The Abominable Snowman

A large apelike figure
and a face of a human perhaps
long, thick arms
that reach to its knee caps

It comes to attack villagers
and upright on thick legs it ran
a fact or fiction story
of the Abominable Snowman

Pictures of the Moon

It's a guiding light
a super star
constantly looking
From afar

But when the sun comes up
Where does the moon go?
On its incredible journey
to the other side of the world you know

the reign of the rain

from skies it falls
for many ‘o day
not taking consideration
of "rain, rain, go away"

liquid hits pavement
slowly rises through the town
calculated at a week
before everyone will drown

then sun comes out
to prevent their fate
but everyone was gone
it came a few days late

If the Seasons Changed Every Day

On Monday our flowers bloom
and it drizzles all day long
Tomorrow it will be hot and humid
if the weatherman's not wrong

Wednesday I'll jump in leaves
while the brisk wind blows
Thursday I'll walk around
with boots on as it snows

I wonder if we asked ‘em
if the seasons would allow
but now that I think about it
the seasons aren't bad now

The Buck Hunter

While in the woods the sun pops in the sky
up walks the first deer, he scopes with his eye
It had no antlers, it must be a doe
he is forced to let it go

He sees a buck
he has to duck
behind the stone walls
he shoots, the deer falls

He puts the deer in the back of the truck
Maybe next year the deer will have better luck
again the deer loose another member
on the opening day, the beginning of December

Morning

I turn it off
sit up in the cot
still undecided if
I'm awake or not

I take my first steps
and then a few more
I feel a pain in my forehead
I just walked into a door

Half awake
almost dead
I can't right poems now
I'm going back to bed

-Derrick

The Day of the Rain

It did not go away
it stayed the whole day
Then the lightning flashed
and the thunder crashed

But when I woke up the next day
to my dismay
the rain went away
and the sun was here to stay

-Jeff

The Final Quake

But this one was different
and the buildings started to shake
now the people live in fear
for some knew this was the final quake

The city drifted into the ocean
and it started to go down
the people who had made it this far
had no choice but to drown
