Dear Pineapple, 
Have you noticed,
How similar we seem to be?
both owing someone loyal and true,
your friend, my friend, the one who’s 42
just someone to hang around with

For some reason I picture,
a luminous Bright day at the beach,
and just then, strolling on the sand,
I can view you and your friend

Who could ever imagine a coconut and a pineapple,
holding hands if,
they were meant to be?
it just seems as if I was compared to you 
and your friend, coconut, 
I just hope this can continue to be,

No description,
But simply,
a sweet sensation 
By Aime H.

Part One

Fresh Music


My grandmas bedroom wall

is engraved with the mindboggling

imaginations as a child


Creations so diverse like a picasso

each with a different meaning


Dull but colorful painted with

emotion and crazy picture


what was I thinking as a child.


--Cristian U.


Outside the Players

They are everywhere
outside the players
they cheer for their team 
and stick by them
like glue on paper
Usually hometown teams
and when rivals come to town
you want to beat them 
you them destroyed

Some fans are crazy
really extreme
but thats what
makes your team
WIN!
-Julian S.

Love


Make the color shine like a glazed donut.

When red comes in mind you think of 

love and doves.


life is red, blood is red, love is red,

mostly everything is red. Love is life 

will last a very, very long.


Red comes from our heart like doves 

from above. Cherish the color that is 

well known.

 -Kieran M.


Avicii


Everyone is dancing

as if they’re going wild like fangirls screaming over One Direction,

The whole crowd yells of excitement

as if it’s their first time riding a rollercoaster.


Avicii makes me feel like i can do anything

because everything is possible,

The sweat of everyone

like its been a long hot summer day.


Listening to Avicii is like

drinking diablitos in a long hot summer day.

-Yvette A.



Shot

Aggressive as bulls

It’s do or die

Ding

Like a school bell ringing

Halftime flutters me to paradise

But the sensation only lasted for so long


Gone in a heartbeat

I inhale my last breaths

My breaths dissolve as I breathe them

with the slightest thought of going back


I stare at the defense with cold eyes

All at once

Doubt falls on top of me

A tsunami


But I swipe it off

as the time ticks tirelessly

A time bomb about to explode

Heartbeat pounding


The basketball sweats in my fingers

The pressure falls on me

Unstoppable rain

I need an umbrella

Heartbeat pounding


It’s do or die

My doubt is gone

I got this

Swish

Clean as the whistle


-By Sirine N

Image of Art
Artistic vision,
each idea blossomed from your head, 
idea by idea,
creating a perfect image, 
showing ideas details from inspiration.

Colorful as neon,
all kinds of colors from different cultures,
getting inspired by who you are,
showing fierceness of your art.

People looking,
looking at new art by you,
others could be inspired by you're painting,
by what you are,
by you!
-Alyssa P.

Music,
Helped me in that one moment,
Helped me in that one crisis,

Music,
was my teachings,
Music taught me,
to live on!
-David M.
Middle School Students
 
Teachers try to figure us out,
But we are like a puzzle with a missing piece.
 
They try and keep us calm
But we start to become uncontrollable.
We have more drama, than the era of acting.
 
Teachers and others try to deal with our problems,
But sometimes it could be too much to handle,
Others can be too much to handle.
 
Some students can be goody to shoes,
But others can be a loose riot
 
Some may be bullies,
Others can be best friends
 
Some all have enemies,
But when the time comes
We all catch a tear or two in our eyes.

Impatiently Waiting

Listening to their music cheers me 
up and gets me motivated. 
if I could go to the future 
to the day I’ll get to see those five 
idiots I fell in love with,
their music and personalities and
how they speak saves many of their fans.
-Dalilah S.
