s a journey 
twist and turns
Lessons taught
lesson learned
moments fleeting
time won’t stay
like the tide
it drifts away
dreams may rise
dreams my fall
stand back and take it all 
through the storms though the rain strength is born inside the pain
love may lift 
love may break 
but it’s the risk we’re meant to take every shadow every scar 
make you who you truly are 
chase the light 
embrace the fight
darkest roads still leads to bright
no mistake can hold you still
move away 
you always will

Flowers

Flowers are red.

Flowers are blue.

Flowers are violet

and purple flowers

bloom.

Just like us.

We are flowers

We are beautiful

and we bloom

We are dark and light

and we are not the same

We are flowers

That

We are to claim.

Eyes

 

            Eyes

 

Almost everybody's eyes are brown.

Some of them think it's ugly

    Others think they look good.

What I think doesn't really matter but still people like to talk to me and hear me.

Those brown eyes aren't ugly, whoever thinks that has to have a good reason to think that.

Brown eyes are beautiful

just like the other colors of eyes.

Brown eyes are like soil, they give life to plants

just like blue eyes that are water.

    

The green in plants are just like the green eyes,

the hazel eyes are just like caramel. 

The eyes that have scars aren't ugly,

they show that you've survived something other people didn't.

Honestly, all eye colors are beautiful.

brown eyes remind me of soil, coffee, chocolate, tree branches, capybaras, dogs, cats, those brown eyes aren’t ugly

instead they are beautiful. 

   

An example of life.  

   green eyes are like the leaves, grass, bird feathers, books, juices, fruits, green eyes aren't ugly, they are an example of life.

  blue eyes are just like oceans, seas, the sky, books, types of bird with blue feathers, they aren't ugly, they are part of life.

     Hazel aye are like caramel, like honey, like leaves, like beautiful crystals, like books, so they are not ugly, they are beautiful!

      Hazel-ish green-ish eyes are like a river, they are like caramel with nature, everything is beautiful, it's just people don't see it.

Enjoy your eye colors because some people can't see the beauty of this world but they can't see the wrongest things either.

Fire and Ice

 

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say ice.

From what I’ve tasted 

from desire-

I hold with those

who favor fire

Poem

 

Life of storm

The rain is falling,

The wind is howling,

Drip-lets falling,

Sky turning gray,

A storm is coming,

Doing good is easy,

Doing bad is hard,

Doing good isn't a waste of time,

Doing bad is a waste of time,

Never do bad,

Always do good,

Never give up,

Giving up is bad,

Always trying is good,

Poem

 

I am the Raven

 

By L. McLaunter

From my deepest condolences,

I regret to inform 

anyone that feels

 like they are stuck

 nobody will listen

 if you don’t make them. 

You can’t expect no one to hear

 if you don’t yell.

 Edger Allen Poe’s story The Raven will tell you,

 you won’t be heard if you whisper “nevermore”. You as the raven have to caw loud enough where people can hear you chant “nevermore”. 

Be the raven and make them

Make them listen. You tell yourself everyday “I am the raven”. But you need to believe it. 

Caw loud and proud and shout “Nevermore”! 

Don’t be Lenore, be the raven.

I am the raven and I always will keep chanting,

Cawing “Nevermore”.

Life only Calls When You're Near Death
                                by: Yuzuha Usagi

The night hums quietly,
Like it’s holding its breath.
Snow drifts and flies behind me in elegant circles,
Glowing like heaven's gate under the dead streetlights.

My footsteps vanish like every person who has walked my path,
Faster than I make them.
Like the world keeps shrinking around me,
Every trace I leave behind.

The air tastes like regret and metal,
A warning or a promise.
Somewhere far off,
A shadow moves like it's chosen me.

I don’t run.
I just keep walking,
Hands cold, heart steady.
Let the silence sharpen around me.

The once vibrant city watches me,
The sky waits.
And for one strange moment,
I feel like i’m meant to be here–
Lost,
Fading.
Following the dark snow
Wherever it takes me, I know it’ll

Just Shine and Walk By

                                  By: Harlym 

 

 

 You can shine like a diamond in the sky,

 But you can not let nothing pass you by,

 If you shine then you will divine, 

Just let those haters think there fine,

Be you and do not let anything take you down, 

Just walk strong and leave those haters with a frown,

You be you and stay kind,

So you can become a mastermind.

The Dance of Flowers

The dance of flowers.

In the gentle breeze,

flowers run wild,

their colors a vibrant tapestry of life.

Petals dance gracefully,

as if they are running towards the sun,

seeking warmth and light.

Each bloom runs with joy,

swaying to the rhythm of nature's soft whispers.

As the seasons change,

they run through the fields,

painting the earth with their beauty.

The Garden

In this garden

life runs freely

a celebration of nature's endless

wonders.

Sublime Yearbook Quote

Being a menace is easy,

Being a smarty is hard.

A Poem: Outside

 The grass is green

The sky is blue

My senses are keen

While I enjoy the view

The oak tree I'm on

Is kind of tall

It helps me look up

All things from afar

The trees' leaves and clouds

Always sway

While the ground stays bound

And fallen leaves blow away

The grass is fresh

With a lovely dew

The rainbow is meshed

But still a nice hue

Nature is lovely-

really nice

opposite of ugly

For me, the smallest parts would suffice

     by Jazmine

Fly

As delicate as a dove

I spread my wings

and fly

soaring through the night's sky

Let's hope I will fly
