Concrete poem

I am round and black
I tend to be in very cold places
Im three inches in diameter and one inch
thick. I get slapped around all over the ice.
If i get to warm i wont slide very well, that
is why you should keep me on top of ice
There are multiples of me and many
have stickers on me that say im
official. They call me a puck

Sonnet poem

Should i travel to work today on my bike
Or should i drive my gas hog truck to work
Do i need to pack a lunch for work now
I am not looking forward for work
I dont want to be there for twelve hours
Taking out all my day to hang with friends
My mom says to work more often for money
But i want to spend time in the sun
Chillin next to the pool on a hot day
With a snowcone right next to me in my hand
And a nice cold mountain dew along with me
This would be the ideal day come summer

Daily journal

The house was made of... wobbly wood that was from a wagon back in the 1800's. This house was probably one of the most scariest houses i have ever seen in my life and i am pretty sure that it was haunted. People have told me that the little old lady named Gabby murdered at least five people in that house and that's why the house was haunted. My friends and i decided to sneak up to the house at like ten thirty at night. I told them that this is probably one of the most dumbest ideas i have ever done in my entire life. The both of them were so happy to do this and didn't care what would happen to them. We are walking up to the house and it had this smelling fume that made me want to squint my eyes because it was so bad and horrible. As soon as we get to the door we hear a twinkle sound coming from the inside of the house. This made it even more scary, to be up there on this little old lady's front step about to open the door and see what was inside. Right as my friend started to open the door when a cop decided to turn on his sirens.

Assonance

One night i was very frightened
There was a guy with a pie
Hiding behind a tree at a quarter past three
My phone started buzzin so i started runnin
Then i saw the cops they were thinking about taking shots
There was a flash then a crash
My friend looked, then got booked
I saw his honey to get the money
To get him out so he wouldn't pout
I'm free like a bee
Never again will i stay out at past ten
And stay at home next to the phone

Scared time in life

A time in my life where i was scared was when i was ten years old. I was in the summer time and our family was outside doing yard work around the house and my first dog was out there with us. We were all doing something and i started  to play with the dog around the yard with her ball that she had. In the backyard of my house there is a sidewalk that a lot of people with either run by or walk there dogs by. My dog would always see these people going by and would run to the backyard and start to bark at them. We never really worried about her actually going up on the sidewalk or even on to the very busy road behind my house until this day. Nobody was walking or running behind my house and my dog just took off running, so i ran after her because i didn't know where she was going to run to. She ended up running up the hill and then onto the road. So i kept following her even onto the road, didn't even look to see if there were any cars coming down the road. When i got on to the road to chase her back off i picked my head up for just a second and there were two cars coming right for me and my dog. I was lucky enough to get her and me off the road just in time before the cars got to us. I ended up yelling at my parents to grab her and to disapline her for going out of the yard.

Onamatopeia Poem

Wordle: Hockey

Random journal

Yesterday was our first section hockey game, and this game was a play-in game where in order to be apart of the sections you need to win that play-in game. But last night we played Sibley High School and we weren't ready to play right off the start. We were down one to zero in the first two minutes of the game. Our coach was very upset that we were down a goal right away and we had to get that goal back fast otherwise we might not be playing hockey anymore. By the end of the first period we had tied it up and in the locker room our coach yelled at us because we shouldn't even be tied with this team right now because they are not even that good. He also yelled at us to get us to wake up and start to play some hockey. At the start of the second period we started to play real hockey, three minutes into the second I scored my first varsity hockey goal to take us into the lead one. From there we scored two more goals in that period. The other team ended up scoring to more goals and then we scored two more goals in the third period. Seeing how we won our play-in game we get to play against Apple Valley on Thursday. I am really excited to play them because i never really got to play them at all this year because of my injury. Hopefully this wont be our last game on Thursday.

Alliteration Poem

Betty B. baked the best bread
By baking all day
With heaping hills on her head
Living, laughing, loving by the bay

Singing songs with soul
Deciding to dance
A miracle man with a mole
Reminded her of romance

Childhood memory

My earliest childhood memory would have to be going to Disney World with my family and my grandparents. We spent about a week in Disney World and then we went on the Disney cruise ship for five days. When we were in Disney world we saw the parade we all the different Disney characters and i ended up getting a autograph book where all the Disney characters could sign it for me. One day i got a really cool tiger painted on my face and it covered my entire face, i ended up getting a lot of complements on my tiger face. Our hotel was probably the coolest hotel i have ever been in because everyday when they would come into our rooms to make our beds they would take a towel and make really cool animals out of them. I remember going out to dinner at this fifties restaurant and our waiter was really funny and i had my elbows on the table and for him that meant disrespect. So me being the immature kid i did the exact opposite and put my elbows in the table.

