Shayneii, I loved the story! It was wonderful and really well thought out.

Shark... what can I say, that was hilarious! I loved the rhyme, meter, and really everything about it.

Everyone did a magnificent job these last two weeks, I really had my hands full with this one. Keep up the great work!!

I don't think I'll even try any more poems. I just have a very thick mind.

School, a sanctuary or a cell?

She walks down the hall, eyes open wide
Moving her head side to side
Watching, waiting, hoping in vain
Then as expected, in a flash
A hand pushed her books form her hands
They tumble to the floor, and land with a thump
They laughter behind her, goes louder each day
But her mind blocks it out and
Her thoughts pull her away
Everyday is the same, no different, no change
The only think that keeps her, from going insane
Is the dream she hides away, unseen
The bullies walk away, moving on to other games
A single tear runs down her cheek
Her thoughts swirl inside her head
Why me, not them? Why do they cause me such dread?
She lets her thoughts change to
The things she must do that day
She walks into class, and sees the bullies snicker
Something inside her breaks
The only thing that was keeping her at bay
She raises her fist and say "hay, don't just sit there
Lets play" the mock in her voice was clearly heard
And the others were silence by the change in her
Then one got up and laughed an said
"You don't have a chance"
The girl just smiled, she saw the fear in the other girls eyes
The same thing that she used to see,
When she looked in the mirror everyday.
Suddenly the teacher came,
She screeched, yelled, scream
The girls both stopped, dropped the evil gaze
And both walked away.
Nothing happened on that day
That would seem to change anything
But sense that day, she never again
Was bothered by them
See its not that she was stronger, or that she was even taller
It was that she had courage, to stand up and fight
Most bullies at school want an easy victim
But if you show them you're mind is strong, and your not afraid
Then they wont bother, to bug you every day
Remember these words, keep them in mind
Next time you hear nasty words from a peer.

Ok, thats mine, sorry if you find that it doesnt apply. Its just my thoughts in poem form.... :) And sorry this is the real one not messed up, this is the one i want you to judge.

It is the first day of school
I don't know why they are so cruel
They bring us back, year after year
Sometimes they drag us by ear

We sit in our classes, good as can be
What does it get us? More words to see
The bell rings, on to the next class
I hope you studied, we might not pass

It's time for our lunch
We all sit in a bunch
They serve us this slop
It makes me want to plop
It looks like moldy cheese
Don't make me eat it, please!

On to 5th hour
This class is quite sour
They make us take note after note
We take enough notes to sink a boat
This good go on and on
The bell rings like a gong!

I've got two periods to go
Oh boy! It looks like it might snow
I'll go home and grab my sled
Then my mom will whack me, square on the head

Yes! School is out!
It makes me want to scream and shout!
Woo-hoo! Alright!
You comin' to my house tonight?

I got home and played with glee
Now I have homework, Oh gee
Off to bed
Lay down my head
Only to start over the next day
