Life is a puzzle by Anonymous

Life is a puzzle,
Sometimes it is tough,
Sometimes it is simple,
Sometimes you find your way,
Sometimes you simply lose your say,
But, everything left per say,
The puzzle has to be solved,
Everyone has to play,
Life is truly a puzzle per say!

I'm being eaten by a Boa Constrictor
And I don't like it one bit

Whadaya know, it's nibblin' my toe
Oh gee, it's up to my knee
Oh fiddle, it's up to my middle
Oh heck, it's up to my neck
Oh dread, it's upmm-mm-mm-mmfffffffff

We cry over
Friends we will never have back
People we once loved
Bridges that have been burnt.
But there's a reason
The past is in the past.
You only have so much room
in your life,
Save it
For people that deserve it.
Chances are,
If someone's in the past,
They deserve to stay there.

The homework machine,Oh the homework machine, Most perfect contraption that's ever been seen. Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime, snap on the switch, and in ten seconds' time, your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be. Here it is-"nine plus four" and the answer is "three" Three? Oh me... I guess it's not as perfect as i thought it would be.

Life is given to us,
we earn it by giving it.

Let the dead have the immortality of fame,
but the living the immortality of love.

Life's errors cry for the merciful beauty that can modulate their isolation into a

harmony with the whole.

life, like a child, laughs,
shaking it's rattle of death as it runs

My heart is locked,                      With so much pain,      Black tear drops,       Leaves a puddle,             With a  memory,          That’s hiding from space, Stocked away,              Behind my soul,     Shattered to pieces,       With nowhere to go, Locked away,                      To never get out,                 To see the good side,         Of my broken heart

Just Me, the Ball, and the Basket

It’s just me, the ball, and the basket

The crowd may roar

The players may talk trash

The officials may blow their whistles

But I don’t hear them

It’s a free shot

No hands waving in my face

No opponents diving and reaching

at me

No twenty

-

four second clock ticking

No eager teammates waiting for a pass I can’t make

It’s just me, the ball, and the basket

I slowly raise the ball

Roll it sweetly off my fingertips

Watch its rainbow arc

Family

There are many ways to describe family
Family are the people who are always by your side
They are the people who care about you
The people you make memories with
Family aren't just people you relate to by blood
But the people who are always in your heart

Poem
Splash by Quinn Martin

¨We¨

¨Wo who¨

I hear as I walk up to the boardwalk

With my dad,my brother Patrick

And my neighbor Allie.

It was all of our first time jumping.

All three of us were really scared

¨Why am I so scared to jump I have jumped off the roof of a boathouse in Lake George when I was six now I am ten¨

I thought.

As another kid  dose her sixth jump.

My dad decides to jump so we would jump

So i decided to jump

air goes up my face

and though my hair

¨Ahh-¨

The years have passed by,
In the blink of an eye,
Moments of sadness,
And joy have flown by

People I loved,
Have come and gone,
But the world never stopped
and we never carried on

Life wasn't easy
And the struggles were there,
Filled with times that it mattered
Times I just didn't care

I stood on my own
And I still found my way
Through some nights filled with tears
And the dawn of new days

And now with old age,
It became very clear
Things I once found important
Were not why I was here

And how many things,
That I manages to buy,
Were never what made me
Feel better inside.

And the worries and fears
That plagued me each day,
In the end of it all,
Would just fade away

But how much I reached out,
To others when needed
Would be the true measure
Of how I succeeded

And how much I shared
of my soul and my heart
Would ultimately be
What set me apart

And what's really important
Is my opinion of me
And whether or not
I'm the best I can be

And how much more kindness
And love I can show,
Before the Lord tells me,
It's my time to go

The Loser by Shel Silverstein
Mama said I'd lose my head
If is wasn't fastened on.
Today I guess is wasn't
'Cause while playing with my cousin
It fell off and rolled away
And now it's gone

And I can't look for it
'Cause my eyes are in it,
And I can't call to it
'Cause my mouth is on it
(Couldn't hear me anyway
'Cause my ears are on it),
Can't even think about it
'Cause my brain is in it.
So I guess I'll sit down
On this rock
And rest for just a minute....

Some say the world will end in fire
Some say in ice
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire
But if it had to perish twice
I think i know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice

The road not taken by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both but be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth; then took the other, as just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim, because it was grassy and wanted wear; though as for that the wanted wear though as for that the passing there had worn them really about the same and both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black Oh! I kept the first for another day yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged and I-I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

A Patch Of Old Snow
By Robert Frost

There's a patch of old snow in a corner
That I should have guessed
Was a blow-away paper the rain
Had brought to rest.

It is speckled with grime as if
Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I've forgotten --
If I ever read it.

Always happy to see me

Showers me with kisses,

That's how I know I'm the one he misses.

When I've had a bad day

He doesn't ask why,

He just cuddles close

In case I need a good cry.

We love goofing around

And having fun at play,

We make time for that

every single day.

So, it's not hard to see,

Maybe you've guessed,

My dog is not just my friend,

He is the best!

To say that for destruction ice

If you have to dry the dishes
(Such an awful, boring chore)
If you have to dry the dishes

If you have to dry the dishes
And you drop one on the floor-
Maybe they won't let you
Dry the dishes anymore

I don't want to go into school today; Mum,
I don't feel like school work today.
Oh, don't make me go to school today, Mum
Oh, please let me stay home and play.

But you must go to school, my cherub, my lamb,
If you don't it will be a disaster,
How would they manage without you, my sweet,
After all you are the headmaster!

shel silverstein    “I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
“I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I’m going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox
And there’s one more—that’s seventeen,
And don’t you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut—my eyes are blue—
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I’m sure that my left leg is broke—
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button’s caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle’s sprained,
My ‘pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow’s bent, my spine ain’t straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is—what?
What’s that? What’s that you say?
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G’bye, I’m going out to play!”

Your body filled with a dreadful chill,
Stared at your desk, and the white old quill.
Windy night, the quill moved slight,
You turned the switch, seeking light.

No light came, the bulb was dead,
You thought of going back to bed.
Suddenly noticed, quill moved slight,
You approached, with all your might.

Not the wind, window was closed,
Heart raced, a message exposed.
You read in horror, ink was red,
"Not the wind, go back to bed!"