Sense of time poem

August
August is very blue
The color of a carribean blue ocean
August feels like vacation
Sounds like birds chirping in the air all day
Smell like people mowing there yards
Tastes like snowcones
August is a relaxing month

Daily journal

A man walks out into the cold night air. His hands are shaking from what just happened. He just witnessed a murder occur, he doesn't know what he should do. Should he go straight to the police station or should he totally just forget about it and continue on with his life. A couple days pass by and he still hasn't told anyone about this not even his wife, and all over the news is the police trying to find this guy who murdered three people in one night and robbed them all. The police finally decided to give a reward for anyone who had witnessed this crazy man murder all of these people. He finally decides to go down to the police station on one of his days off from work. When he got to the police station they asked what could i help you with and then he replied i witnessed that man murder all of those people.

Song lyrics

1. i chose this song because i first heard it in Tarzan and it a really good song to. Its important to me because anyone can really relate to this song
2. The story in the lyrics is that something bad is going to happen and he is going to protect this person and they will always be in his heart.
3. I don't know the structure, maybe free verse.
4. The emotional mood is like kind of sad.
5. The message in the song is no matter what you do there will always be someone there to protect you, and you will always be in someones heart even if you don't think so
6. The intention to this music is to show he cares for people.

Parts of speech poem

The rink
Big and cold
Yelling and swearing
Hockey puck

Free writing

I am really excited for this weekend because i have two games left before our section game sometime next week. These last two games are going to be big games for us to see if we can move up a couple of points in the standings. I am kind of sad that these could be the last two games for m, i will never be able to play for a Eastview team ever again after this. Though i am somewhat happy that the season is just about over because it wasn't a successful season for us even though i was out the majority of it i am read to be done with it. Then my next sport that i will play will be golf and i am really excited for this because we take a trip down to Arizona and we spend five days there golfing. These courses that we golf on are some of the most expensive courses out in Arizona and we get to play on them for a good price. The golf season can tend to be a little long to but i like how the practices are really easy for us and we cant get benched for having a bad score. This weekend i wont be doing much except for working on sunday instead of sleeping all day but i need the money to put gas in my car to drive it.

CINQUAIN poem

Hockey
A winter sport
Time to spend together
Minnesota, state of hockey
Lets play

Journal

I wake up and try to take a deep breath, but the deeper the breath the more severe the pain. The ground is hard beneath my back, and I feel a dull pain in my arm… I need to get out of this tent at this campground I'm staying at with friends, if i am going to lay here any longer my back will go out on me. My arm has been hurting for a couple of days now and i think it is from the four wheeler accident i was in the other day. I really need to go get that checked out at the doctor's office because i think i might have a couple broken ribs in my back. It is extremely hard for me to breathe anytime of the day but at night when i am laying down it gets even harder for me to breathe and i feel like i might die from not breathing. I remember the four wheeler rolling over top of me and then after that i don't really remember much at all. My arm got caught underneath the tire and rolled over top of it maybe even breaking my arm.

Metaphor poem

Life is like a bumpy road with constant stop's and go's.
You never know when the road will end.
But i keep on trucking,
because im curious to see where the windy road will end.
The signs down the road guide me down the right path.
With the help of maps on the way.
Now i know im on the right path.

Best friend

My best friend is a friend who i share a lot with moved away to North Dakota but we still are close. When he lived down here in Minnesota we would do some crazy stuff, that some time would get us into a little bit of trouble. His personality is just like mine where we cant be sitting down for a long time otherwise we will get bored and would want to do something active. We played hockey with each other for at least seven years and where really close on the ice. Unfortunately he moved back to where he was from and where they were a lot closer to there own family. That day was a really sad day and can remember saying goodbye to him for the last time. We are still close to this day and we might end up going to the same college.

Simile poem

Your teeth are like the stars
There as bright as a light
So straight like a railroad track
Your teeth are like money
Because it only took four years
I wish mine were like yours

Simile excercise

1. A calendar is like a mirror because you look at it everyday.
2. A sandwich is like a art because everyone has there own opinion.
3. An ice cube is like a cookie because they both melt in your mouth.
4. A knife is like a whisper because it can be sharp
5. Kissing is like a careful collision because you never want it to hurt.
6.  feels like a peeled grape.
7. Lasagna feels like leftover spaghetti.
8. Falling in love sounds like fun because everyone wants it.
9. A dentist’s drill feels like grinding saw because you cant hear yourself think.
10. Tomato soup tastes like bleeding hearts because everything is red.

