My Poem

Whispers

BY Carolina Kim (all of them)

I’m here but you can not see me;

I’m there but you don’t notice

I try to fit in;

but I always end up failing

Whenever I try to help

No one thanks me

Whenever I’m in trouble

No one helps me

I scream and shout;

but it seems as if all they hear is a whisper

Whisper, after whisper is all they hear

Then one day I meet someone new

She talks to me

I talk to her

I help her;

She helps me

We work together

like sisters

But I don’t understand

Why she doesn’t hear my..

whisper

My Life: A Stray Cat

My last owner never had time;

time to give me food

time to give me a drink

time to play

I hoped she would look from her desk

but it never happened;

sometimes she would but it was one

of those days

Then one day she left

and at the same time I left

I didn’t think it would bother her

because she hardly knew my name

To me of course my name was Viridian

the color of green

My eyes began to glow what did it mean

Then when I looked up

I knew I made a mistake

For I had gone way too far away

But when I thought and thought

I had no guilt

for it was her fault that I left

and her fault she didn’t stay

I walked into a dark alleyway

to find a quick snack

but instead I found other hungry cats

I told them my story;

they told me theirs

Then finally Teacup;

the siamese

found a piece of left-over dinner

It looked very dirty as if it was left

500 years ago and was dropped into a mud pit

But I got my share

It didn’t taste too bad

but it didn't match my taste

I guess I should find my owner

But then I had to run away from a chase

The animal control came

to look for strays like me

They ran but finally;

one of them caught me

I tried to escape but something was tight;

something on my neck

I looked and saw the evilest smile

But all I knew is that I should be scared

Then I waited in a cage

Life was still bad

like one of the strays,

Jean was taken;

but never came back

Everyone tries to act calm

But in their head they panic

I give a Meow

and the other cats do too

My guilt came to me I knew it was karma

but when I thought I was a goner

someone new came

She was young as I could tell

She wasn’t the big, scary men

She looked at me with a smile

She looked at me with twinkling eyes;

like the stars in the galaxy

I found out she was the one who saved me

I learned my lesson for these few weeks

Never again will I leave---

unless it was an emergency

Feelings

Everyone has feelings

Feelings of sadness;

like a rainy, cloudy day

Or Feelings of happiness;

like a day of sunshine and a

bright starry night

Whenever someone has a feeling

they keep it within

or pop like a balloon

Either way as you know

people are all different

When you cry;

your feelings are all

sad or dreary

When you laugh;

your feelings are all

happy and joyful

When you go to sleep

your dreams are like your feelings

Feeling are everywhere

Feelings are in everyone

Feelings; Feelings

Are the one thing all people need

whether they are happy or

just sad

So what kind of feelings do you have?
