  1. Here comes a man ten foot tall
    His torso as thin as a stick
    He is known throughout the land for his kindness
    As well as his caring nature for every single living person
    He cares not for violence and dislikes every conflict in the world
    None are justified in his eyes
    He despises the killing of animals
    He cares not for their taste and would prefer fresh fruits of the earth
    This is Robert Wikander
    Or is it?

    1. You should add the line, "I am a man who does not have strong opinions."

  2. Lie Poem
    Am I lying or telling the truth
    I’m short and ugly
    My name is Alex
    I like to play basketball
    My favorite color is red
    I have blue eyes
    I like to be lonely
    I’m the kind of guy who would not like to be loved
    Now tell me who am I?
    Am I lying or telling the truth.

  3. One day I was sitting at the top of Kingda Ka.
    I had a lot to think about because I just lost my job as the CEO of Pepsi.
    I lost my job because I couldn’t read anything correctly because I have dyslexia.
    When I lost my job I had to sell my car for some money,
    But I just sold it before I rode the roller coaster.
    The car got stuck up at the top and I have been waiting for it to start moving again.
    They are sending someone up the roller coaster to get it started again.
    Then I remembered back to when I went to college at Yale University.
    I remember when I got my first job interview at Krispy Kreme Donuts,
    And it made me realize how far I had come.

  4. I am a man.
    My long luscious ginger hair falls on my broad shoulders
    I have the strength of a tiger and the fierceness of a lion
    I am a liger
    My booming voice can silence a room
    That is only when people are not memorized by my stunning good looks
    I have the tendency to burn cookies
    And I have terrible taste in music
    I love to go partying every night of my life
    I can afford this lifestyle because I struck gold in my backyard.

  5. I was standing in the rain telling him to go away.

    I told him I didn’t love him.

    He looked at me with despair, but I didn’t care.

    I told him that everything that happened was a mistake.

    He didn’t believe me and said he still has hope.

    Oh, but what a poor choice to make.

    I’m heartless and cold,

    There’s nothing for him to hold onto anymore.

    I knew I was happy with the decision I made,

    I knew that now I wasn’t afraid.

    1. Wow, this is really good. It gains a specific intensity from being polarized like this.

  6. I'm a prancing lion, galloping through the trees,
    I pick flowers and throw them at bees,
    They shout and thank me for the nectar feast,
    People lie, I know, for some call me beast,
    I can change forms and become a superhero,
    With the power of flight I am hardly a zero,
    I swoop through my home in the trees,
    And fight the enemies with keys,
    Then I turn back to my beautiful, purple lion state,
    And wait for my dinner to come on a crystal plate

  7. I’m always in a bad mood
    There is no way you can talk to me without me giving an attitude
    All I think about is going home and wanting to stay in my room
    There is no such word as happiness for me
    And that disgusting thing that people call laugh
    I despise it
    What’s the point?
    It’s just an excuse to be loud and irritating
    All they want is for people to ask them why they are laughing
    In other words they want attention
    They can go in front of the mirror and give themselves attention if they want it that bad
    Just put a frown on your face and go through life
    It’s better than having all those “wonderful” feelings
    No please leave for I’m done here

  8. I once punched my friend in the face when they disagreed with me
    My favorite singer is Nicki Minaj
    I walk around town in my underwear
    I love the word “panties”
    I despise my cat on so many levels
    I once flew to the moon (those are my footprints on the moon)
    I killed Abraham Lincoln with a hammer
    I am a very short person
    I don’t sing in the shower
    I can hold my breath for 5 minutes

  9. A busy body that is never sitting down
    Someone who stays inside of the box
    Always following the rules, but heartless on the inside
    Consideration for others is something that will never cross my mind
    A cowering soul that would rather cry about an issue than solve it
    Snobby self-centered and my only goal is to fit in
    To be a part of the in crowd no matter what it takes
    If it means piling on the make-up and understanding the newest trends then that’s me
    I’d rather live in the moment than think of my future
    Who cares if I graduate? All that matters right now is if I have a million friends
    Being anything important in life is just boring

  10. I like fish a lot
    I would definitely move to Honduras
    There’s no other place in the world I would rather be
    I love when people touch me face as well
    When my mom goes shopping and takes forever is the best
    When people talk about me it touches my heart so much too
    When I see people in pain I just laugh at them and don’t even help
    It felt so good when I sprained my ankle
    I love it when people try to talk to me when I’m mad too
    I just like everyone in the world

  11. My name is not Erin Marquis.
    I hate to write,
    And I love math.
    I would consider myself a die-hard Puritan
    No fun ever.
    Reading is for squares.
    I almost never watch movies or t.v.
    What’s the point?
    It’s so boring.
    I really love this poem.

