the dogs run around.
The adults talk, 
and the birds chirp. 
The ice cream truck turns around the corner,
It's music playing loudly. 
The summer is fun. ]]> 2021-06-02 15:32:09 UTC https://padlet.com/2022cbartoszuk/2zwqq6pstfoc3xrj/wish/1579867320 Growing up (couplet) 2022cbartoszuk https://padlet.com/2022cbartoszuk/2zwqq6pstfoc3xrj/wish/1579873628 I want to be something when I grow up, Not just sitting and drinking tea from an old cup. 
Like my grandma does, an old lady she becomes. 

I want to be something, instead of just dumping.
My hopes and dreams, they will relive. ]]> 2021-06-02 15:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/2022cbartoszuk/2zwqq6pstfoc3xrj/wish/1579873628 Moon (ballad) 2022cbartoszuk https://padlet.com/2022cbartoszuk/2zwqq6pstfoc3xrj/wish/1579879009 The moon, it shines.
Like a big white button on a large black coat. The stars dance in the sky, they all align. Like someone has written a beautiful note. 

The birds are asleep. The trees sway in the wind. Little kids are counting sheep. And the moon still shined. ]]> 2021-06-02 15:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/2022cbartoszuk/2zwqq6pstfoc3xrj/wish/1579879009 Mermaids (cinquain) 2022cbartoszuk https://padlet.com/2022cbartoszuk/2zwqq6pstfoc3xrj/wish/1579886477             Oceanid 
    powerful, beautiful
swimming, singing, playing
 their voices echo around
           mermaids

The happy sing-song voice comes on. 
"Buy yourself a new perfume!" they shout.
"Would you like a brand new car?" 
"Or maybe a lamp shaped like a star?"
They talk and talk and talk and talk
Until the voice buzzes out, and the newest song comes on.
Singing about their life and doubt
Muffling the sing-song voice out]]> 2021-06-02 15:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/2022cbartoszuk/2zwqq6pstfoc3xrj/wish/1579892114 Forgetting (free verse) 2022cbartoszuk https://padlet.com/2022cbartoszuk/2zwqq6pstfoc3xrj/wish/1579909097 Forgetting something is the hardest thing to do. 
Unless it’s your homework, or your chores. 
It’s hard to forget something that was important to you
That’s what I don’t get about the brain, 
It won’t forget a war, but it’ll forget a rule
It will forget something that you really need to do
It will forget something about school 
But it won’t forget about fear
A year passes and you still remember that horrible night
Or that humiliating mistake. 
It forgets about all the things you want to keep
But remembers all the things you want to leave.
