Dedication Poem- dedicated to Divya

She is always passionate, brave and bold,

her heart is coated with silver and gold.

Her mind is as sharp as a tack,

when you have a problem, she knows the answer just like that.

She is always protective,

and has the brains of a thinking detective.

My bond with her will last forever.

I will never let go of her,

never, ever, ever.

Step Up To The Plate

He steps up to the plate with his prepared hands,

shuffles his feet in the dirt, which feels like soft, silky sand,

straight and tall, his back not crooked, he stands.

His hands rippling with sweat, he looks up at the sky,

the pitcher throws the ball fast towards his eyes,

lets out an enormous swing and then hits a home run, he sighs.

The Best Part of Me- inspired by Wendy Ewald

The best part of me is my mouth,

my announcing, ovalish-round mouth.

I love to babble, babble, babble,

the words begging to come out of it.

If it was shut tight, tight, tightly,

I wouldn't be able to speak the melodious sentences.

The smiles it shows glows.

It is never a frown or a foe.

The best and always best part of me will be my mouth.

Love That Can- inspired by Walter Dean Myers

Love that can,

like a fish loves to swim.

I said love that can,

like a fish loves to swim.

Love to open its silver lid,

love to open it,

seeing the inside looking juicy and crisp.

What Am I?- inspired by Thomas Locker

I'm a big, round glowing light in the sky,

storms do come when I come,

you can't see, smell, or hear me,

my colors reflect and dance across the land.

I am the rainbow.

The Taffy- inspired by William Carlos Willams

So much depends upon,

the stretchy, gooey, taffy,

being torn into particles,

my throat feeling sour.