Cont. of a line journal

Out of the dark we came, into the dangerous forest. There was a creepy trumpet player playing it in the middle of the forest. So my friends and i ran as fast as we could out of the dangerous forest where this old man was playing the trumpet. As we were running out of there we heard the trumpet stop, then there was a squeal. We stopped, looked at each other and then sprinted even faster out of the forest. Finally we were out of the forest and in some persons back yard where there was a crafty tree house where we sprinted up it to watch if a person was going to follow us out of there. While we were watching the forest all of a sudden there was a constant reek of a rotten egg smell in this tree house. we started to search for where this smell was coming from but could not find out where it was coming from.

Limerick poem

There once was a man named Stu
He would tend to smell like poo
He never to a shower
He played with flowers
Now he smells like perfume

10 years from now....

Today i woke up at 3:30 in the morning because my newly born son wasn't able to sleep. I am trying to get used to this new house that me and my wife bought together. We are living in a nice three story house, in Minnesota, but we also have a house down in Arizona for the winter time here in Minnesota. I currently work doing mechanical engineering on different types of things that need to be fixed. This is also one of my dream jobs to do, was to be a mechanical engineer. I drive a Chevy avalanche and my wife drives a Chevy Tahoe, both which are brand new. Good thing i found my dream job that also gets paid very well so i can buy these types of things for us. My family lives in Minnesota and are coming down to see us in Arizona in the next couple of weeks. They plan on spending two weeks with us before the go to Mexico.

Ode to a hockey puck

Your just a little piece of black rubber
3 inch diameter and 1 inch thick
You spend all your time in a bucket
Your always beaten around the ice
Players trying to get
You into the net
Flying high through the air
At highway speeds
We see each other everyday

Most embarassing moment

My most embarrassing moment was in gymnastics here at eastview. It was the final day of the quarter and we were doing our final floor routines. a couple of people went before me and then it was finally my turn to do my routines. I started my routine and then when i had to do my front flip off the spring board, i started to panic. Because i didn't get a good run to the spring board and when i hit the board, i realized that i didn't rotate enough in the air to land on my feet. There were at least three other classes in their watching this class when this happened to me. I could hear some of the kids chuckling in the background while i was trying to finish my routine.

Auto-bio poem

Alex
Tough, honest, smart, kind
Brother of Samantha and Gabby
Lover of challenges, parents
Who feels energetic while playing hockey
Who needs laughter everyday
Who gives smiles, laughter, caring
Who fears all the finals at the end of the quater
Who would like to see different types of continents
Resident of Apple Valley
Stevenson

cont. of sentence

The lion looks over at me.... He then makes sure that I'm not looking at him and then he pounces onto the zebra eating him to death. Then the lion makes a weird call to all the other lions for them to come over to have some dinner. All the lions were eating and they all heard me move in the bushes, i didn't move a muscle when that happened. I only have a spear in my hand to help protect me but the way it was looking i wasn't going to do much damage to four lions hovering the now dead zebra. I had a special whistle that was loud enough that the lions couldn't hear but humans could, then more people came to help me with all the lions that were there and when they weren't looking all seven of us jumped out of the bushes and headed straight for the lions. We ended up getting all the lions but we lost only one person in this battle with the lions.

Thank you note

I would like to thank both of my parents because over the years they have really helped out with. They both have really helped me out this past year with college applications and giving me advice on what they think i should do for my future. Whenever i need advice from my dad he is always willing to be there and answer the question to the best that he can do. My mom is always there for me making me eat healthy and always cooking good food for me everyday. My parents are really generous so that i don't have to pay for my car insurance unless i get into a crash, i have to pay the difference in the insurance. The only thing that they said i have to do is put gas into the car that i drive. I am really going to miss my moms cooking when i go away to college.

Best & Worst place in the world

The best place in the world that is the most peaceful is Phoenix, Arizona. I went here last spring break with the golf team and it is really warm there. While on the golf courses there is no one around you because you are in the middle of the desert playing golf on top golf courses where the professionals play. All the grass is green on the courses and there is zero dead grass on the course. While playing on the courses you can see in the background the Rocky Mountains, with the sun beating down on you while playing.

The worst place in the world is the hospital. This is by far the worst place in the world because you know when your in there that something bad as happened. Like me, when i had to ride in an ambulance to the emergency room when i broke my leg. The smell of it in the hospital was the worst smell because you can tell that they sanitize everything. You see all the doctors walking around with masks on their faces because they either came out of surgery or there trying not to get sick from all the germs around you.

Free writing

I want to learn to learn in this class is on how to be more creative in writing. All of my papers over the years have been really boring and all of them say that i need to have fun with writing the paper to make it more interesting. And i know that i am not a very good writer to begin with and i am really going to need to be a creative writer in college.
