It was a bright and sunny April morning when Randy woke up with a big smile on his face. Today was Randy’s 18th birthday. He wasn’t going to let anything ruin his big day. Randy got dressed and walked down the hallway from his room to see a big breakfast waiting for him on the table, it was his favorite; eggs, bacon, home fries, and toast with raspberry jelly.
After breakfast he went to take a shower and get ready for his party. He put on a pair of shorts and his favorite t-shirt ad made he looked nice for his birthday. Around 1 o’clock the first to arrive was his grandparents followed by his aunt and uncle and the rest of his family. Everyone went outside for a barbeque to celebrate Randy’s birthday. After everyone ate they all sat around while Randy opened his presents. He got some clothes from his grandparents, a watch from his uncle and some videos and stuff for his car from his parents.
When randy was done opening present they had cake and ice cream. Everyone then hung out at Randy’s house for the rest of the night. At about 7:30 everyone started to leave and when everyone was finally gone Randy decided to go to the store and buy a lottery ticket. This was something that Randy said he was going to do the second he turned 18.
Later the next day Randy went on the computer to check the numbers and see if he may have won the lottery, which he knew, was nearly impossible so he didn’t have his hopes up. He looked at the computer and read the numbers; 4, 16, 7, 29, 55. Then he read his ticket’s numbers; 4, 16, 7, 29, 55. He took a second look at the computer then at the ticket he couldn’t believe what he was seeing, he had just won the lottery, he had 3.2 million dollars coming his way. Randy realized he was set for life. Like he said, nothing was going to ruin his birthday.

Football ABC Poem
Although there’s a rain storm outside,
Bleachers are full,
Coats are worn by adoring fans,
Defending their bodies against the rain,
Everyone is on their feet watching the game,
Full of mud the players run up and down the 100 yard mud pit,
Half-time finally comes,
Inside goes the football team trying to warm up before the 2nd half,
Joining them is their coaches to talk to them about the 1st half,
Kids sitting on benches,
Looking at each other trying to find water,
Minutes later the coaches arrive to the locker room,
“Now is the time where we can’t give up. We are up by 2 touchdowns”,
Outside the rain is still coming down by the bucket full,
Pacing throughout the locker room the boys start to get geared up for the 2nd half,
Quickly they strap their helmets back on,
Running back down to the field they re-cover themselves in mud,
Slipping and sliding while they stretch,
Ten minutes later a horn goes off,
Upon the boys was another 2nd half of football,
Winning was the end result,
X was the play that won it all,
You couldn’t even imagine the excitement on the field,
Zooming back to the bench, the captains grab the water to pour on the coach.

Ode to Summer
The greatest time of the year
The time of no worries,
Just fun.
The time when pools are full
And so are the lines at the creemee stands.
The time when your biggest decision is,
Sneakers or flip flops
The time when school,
Is the last thing on your mind.
The time when your homework,
Is to sleep in as long as you can.
The time when air conditioning,
Is your new best friend.
The time when I can finally say,
Thank god it’s summer!
The time of no worries,
Just fun.
The time when pools are full
And so are the lines at the creemee stands.
The time when your biggest decision is,
Sneakers or flip flops
The time when school,
Is the last thing on your mind.
The time when your homework,
Is to sleep in as long as you can.
The time when air conditioning,
Is your new best friend.
The time when I can finally say,
Thank god it’s summer!
Football Free Verse
The feeling of the sun beating down on you,
Running rapidly for hours in the 80 degree weather
Putting all you can into a sport you love.
Watching as your sweat drips from your forehead
Knowing that you’re training for a battle every Saturday
Looking across the field;
Knowing that there are 11 guys that are coming after you
Getting in the trenches with some of your closest friends
Fighting each other to make yourselves better
But ending it with a handshake
All of this is worth it that one day in November
When your team raise that state championship trophy in victory.
Found Poem
The king lies in the sun
While swimming in a pool of money
Beautiful birds are chirping
While he snores in the pool.
Basking in the heat of the sun,
Eyes tightly closed.
A mental image sporting events
Basking in the sun
While kids play,
This is the ideal lifestyle.
While swimming in a pool of money
Beautiful birds are chirping
While he snores in the pool.
Basking in the heat of the sun,
Eyes tightly closed.
A mental image sporting events
Basking in the sun
While kids play,
This is the ideal lifestyle.
Free Verse
Thinking of you
I think of you when i wake in the morning
And when i rest at night
You are by far;
A wonderful sight
Whenever I'm with you;
You always make me smile
So if you would;
Please just stay a while.
Winter
It's so much cold
With so much snow
Your all bundled up
With no skin to show
The ice on the ground
Reflects like a mirror
Making the slippery spots
A lot less clearer.
I think of you when i wake in the morning
And when i rest at night
You are by far;
A wonderful sight
Whenever I'm with you;
You always make me smile
So if you would;
Please just stay a while.
Winter
It's so much cold
With so much snow
Your all bundled up
With no skin to show
The ice on the ground
Reflects like a mirror
Making the slippery spots
A lot less clearer.
The Countdown
The clock is ticking,
Lots of eyes watching it eagerly.
The last week of school is finally here,
The last final is handed in.
3 months of fun in the sun is on its way.
As the students eyes stick to the clock,
Like a fly to fly paper.
The minutes tick away,
Just as slow as they possibly could.
Looking outside at the sun,
Thinking of all the better ways to spend a beautiful day,
Other than in school.
Just when it seems like time keeps dragging,
The bell rings,
Everyone races to their cars,
And race off the campus.
Summer.
