  1. Struggle
    To write something
    That is so meaningful
    It is hard thinking of something
    Splendid

    Poems
    They’re not my cup
    Of tea when it comes down
    To it, I’m more of a story
    Person

    Ten to
    Go in this thing
    I think I can do it
    They will not be too fantastic
    Let’s go

    Three down
    I’m getting there
    It’s getting easier
    Syllables are almost natural
    To me

    Four down
    Wow that was fast
    I cannot believe it
    Maybe I will be done on time
    Oh yea

    That’s five
    Already done
    I am so excited
    It might be the music I hear
    Must type

    It’s hard
    To have six done
    And not stop at that one
    My fingers must keep typing fast
    Quickly

    Seven
    I am so close
    Six one syllable words
    One of those was three syllables
    Too late

    Eight done
    With ten minutes
    To go in class, I know
    I can do it, ignore the hand
    Cramps, ouch

    This is
    The last on to
    Finish after nine are
    Already complete, I did it
    Thank you

  3. I go
    I feel, I try
    It’s hard to see
    Sometimes how much we have to do
    To live

    The night
    Inches forward.
    I want to keep you
    Here with me, so you can shield me
    From it

    Am I,
    Will I be, wrong
    To take you for myself
    For you inspire me, and make me
    Better

    Seldom
    Do you think that
    You are good enough for me,
    But know that it is I who’s not
    Worthy


    Goodness!
    What have you done?
    Do you realize just how much
    You persuade me? How dare you think
    You can

    Poems
    Can have many
    Odd pauses in between
    Lines, as well as punctuation.
    Oh well.

    Copy
    Steal, plagiarize,
    Do what you will. But how
    Lazy must you be to do such
    A thing

    Reaching
    Down from the sky
    In radiant beams, are
    The rays of your great annoyance.
    Please stop.



    Thank you
    For listening
    I know I can sometimes
    Ramble, but now I know someone
    Likes it.

    Water
    Flows through our veins
    But also in rivers
    And in the sea, so that means we’re
    The same?

  4. Batman
    He is the night
    The savior of Gotham
    The enemy of villainy
    Dark Knight

    Essence
    Everlasting
    The feeling of being
    Abandoned pieces of the soul
    Aura

    Headache
    So hard to write
    So hard to keep focus
    You hate when these are just silly
    Sorry

    Sometimes
    I wonder if
    I accidentally
    Repeat my poems subconsciously
    Whoopsie

    Forget
    What if I can’t
    If I can just forget,
    What are the point of memories?
    Nothing

    Yearning
    Exceeding want
    It’s almost essential
    To the point where it’s required
    Needed

    Sunset
    Colors galore
    Turns red behind the smoke
    Dazzling those that look ‘till the thrill
    Is gone

    Hanging
    Barely able
    To keep my weakened grip
    I think it’s time to let it go
    Bury me

    School is
    Irrelevant
    I don’t learn anything
    All I do Is memorize and
    Forget

    Why wait
    Don’t put it off
    Don’t shy away from it
    When it is inevitable
    Dreaming

      love someone other than yourself

      bow ties are cool
      mad man with a blue box
      protector of everything good
      unknown

      Extreme
      anything cool
      something that is epic
      something that is way outrageous
      this world

      Music
      it fills the world
      it defines the people
      it creates many ideas
      feeling

      Hot sand
      pain and terror
      the desert contains these
      it also contains love and joy
      and bliss

      Bright sun
      heat on my back
      the wind in my brown hair
      my feet running where they want to
      freedom

      Feelings
      they confuse me
      I never understand
      I never know what I should do
      changes

      High school
      really stressful
      tests you for the real life
      puts you through hardships and problems
      builds bonds

      Confused
      what should I do
      how should I really feel
      should I really trust his promise
      feelings

    It will make your life easier

  8. Cinquain I
    For her,
    So distant is
    She; t’ remain in hiding,
    Lost and to be found; unwanted
    Effect.

    Cinquain II
    Splendid;
    Such a visage
    Is her’s to be perceived,
    Through such eyes’ of thee; in searching
    Are they.

    Cinquain III
    Eyes frail
    Under that light,
    Forever calling night
    To come and purge all that is right;
    Hails thee.

    Cinquain IV
    Burning
    Through that fire,
    To purge all desire;
    Yet such fails in all t’ require
    Water.

    Cinquain V
    Righteous
    Is she, her stance
    To stand tall in burdens,
    Heavy upon her shoulders do
    They weigh.

    Cinquain VI
    Burdens
    Do take that toll,
    Yet all that falls to night
    Proves to give quality t’ those who
    Mean right.

    Cinquain VII
    Too young
    Did that master
    Of such rhyme take to die;
    A man who used words in love; all
    Was great.

    Cinquain VIII
    Poetry –
    The sanction of
    Such rhyme to love and speak,
    Be it an ode, be it declared;
    Poetry.