  12. I live with many regrets
    My past is what I wish I never forget
    I wish my life would just begin to fade
    I got too much even a maid
    I sit around and just eat all day
    I dropped out of school
    I was such a tool
    Back then I fell for this girl
    I was a fool
    This makes no sense
    But it sounds cool.

  13. Sailing across the seven seas,
    I am the mighty captain of Ship Mcfees,
    Traveling from land to land brings me thrills,
    I tumble over rolling hills,
    Maybe I love standing above,
    Not after the hawk graze me bald,
    I lost my interest and my love,
    I hope sometimes I do get called,
    I return home and the children cried
    Asking for his mommy, and my bride.

  14. I live by myself
    Because I am an elf
    I love when people make fun of my height
    It makes me laugh and happy at night
    Their jokes are so hilarious
    One day they will be famous
    That’s how funny they are
    Probably one day they won’t get hit with a jar
    They might make it to Hollywood
    I hope they do good.

  15. I’m always in a good mood in the mornings
    I am always playing a sport
    I enjoy everyone’s appearance
    My brothers and I have the best relationship
    My mother and I are always having problems
    I trust everyone that I know
    I have no problems with anyone
    My family doesn’t drive me crazy
    I don’t like to go out
    I don’t watch movies a lot

  16. I have thin blond hair and green eyes
    and I never ever told a lie
    I was born in England near Liverpool
    and I do my best and try to keep cool
    Makeup is very important to me
    because my greatest obsession is to look very pretty
    my house is old and haunted by ghosts,
    but I talk to the evil one the most
    I really love danger cause I’m bored with life
    and when I was little I’d play with a knife
    I think music and singing is so overrated
    and I don’t listen to songs that are out-dated
    Today when I return from school
    I’ll take a dip in my neighbors’ pool
    I’ve done that many times before
    but when I see the neighbors coming they will live no more

  17. Being a man can be hard at times
    But I just have to keep moving forward.
    Knowing that my parents left can be hard at times,
    But I just have to keep moving forward.
    Days like this make me wonder why did they just left
    Was it my fault ?
    I ran around looking for them that day,
    I was just a kid.
    The pain runs deep and tears me into pieces
    I just want them back

  18. I am as towering and tall as the rest
    Mathematics is what I do best
    But my immaculate skills are what make me stressed
    I especially enjoy taking many tests
    They make me feel enthusiastic, eager, and blessed
    However, going to the beach makes me depressed
    I despise the frolicking in the waves and relaxing in the sun
    I detest the tranquil and soothing time to myself as I run
    I particularly appreciate being shunned
    By my friends and family for what I have done

