All the things I said
The things I said a little too loudly
A little too harshly
Cutting like a knife I didn't know I was holding

All the things I didn't mean
What I said when I was hurting
When I was scared
When I'd hit the top of the world and crashed over it

All the things I said
That I started to confide
Behind closed hands and tight lips
It got scarier
Scarier
Scarier

The things I stopped feeling at all
All the things I said
Until I didn't
Unsaid thoughts filling up
Every new inch

This poem is inspired by 'Aunt Jennifer's Tigers', using the idea of time passage through the poem.

I can't live without my family
Family gives me a love for my life
I can't live without water
Water is essential for all living things to live

Family shows me how much they care for me
Family tells me how much they love me
Family explains to me how much they like me
Family describes to me how much they need me

Water releases my hydration
Water improves my digestion
Water keeps my temperature
Water protects my body

Water is like my family
Family and water are essential things in my life
I can't live without family
I can't live without water

This poem is inspired by Maya Angelou's "Still I rise" and uses ABCD.

Outside the window,

Hustle and bustle of the dark night,

The drunk waddling

mumbling about what a bad day it is,

couples back from work

with great tiredness,

the faded love proved the how unrealistic the hope is.

But look!

Inside the window, the light is shining

little, delicate, but shining

Outside the window,

the lightning cracks

the thunder roars,

the rain is seeming to cause flood to cover the whole land

But look!

Inside the window, the light is shining

little, delicate, but shining

Outside the window,

birds chirping,

escaping from the branches

insects fleeing,

away from the twigs that they just sing in ecstatic,

But look!

Inside the window, the light is shining

little, delicate, but shining

Oh

great lord

no matter how hard you destroy the nature

no matter how diligent you tried to give the bitterness of life to humans,

Inside the window, the light is shining

little, delicate, but shining

Those almond-shaped eyes,
How they crinkle when you smile
That rich, coffee-color brown
How I could stare at them for a while.

That curly, umber hair
How I wish I could touch
Those soft, silky waves
How I adore each strand so much.

Those straight, white teeth
How they stand out when you grin
And those perfect, soft lips
How your laugh makes my heart spin.

Every part of you I admire
How your beauty makes me flatline
Each birthmark sitting in place
How I wish you were mine.

This poem was inspired by Maya Angelou's poem, Still I Rise. I used the ABCB rhyme scheme from that poem.

I hate your name

I hate your eyes

I hate your smile

I hate that you make me smile

I hate that you are so protective

And make me feel cared for

I hate that a hug from you can fix anything

I hate that I’d trade the stars in all the sky

To put a sparkle in your eye

I hate that I will always put you

Before anything.

My poem is inspired by 'Hate Poem' by Julie Sheehan. I used the same I hate format to talk about things I secretly love.

Oh, how I hate it when you are away

Whether it’s thirty minutes or forty-eight hours, I miss you more everyday

Your support has gotten me through highs and lows

Through the exciting days and the days that are slow

I miss the way you understand me better than I understand myself

You give me the advice that you never gave yourself

Instead of on long calls, miles away

I wish you were in my arms planning to stay

This poem was inspired by Aunt Jennifer's Tigers by Adrienne Rich. I tried to use the same rhyming technique she did while keeping a good flow.

That tree is sturdy, It stands within a solid shape.

Its trunk is strong and old.

Its leaves blow in a soft hot breeze.

Its inner peace may be disturbed but it stands strong for those around it.

It gets colder and the leaves get older, their appearance changes.

Its surrounded by the soft smell of rot yet;

that seems so comforting.

The light is dimmer outside as they all move inside.

It's bare and chilly. That only means the ground holds on stronger.

A solid and weighty hug.

It wears a sweater of soft white.

They admire its beauty as they walk by but don’t stop to say hi.

Its leaves grow back again. Beautiful, soft, and green.

All around everything thrives.

It exudes a soft comfort for those around.

But even through the shared comfort and love, they begin to pack up and leave.

It’s alright though. They’ll be back soon.

This poem is inspired by ‘Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers.’ I follow the same idea of passing time in addition to the format.

I stared through the window

Looking at the sky

The crescent moon

Passing me by

The trees blew in the storm

The leaves rustling in the night

They terrified me in the silence

That a killer might come to bite

Eventually I woke

After dreaming of a rocky coast

To my relief I was alive but then

I looked in the mirror and saw my ghost

This poem was inspired by Maya Angelou's poem, Still I Rise. I used the ABCB rhyme scheme from that poem.

The cat chased the dog

and scratched him on the back,

He screamed and cried

And fell down on the shack.

The dog chased the cat

And jumped into his lap,

The cat got mad

but decided to take a nap.

The cat and the dog

Said sorry to each other,

Shocked by their actions

They ran back to their mother.

This poem is inspired by Maya Angelous poem Still I Rise. I use the same ABCB form that is used in Still I rise.

You may shut me out
Alone up in your room
You may leave me in the dark
But still I'll love you

Is it mybgrades thatbupset you?
So they make you feel inferior?
I hope you know I do not
Wish to be your superior

Just like the consistency of change
With certianty it will not wander
The path in instead is straight and clear
Still I'll love you, scouts honor

Leaving behind years of screams and shouts
I love you
Moving into a future fresh like sprouts
I love you
I can feel it in my core
The hope I held before
I love you
I love you
I love you

This poem is inspired by Maya Angelou's poem Still I Rise. It uses a similar structure and rhyme pattern.

One time in my mom's friend's car
She asked me if I wanted to eat
A Fig Newton on the way home.
She pulled out a box from under the seat.

She told me how much she loved them
And I didn't want to tell her I didn't like
Them as much as she did, or at all,
So I just opened a packet and took a bite.

She asked me what music I wanted to
Listen to, and I said I had no idea so
She put on a random radio station
And we didn't talk until I got home.

I used ABCB rhyme scheme for this poem.