    Cinquain IX
    Prose is
    A vast wave of
    Expression and statement,
    T’ fuel the mind with opinion;
    Knowledge.

    Cinquain X
    To fall,
    In rhyme, reason
    And all; to call in verse,
    To speak united and with thought;
    Such love.

  9. Let’s go
    Let’s go away
    Let’s get away from here
    Let’s go together, forever
    Just us.

    Take it
    Take it all, please
    Can’t take this anymore
    I need you to take it away
    Right now

    Guilty
    My mind is full
    I’m overwhelmed by it
    Something I did not even do
    Kills me

    I’m done
    Done believing
    I’m over trusting you
    All that you give to me are lies
    Hate it

    Rewind
    Please let it pause
    Life is too quick for me
    The worst part is that it will end
    Stop it

    Over it
    Over this sad day
    I need a happy day
    A happy day to erase it
    Away

    Hopeless
    I have lost it
    Hope in you is now lost
    You will never, ever change your
    Bad ways

    Let go
    It only shakes you
    It only does you harm
    It harms your mind, it harms your soul.
    Let go

    Trust me
    Never mind, don’t
    I let myself down too
    So you can’t trust me with your own
    Your heart

    Your love
    Give it to me
    Your love is all I need
    It is all I’ve ever dreamed of
    It’s you

  10. Why must
    We ponder the
    Meaning of a slab of
    Lettuce? Well, that’s humanity
    For you.

    Pick out
    A gift that says,
    “I’m sorry for crashing
    Your new car into the living
    Room.” Mom.

    Kwanza
    Is as much a
    Holiday as Yearly
    Tax Revenue Day. “Give it a
    Name.” Ha!

    Beware
    Where the words stop
    For if you read for too
    Long, the pages will become blank—
    Empty.

    Cinquains
    Are to dogs what
    Dog treats are to people.
    But people aren’t inclined to eat
    Dog treats.

    Decades
    Pass like the wind
    Sweeps over the mountains,
    Picking up leaves, depositing
    Them here.

    A word
    Is but a sound
    That can be spoken both in
    The mind and aloud for the world
    To hear.

    To go
    About frying
    Slices of chicken, one
    Must know what chicken is in the
    First place.

    Tumble
    Or soar, leap or
    Cringe, prepare or wing it?
    When both are so drastic, how does
    One know?

    Reading
    Is a grander
    Gesture than acting, in
    Some scenarios. Reading fuels
    The mind.

    No sleep
    Insomnia
    At night I think a lot
    My mind gets overwhelmed with thought
    Thinking

    The trees
    Tall and green leafs
    Animals live in there
    Gives out oxygen to survive
    Im bored

  12. We laugh
    We do all day
    Laugh until our ribs get sore
    But that will never be enough
    It’ll due

    Hold back
    Do not do that
    However you still do
    No matter how much that I say don’t
    Let go

    Jealous
    That’s what we are
    No reason not to be
    Just go and take a look at her
    You’ll see

    Just smile
    It’s much easier
    There’s many reasons to
    Just let go of every burden
    Do it

    Love you
    That’s what he says
    I do not trust those words
    I wish they could be genuine
    Never

    Don’t know
    I will never
    Come enlighten me
    Just shower me with your wisdom
    I need

    Away
    Just stay away
    I can’t have you come near
    All you do is bring me deep down
    Don’t come


    These walls
    Have more to them
    They come with memories
    Thinking about them brings me chills
    Can’t look
    Miles
    You feel that far
    But you are just right here
    You stand tall right in front of me
    Reach out

    Come here
    I know you won’t
    It’s all wishful thinking
    I believe that one day you will
    Just come

  13. Running
    Always running
    From my fears of the past
    I’m so afraid of repeating
    Mistakes

    In love
    It feels so good
    To finally say it
    And to have it out in the open
    Freeing

    Clinging
    Clinging to you
    Afraid of moving on
    Can’t imagine me without you
    I’m stuck

    Afraid
    A fear of what?
    A fear of what’s to come
    Of moving onto unknowing
    Afraid


    Free will
    A gift and curse
    Real but somehow unreal
    Put on a leash and kept at bay
    Fake will

    Drama
    I better pass
    I need to get a B
    Really though, I better get it
    Hoping

    The past
    A better time
    Wishing I could go back
    But I would never change a thing
    Flashback

    Over
    I’m over it
    But am I really though?
    If so, I’d have forgotten it
    Hung up

  14. Many
    Way too many
    Of the children are lost
    In thoughts and overwhelming dreams
    Too young

    Maybe
    This assignment
    Is unnecessary
    Because ten is way too many
    Useless

    Sleepy
    Very slowly
    My eyes begin to close
    Unwillingly they fall quickly
    Asleep

    Boredom
    Very often
    Consuming most of us
    Wasting away our precious time
    For nil

    Only
    Six more minutes
    To go in class today
    It went so fast yet very slow
    Not new