  19. “Okay, so the whole reason I’m here is to get you to join this group of people that are trying to overthrow this whole kingdom. To do that, I’d have to get you to willingly join up with me and forget all about who you actually are, including getting rid of everyone you know in this life.”
    Tristain felt a bead of sweat fall off of his face.
    “What do you mean..?”
    “Well you know your…uh…what’s that damned thing called…oh! Your family? Yeah…I told my buddies that you already accepted our invitation…so your family’s probably dead right about now.”
    Tristain glared at the man and shouted, spit flying with his enraged words.
    “You WHAT?!”
    “See? What’d I tell you? Now I look like the bad guy.”
    “No shit! You killed my family!”
    “Hey! I didn’t do anything! It was the others! And who knows, maybe they’re still alive!”
    The man had to choke out those last words through maniacal laughter. Tristain had to clench every muscle in his body to stop himself from trying to kill the guy. Resisting as much as he could, he couldn’t help himself from taking a few steps forward.
    “Why are you laughing?”
    “Ohh god, I’m sorry, that was the biggest lie ever! Don’t get your hopes up, they’re definitely dead.”
    Tristain yelled at the top of his lungs and flew at the man. He swung hard, his fist meeting the cheek of the man’s mask. He flew backwards and slammed against the wooden floor, a crack now going up the side of his mask. The man scrambled to his feet and tried to draw his sword, but Tristain was already on top of him. He grabbed the man’s collar and beat the man’s face for what felt like forever.
    For a while the man went limp, but Tristain didn’t care. His fists were covered in cuts and blood from punching and breaking the man’s hard porcelain mask. Tristain wound up, ready to finish the man, when he reached up and quickly stabbed with his sword.
    Tristain panicked and jumped to his feet. He felt what he knew was blood flowing down the side of his neck. He covered the wound with his hand and looked towards the man as he made his way to his feet. The man faced the wall as he adjusted his mask, then turned towards Tristain.
    Tristain smirked a bit when he saw the man’s bruised jaw and mouth. He had beaten him so badly, the whole part of the mask below the nose had fallen to broken shards, revealing near snow colored skin and lips nearly as pale.

  20. My life is pretty good
    I am a very tall man
    I have long white hair down to my shoulders
    I was born in an elegant upper class neighborhood
    I used to work at an Orange Julius
    I use a hot dog cart as a means of transportation
    I majored in mathematics at college
    I treat everyone with respect and I don’t hate anyone
    I hate every kind of animal there is
    And I am a very religious person

  21. I’m very ugly,
    I don’t get all of the ladies,

    I beat everyone up,
    I don’t wrestle,
    I’m not enlisted in the marines,
    I don’t have 2 brothers,
    My parents died in a plane crash,
    Tyler’s my friend

  22. I am the scum of the Earth
    That deserves the worst of punishments
    I hate running
    Especially without a shirt on
    I always feel ugly
    Yet also a giant among small men
    I am never stressed about school
    And love to work at my amazing job instead of doing other things
    I even hate the money; it’s just fun for me
    I am not done with this poem

  24. My long, blond hair cascades
    Down my shoulders
    As I try to finish this writing assignment
    I couldn’t get over how much I hated writing
    Nearly looking at the computer screen gave me a headache
    Because I was so short
    I had place a stack of books on my chair to reach the keyboard
    Nonetheless, I felt very alert—for I’m never tired
    As I grew angry, trying to assemble my words in a poem
    Slowly typing each word, letter by letter

  25. I am your supreme ruler
    You must all bow down to me at the end of every single hour
    And you must bring me some soda in a cooler
    I live in my mighty tower
    This next message is to all the jewelers
    You must bring me the one ring of power
    I don’t care how you make it
    Just get me one or I will have all your heads
    I can smite you since I am like a god
    And you are all my subjects

  26. My name is Kevin
    And I grew up in Plainfield.
    My favorite color is teal
    And I love hamburgers
    I love to write things like this,
    That are bland and unimaginative
    This poem rhymes
    Very much well.
    I always tell the truth,
    But this sentence is a lie.

  27. My confidence in dangerous
    Nobody can shoot me down
    I drown my mistakes with my optimism
    All will be okay
    The mornings are the best of the day
    I feel anticipation when I wake
    Never underestimate my love for school
    From it I wish to never go away.
    I live a boring life
    So dull, so boring, so uneventful
    Please, I’m begging, fill my schedule more.

  28. I am girl of many qualities
    Enjoy the company of ignorant people
    I’d rather be angry than content
    I have very high standards
    I trust everyone
    I love people
    I tend to never throw caution to the wind
    I’m pretty short for my age
    I never value life
    I don’t appreciate the little things

  30. Wearing dresses and jewels that gleam
    I am the girl of every man’s dream
    Always on top of all current talk
    I am the girl who knows how to walk
    Scorning those who have no style
    I’m so rich that I own an isle
    If that wasn’t enough, my artistic skills are flawless
    My paintings shine like polish
    I’m sorry to say but I must say my goodbyes
    But can you tell the truth from these lies?
