 Great Poems from Newport News, Virginia, USA

Image

By Robin, 14

The waves scream and crash upon a forgotten beach,
And slowly in whispering tones, they recede quietly.
Then, out of the great blue emerges a monster,
A wave powerful and fierce, but within there is hidden beauty. The perfect wave.

I quickly look down and squeeze my feet in the warm sand
And I feel comforted and safe,
But when I look up I am filled with a void of fear as the blue monster, as big as a building, comes crashing in.
Then, it lost its fierce height and was reduced to a minuscule mass.
It was less frightening, but it looked sad and scared.
It was scared...It was scared of me.

The wave tumbles in, and it screams like the screams of a hundred children.
For then the beastly wave was tamed.

I took one last breath of the salt drenched air, and I slowly turned toward the nearby tropical forest,
But what lies within the dense overhangs,
Even the great majesty of the sea does not know.

Grandma's House

By Hannah , 14

Visiting my Grandma has
always been fun. Her home
is always warm, cozy, and
comfortable; her pillows are
pillows are fluffed-
My Grandma's house.

When we are at Grandma's,
she cooks the best food around.
the kitchen is busy and always
smells of delectable, mouth-watering,
deserts and dishes of the meal-
My Grandma's house.

My Grandma always keeps
her house decorated in a cozy
way. She isn't like some Grandmas
who keep their homes all colorful
and playful; looking like a colorful bird-
My Grandma's house.

When I go to Grandma's,
I can eat all the food
she makes. The scrumptious steak
and, cherry cobbler. All of it is
like heaven-
My Grandma's house.

Peace and quiet is
what I would like at my Grandma's.
Unfortunately, that peace is
somehow disrupted by the boisterous,
and the rambunctious brothers and cousins-
My Grandma's house.

Beach

By Adam, 14

The smell of the sea-salts
And the smell of the water mix together
In an environment where
Everything is peaceful and serene.

Feel the sand shifting between your toes
As you climb up the dunes,
Which are treacherous mountains.
Feel the water surge past
In an attempt to knock you down.
And just feel the sun hitting you with its rays.

The sound of the seagulls laughing in the sky
Can be melded in with laughs and screams of people
Enjoying a happy part of their lives.
The surf crashing down
And the natural sounds
Provide a place of seclusion
And a retreat for those who need it the most.

There is not much of the beach to taste,
Except for the ice cream,
The cotton candy,
Or the delicious seafood
That the coast is famous for.

However, those four things are petty
When compared to looking
At the sands and waters before you.
To see the blues, greens, and whites of the ocean,
To see the browns and whites of the sand,
And to see the diversity
In the colors of the many people and wildlife.
It is a truly exhilarating experience.
Because this is the beach.

In the Eyes of Eye

By Ryland, 13

At the beach, in the dead of night,
Blue-black waves in the moonlight.
Dark behind, dark beside
In front, a tan beach, where the sea creatures hide.
This is what I see,
This is in the eyes of me.

Seeing it all, the beauty makes it sure
It should always be forever pure.
But people come, they build away,
Lost is the earth, rock, and clay.
It's ten to one, that is what this is
Man thinks that everything is his.
This, is, what I see,
This is in they eyes of me.

The life of the sea is dead
The perfection in an eternal bed.

Now at the beach there's no more light,
covered by the shadow of man's might,
It's now dark - a scorched black sight.

Blocked by pitch, I no longer see,
Never again with the eyes of me.

New York City

By Brandon, 14

These cars speed through the highway
A car represents me everyday
As they pass trough the city strife
People cut me emotionally like a knife
See people come and go out of my life
They don't know they cause me strife

As you can see
My life is like NEW YORK CITY

Midnight Star

By Linwood , 13

The midnight star
Shining bright
In the heavens above.
You can taste the mist,
And a kiss from the moon
From the stars above.

You riding low
In the midnight snow
Then you get stuck
Oh no
But look up,
And see the midnight star
You want be alone.

When you eating pancakes
In the middle of the desert,
Don't be worried,
Because the midnight star,
Is coming your way.

Riding your horse
Made of sugar canes,
And licorice
Then he dies
And you're stuck alone,
But don't be scared
IT'S COMING YOUR WAY!
Man.

Just watch out,
And shout
My house, my house
And the star,
Will come your way.

Out of the Ashes

By Sherry, 13

A mother and baby once lived in a house,
It was beautiful, down by the bay.
With a cool ocean breeze, and the wind in the trees,
And the most perfect, bright, sunny day.

The two lived in peace, and happiness too-
God himself seemed to bless them with luck.
Then one fateful day, their luck ran away,
And the most horrible tragedy struck.

The baby was napping, and so was the mom,
When the breeze knocked a candle askew.
But since the two were sleeping so soundly,
Neither mother or child even knew.

The mom woke in a sweat, with her hair to her neck,
To the sound of her small baby's cry.
The house was ablaze, with a thick smoky haze,
And the air was chokingly dry.

The mom rushed to her child, and picked her up quick,
Before all of the smoke got inside her.
She covered the baby's nose and mouth with a cloth,
Then she tried to escape the fire.

The baby and mom escaped without burns,
And the fire department was there.
The ambulance had also arrived on the scene,
And quickly gave the mom and child care.

The baby was fine because she had the cloth,
So she hadn't inhaled too much smoke.
However, the mother's case was not the same,
And she violently started to choke.