    Is there
    Is there any
    Is there any hope that
    Is there any hope to finish
    For me

    Today
    There is no hope
    It is far too late now
    Now, with only three minutes left
    Now two

    Help me
    Help me conquer
    Conquer my biggest fear
    My biggest fear is losing you
    I lost

    I lost
    All of my hope
    The hope I had in you
    You gave me so much to live for
    It left

    Good bye
    I’ll get better
    I will learn to move on
    I love you but I don’t need you
    So long

  15. I am
    Never going
    To get all of this stuff
    Done by the end of today’s class
    No way

    Jay is
    Working very
    With his creative mind
    Can work in mysterious ways
    Mario

    Texas
    High school football
    Is so intense and fierce
    Enormous stadiums and fans
    Insane

    Sitting
    Being lazy
    Cannot get my work done
    Troubled and bored with my homework
    Blank mind

    Jordan
    Greatest of all
    Nobody could stop him
    Dunking from the foul line all day

  16. 1. Sitting
    at a desk for
    seven hours makes the mind
    tired and weak, but we continue
    to work

    2. Never
    giving up on
    on something we work hard
    no matter how hard it is we
    proceed

    3. Worn out
    and I’m slowly
    losing my energy
    needing more sleep to keep moving
    forward

    4. Thinking
    too much about
    things keeps my mind going
    nonstop and it keeps me awake
    for hours

    5. Love and
    happiness keeps
    keeps me smiling through the
    bad times and pain, and it completes
    my life

    6. Music
    helps me get through
    the day and keeps my mind
    focused on what my mind needs to

    7. Pictures
    save memories
    that our mind and heart want
    to forget but helps us think of
    old times

    8. Love is
    a meaningful
    thing that should be said when
    felt and hold its meaning to the
    fullest

    9. Music
    is better loud
    the bass, the drum, and the
    guitar, the lyrics all hold a
    meaning

    10. The stars
    shine brightly in
    the dark night sky and the
    moon lights up the ground like the sun
    shinning

  17. Headache
    I hate spanish
    It makes me want to cry
    Really need to pass the class
    So sad

    I need
    Need a big hug
    I need some nutella
    It is really hot in here
    Writing

    Wonder
    What does he think?
    Wonder about the world
    I wonder about the future
    Wonder

    Falling
    No gravity
    They try to hold on
    Falling through a dark abyss
    Tragic

    Golden
    Golden leaves dance
    They shimmer in the sun
    Dancing with the mischievous wind
    Lovely

    Heroes
    They fight bravely
    There are different types
    But not all of them have powers
    Fearless

    I have
    No idea
    As to what I should write
    I am having a writers block
    No fun


    I’m on
    Number eight
    I only have two more
    Yay I can do this, so happy
    So close

    My friends
    They are crazy
    But I am crazy too
    We have a good time together
    Love them

    Last one
    I just want to
    Lay down and go to sleep
    I am happy that it is friday
    Weekend

  18. Future
    What do you hold?
    Joy and prosperity?
    Maybe some hardships and struggles?
    Success?

    Fire
    Ignites within
    Whenever you’re around,
    Unable to be extinguished.
    Intense.

    Tonight
    Should be special
    And unforgettable,
    Exceptional, sensational.
    Surreal.

    Always
    Remember me.
    Never forget, reminisce.
    Do not let go of our past.
    Ponder.

    Music
    Is an escape,
    A splendid getaway,
    Such a magnificent resort.
    Relax.

    Laughter
    Heard everywhere
    Coming from everyone
    It is such a magical sound
    Joyous

    Puppy
    Cute and playful
    Cheers me up on bad days
    Such enjoyable company
    Spoiled

    Uggs boots
    So basic but
    Very comfortable
    I have wanted sparkly ones for
    Too long

    But why
    Is it that I
    Always seem to forget
    To finish and post all these prompts
    On time?

    Cinquains
    These seems to get
    Worse with each one I write
    Poems are only fun at first
    Bored now

  19. Hope is
    One idea
    Hopefully never lost
    Because it is the last thing left
    And lost

    Penny
    A worthless coin
    To many but not all
    Because remember they add up
    Fortune

    Movies
    Something we did
    As well as the others
    So tell me what made it special
    Us two

    You cared
    Just like I did
    But you would hide behind
    Blank stares and many empty words
    Broken

    Halfway
    We will approach
    Without any disguise
    We are not afraid like they are
    Be strong

    Almost
    Is not enough
    You have to try harder
    To be successful by yourself
    Don’t fail

    Tonight
    And at day break
    Nothing will stay the same
    Yet nothing can easily change
    Explain

    Water
    Aquafina
    Is my very favorite
    It is purified and tasty
    Perfect

    Tired
    Of this routine
    Yet so afraid of change
    Is there a happy medium
    For me?

    This cold
    Is killing me
    I am not made for this
    Take me to a sunny island
    Quickly
