Ms. Toledo's eZines

I am like fog
I only show what I want you to see
I am like night
You can never see the real me
THATS WHO I AM
I am like the drums
Loud but quiet at the same time
I am like a crow
When i speak it's clear and fine
THATS WHO I AM
I am like a bike
You have to pedal to earn my trust
I am like a cheetah
Following myself leaving everyone else in my dust
THATS WHO I AM
I am like Wargrave
I think before I act
I am like a hunter
Waiting to attack
THATS WHO I AM
I am like spring
New and Young
I am like the air
I fill up all your lungs
THATS WHO I AM
I am blue
I'm so sad inside
I am Texas
Stretched across the country and wide
THATS WHO I AM
You get what you see
THATS ME!!!!!!

New Years

Looking up 5, 4

Waiting for the ball to fall

3, 2, 1 New Year!!

Taxis

Yellow, black, and white

Going 90 through the streets

Fast moving Taxis

Up, Up, Up

Up, Up, Up in the sky

Listening to the wind

Asking how high?

Watching the sun go

Up, Up, Up

Now not as low

I was interested in the ground

Looking for Chicago

1 hour later then I found

I was there

Down from the air

I can’t wait until I go back

Up, Up, Up

I better go pack

Where it hides?

When were doing things we like

Drawing, or riding a bike

Sometimes people try to crush you

About your future and what you want to do

Other times you catch yourself all up in a net

With things that are stupid or you regret

Poems come from things like this

Like memories of joy or people you miss

The world is beautiful in many ways

Animals, plants, and sunny days

Lots of things make it a mysterious place

Everyday you see a new street or face

Poetry in the dark here

Just light a match it’s very near

Look around at the earth

It’s death and dying, not close to birth

Is poetry inside this door?

Look deep, deep into the core  

Poetry hides everywhere

Look harder and it will be clear!