The medics did all they could to save her,
They truly and honestly tried.
But the mother had far too much smoke in her lungs,
So she sadly and tragically died.

A really high guy

By Alex, 13

A really high guy
He jumped off the Empire State Building and felt the cool rush of air on him.
Then he hit his tongue on the pavement below and tasted the bitter dirty road.
Then the blood comes rushing out like a mountain stream with its nasty smell.
The greasy wheel of a taxi hurdling towards his head.
The utterly loud screaming of the man as the taxi drives over his head.

Lumpia

By Anne, 15

Ginger sizzles in the pan
"Watch your fingers!"
A cry from my grandmother shatters the silence
I obey,
Narrowly missing a pinkie.
Chop...Chop...Chop.
Minced carrots and green peppers fall into the pan.

Two eggs are blended into a paste
That binds the wrappers.
Fingers are coated with gooey liquid,
Dripping down our arms.
"Lay the wrapper flat.
Palm-sized amounts.
Fold over.
Paste and repeat."
I chant in Rhythm.
Our hands are in sync.
Flowing as one.

Smells are intoxicating.
Rising to the gods,
For them to smell.

Everyone flocks to the kitchen,
Laying in wait.
Ready to pounce.

Biting into one becomes an adventure.
Seducing my mouth until I grab another.
And another.
And another.
And my hand reaches out to grab one last one.
But.
They're gone.

Peanut Butter Hershey Kiss

By Hubb, 31

A Hershey kiss is a candy sensation
That is sweeping the nation.
The chocolate tastes so rich
There is absolutely no glitch.
Just when you think it is too good to be true,
The indulgent peanut butter comes out of the blue.
With their outsides so creamy
And the peanut butter so dreamy,
Kisses are so luscious
They are fit for a duchess.
The chocolate exterior
Is not at all inferior
To the peanut butter inside,
All opinions aside.
The figure of a kiss is faultless
The morsel shape certainly was not thoughtless.
You think you can only eat one,
But you continue until the whole bag is done.
A kiss is a treasure chest
Once you open it, the inside is the best.

Saxophone

By Zach, 14

The moment I gazed at it,
it gave me a sparkle in my
eye. It was a blazing sun
on a hot summer day.

The feel was smooth and
cool as my hand ran down
the side of it.

It smelled like a freshly
cut piece of precious metal.
When it was played, it was
like an angel playing it,
so crisp and clear

The taste of the reed and
the mouthpiece gives you
the feeling of being in
control. It gave my senses
the best sensation I've ever
seen, smelled, touched, heard,
or tasted, in my life

It was a brand new sax
staring me dead in the
eye. This beautiful
instrument was calling
me to buy it. I knew
this sax was meant for me.

Summer

By Kevin, 14

Autumn is done, when the leaves are falling
Winter is through, when the snow comes around.
Spring is over, when the birds are calling
And summer comes with a brand new sound.

Th sun shines bright
Through the cotton ball clouds,
The weather is right
And the flowers stand proud.

Kids are playing
Until the day is done,
So now they are waiting
For the next day to come.

Summer, Summer, Summer
like a big slice of pizza you're loved by all
But it makes you wonder,
About the beauty of Fall.

Left With Memories

By Sade', 13

As you walk out the open door,
I scream on my knees,
"Come back, come back to me!"
You turn around,
And see my rugged face and red eyes from the pain and sorrow of you deserting me.

You slowly wave good-bye with your muscular right hand,
Wink your honey- brown eye and say,
"I will return, someday."

As you close the squeaky door behind you,
I slowly rise to my feet and walk into my cozy room.
I reminisce on the the way that we laughed.
Looked at pictures with twinkles in your eyes and smiles worth a million dollars.

I lay on the bed,
With my sweaty face smushed into a cold pillow,
as I cried myself to sleep.
I think of you because you are my everything.
You are like the stem to my rose, the mouse to my computer, and faith in my life.
Without you, I would be NOTHING!

The 5 Senses

By Samicus, 14

I felt scared
as I stared
at this picture
of an odd mixture
of men with masks.

I ate a lot
and they were quite hot
my mouth tingled with delight
because the chips tasted just right.

The band Queen
made a great scene
in my head,
with this great song
that has no wrong.

Warm and fuzzy
is how I felt
when I had this nice blanket.

This water bottle
had a horrible smell.
I was worried I wouldn't live to tell
of this disgusting smell.

Devil eats the pony

By Daniel, 13

The devil eats the pony
frightening to all
not a pretty pony
which is very weak and small
the pony he will burn
in his roaring fires
slowly it will burn
along with sinners and liars
after it is torched
he will take his pitchfork
making sure it's scorched
and eat it off his fork

In the Kitchen

By Janel, 14

The pans are out, The oven's on,
In charge of it all is our mom.
The rice is steamed, The pork is fried,
When the onions are chopped, my mamma cries.
I strip the shrimp and the salad is tossed,
I do as I'm told because Ma's the boss.
The scent of chicken floats around, and
the sputtering of eggrolls make the only sound.
After hours of work, we now can see
that our elaborate is feast is finally ready.

Devilish Waves

By Dominic, 13

Blue swirling waves,
You feel the mist against your cheeks.
They throw you around like a ball.
You wash up against the shore.
You feel the sand on your back,
You're safe.
You are dragged ashore by warm, caring hands.
Now you can rest assured that you'll be cared for.
Better yet, is that you'll survive.
The devilish waves have spared your life.
