I have a creative mind
Creative minds are minds that think
Differently...
Than others.

Creative people can be artistic
They come in many shapes
And sizes.
They are ALL different.

They see problems in different ways.
They understand things in different ways.
Sometimes
They handle things in unique ways.

They different
With a different personality.

Potatoes
I like French fries more than potatoes
They're the same thing
Right?
Normal potatoes are just so
NORMAL!
French fries are like
a new taste

It's weird that I like fries more than potatoes
They are the exact same thing
But in another form.

I have some good things and some bad things
Let's start with the good news
Because it's supposed to be good
I can help out with many things
I could help out with studying
I could help with problems
I can talk too much

Here is the bad news
I can be busy
I might not spend as much time playing with you than before
I'm more different
I'm the TOTALLY the most average person you have ever seen
I'm scared of alot of things that you don't know

There you got it
And handbook and notices about me

Her meatball nose
Its so big
And it's shaped like a meatball.
It's her best feature

When we got her
She had the biggest nose
And the biggest smile
Seems really happy.

She wakes me up in  my face
And then my other dog
Gets jealous
So she growls at my face

Because
HER face
Is in
MY face

# data[].attributes.body
Anywho,
What do YOU think?
Am I weird?
Am I normal?
Am I both?
Am I none?
Am I smart?
Am I average?
Am I big?
Am I small?
Am I a bucket of paper?
Am I being copied?

Anyways,
WHAT am I?

I love watermelons.
I love watermelons.

I love watermelons.
I love watermelons.
I just LOVE watermelons.
There is something I love more than that.
Watermelons.

You don't know how much I love annoying sounds
For example
The Nyan Cat theme
And the "Yippee" sound
Strange isn't it?
I find it that way

It's really crazy
But it helps me concentrate
Repeated sounds
OVER
AND
OVER
AGAIN

And I just love it.

# data[].attributes.body
I would rather
Buy a dog than a cat
Make mistakes than not make any
Play with others than me
Draw than color
Pet a dog than go to the park
Love dogs than staying at home
Do this than that.

Hate
Is a really strong word
If you hate HATE something
You might want to use it
Or
Just say
"Dislike"
Or
"Don't like"
It's nicer
Just
DON'T
Say hate if just really only dislike something

Pretty much of a start

"Weird"
"KK"
"Cray-K"
"Fat"
"Ugly"
"Roach"
"Kindle"
"Loser"

I hate those nicknames!
I don't like to play that game
I wish someone could understand
THOSE.
AREN'T.
TRUE!!!

It makes me feel blue
I'm always called
"Weird"
"Fat"
"Ugly"
"Roach"
"Loser"
By my sister, Zoe

"Cray-K"
"KK"
By relatives

"Kindle"
By classmates

I wish they would stop
And drop onto the floor
So stop
stop
stop
stop
stop
STOP!
I'm Kendall!

My birthday
Isn't today
I have to wait
For a cake

I wish my Birthday
Was today
Sometimes after it
It feels so late

On May sixteen
I won't be a teen
I wish I could,
Instead,
I'll be ten

Only if I was born early
I'd have more birthdays
Once it's my birthday
I feel fresh

The day after,
It just left me
In a Birthday later,
It'll get to me

YIPPEE!

Fall, my favorite
You are the 3rd latest
You are so cool
But we can't go into pool

I love your colors
Maybe others do
Too

Your leaves can come in many colors,
Red
Orange
Yellow
A cello will add the tune

But soon,
I will see you again
Very soon

When the speaker said," My dog likes to disco" it reminded me of my dog, Daisy, when she stands on her to back paws and moves around. I noticed the author used rhyme to make it part of a lyrical poem. I think the author most likely wrote this poem to express how his/her dog is skilled with talent.

# data[].attributes.body
When the speaker says," My... calls me..." it reminded me when I had nicknames of when I was younger, and I still have them now. The author uses some alliteration and rhyme to make it like a lyrical poem. I think the author most likely writes this poem to express the his for their nicknames.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed this poem because I can relate to this poem. Once, my dog, Mia, jumped onto the table to eat a bowl of chicken. When the speaker said, "jumped onto the table" it reminded me of that time. The author added the metaphors underlined to express how/what the dog was doing.

Evade
By Kendall Brady

Evade!
I love you!
I wish I could play you all day long

Your memes in the game
Could be a song

I wish was with you
All the time.

But I'm always some where
So I hardly get to play.

Evade!
I love you so.

Opposite of Daisy,
She isn't lazy
She likes to play
During the day.

She's really fun,
Out in the sun
She doesn't bite
People she likes

She likes to fight
On the trampoline at night
She's a white, fluffy dog,
And she could chew a log

She's really a dog,
But she's different from all

MLK changed the society of races.
He stood up for other races being mistreated.
He read his speech in front of thousands of people.
So,
Understand what he did for other people.

My dog, Daisy
By Kendall Brady

My dog, Daisy,
She's miniature Poodle
She's really stubborn
And hates listening to people

But,
She loves cuddling
And snuggling
She's as ferocious as a snake
And as mean as a stomach ache

She started to growl
Even when you are two feet away
With you walking past her
With food in her mouth.

Daisy,
She jumps on to the beds
And the back of the couch
And the kitchen chair

So,
She could be half cat
Too
Unlike you

# data[].attributes.body
It's ok to be different
Being different is cool
You could probably flip into the pool
Or some people are good at school
Or have a collection of tools.

It's ok to be different
That means you are the original you.
And no one else will be you
Imagine
What will happen if you are the same like everyone else
Pretty boring, yes?

So
It's ok to be different.

Once upon a time
By Kendall Brady

Once upon a time,
We were born.

Once upon a time,
We start to walk.

Once upon a time,
We go to Pre-school.

Once upon a time,
We go to elementary school.

Once upon a time,
We have grades.

Once upon a time,
We make it to middle school.

Once upon a time,
We end up in high school.

Once upon a time,
We start to drive a car.

Once upon a time,
We graduate high school.

Once upon a time,
We go to collage.

Once upon a time,
We have a house.

Once upon a time,
The end is near.

Once upon a life,
We miss and had fun upon a time.

She broke the trampoline!
By Kendall Brady

One day,
My sister and I went to stay
On the trampoline to play.

Later,
She saw her friend
So she went down to bend.

I gave her a lend
To help her see her friend
She started jumping
So her blood started pumping.

She bounced sky high,
Until she fell while grabbing the net
ThUmP! ClUmP! ThUd!

The pole fell out of place
And it also broke the lace.
You should have seen my sister's face!

Just in case
I let her down in a race
To tell my mom who can explain
How SOMEONE broke the trampoline.

Well,
At least my sister had fun breaking it.

Christmas Spirit
By Kendall B.

Far behind the white winter snow,

Was no more than a bright winter glow.

Above the bright winter glow,

Was a star that shined not very low.

Underneath the shining star,

Was a present that was not so far.

Inside that present not so far,

PLOP! BOUNCE!

Was a wiggly white winter puppy!

Christmas Tree! Oh, Christmas Tree!

By Kendall B.

Christmas tree! Oh, Christmas tree!

I adore you! You are awesome!

I wish I could play with you

in my room!

If only I could

make you alive.

Christmas tree! Oh, Christmas tree!

You are making me lovesick.

I would rather have a picnic with you than

playing barbies with my sister.

Or draw with you than

jump on my trampoline.

I would rather walk with you than

go shopping with my friends.

I would rather talk to you than

walk my dog.

I would do anything to

be with you.

Christmas tree! Oh, Christmas tree!

You are the first on my list,

but I only see a Christmas tree

as an exceptional friend.

If you would just be by my side in all I do,

it would help me

with everything too.

Christmas tree! Oh, Christmas tree!

I adore you! You are awesome!

Happy New You!
By Kendall Brady

A new year is here!

So many ways to go near...

So much things to fear

Low grades being rushed.

Overworking too speedy.

Anxiety taken too far.

Fears are eating you little by little.

So many things to try

Skiing.

Swimming.

Skydiving.

They can be a new passion.

So many things to see

Snowy, white, icy mountains in Utah.

Beaches in California.

Ombre sunsets in Florida.

The sights will amaze one.

This is a year to change one’s actions

And improve one.

Hi
My very first poem
I hope you come onto the journey
With me
Then you will see
Every single thing
But it won't really
Change anything
You won't be surprised
With your own eyes
You will see it
Until you lie.

A visit from my Uncle and cousins
By Kendall Brady

It was a nice, sunny day
The sun was shining,
The birds were singing,
Everything was super nice.

Suddenly,
A car pulled up on our driveway
And I looked at my window sideways.
Once the people got out of the car,
I understood that they lived far.

I had seen not one, not two, not three, but 4 familiar faces!
My Uncle, co Nikki, and Hailey and Riley!
I was panicking for a weird reason
And I have always felt shy
And in my stomach were always butterflies.

They brought their cat
And he was really fat
So I went to greet them
But I was babysitting a dog
My Uncle and cousins didn't know
But they let down their cat slowly.

Within seconds,
The dog Munchkin, the one I babysat,
Chased the OTHER cat, Ziggy
Munchkin was very picky
She chased Ziggy all around the house until the fat cat,
Skittles, Appeared.

SCRATCH!!!
Skittles has scratched Munchkin!
In a few seconds, Munchkin started bleeding on her nose!
My mom put a wet cloth on her nose
And her in my older sister's room, Brooklyn.

Later,
I was playing with Hailey's younger sister, Riley.
She suggested we play hide in seek
And it was fun.

A few hours passed,
And my cousins and uncle had to go home.
At the end of the day,
I thought
"That. was. AWESOME!!!"
