Imagery poem

Football
Run, jump, catch and roll to make seven is my goal.
If they don't sack the quaterback when he throw it
I will catch it. When I play another team to be a winner
is my dream, so when I play football I give everything to
make my goal.

Where I'm from

I'm from the time crying was exceptable
from the 2 dark brown eyes that grew through out My life
I'm from the routes of my two parents that still grows
From the river that passes Manhattan

I'm from thirteen years old in I.S204
From hot chocolate on cold winter mornings
I'm from the homemade white ice creamon Thank's Giving Day

I am from that Christianity that still live through out churches
I'm from that North Carolina trips me and my family took every summer
I am from the memories of playing basketball in Astoria Queens
I'm from the time drawing was cool and coloring was too

Im from the time of Xbox 360 and Play Station 1, 2 and 3
I am from the time when bugs bunny was funny
from the nick, nack patty whack give a dog a bone

From the Hip Hop and R&B that still tight till this day
I'm from the timeof taking graduation pictures
I am from the time my father and mother showed me videos of when i was little

Im from the timeof president Obama's enogoration
I'm from the time sesame street was cool + funny
I'm from the time saying I don't want to go to school

I'm from the black history month projects
From the Adams Family
When I look at my family I know I'm the root that helps my family grow

The Edge Is Where I Want To Be

The authors view point in "The Edge Is Where I Want To Be" is that he saying that life should have it's ups and downs and that people should be living on top of the edge and not over because if you go over the edge life will be hard for you because in the story it says "The edge is the cliff you've dangled from in a hundred nightmares, you never know whats over the edge"and to me nightmares are bad. In the poem it also states that "The edge holds the answers to your questions"
and that is a good thing because if you stuck trying to figure something out something will inspire you.

object poem for baskteball

I don't like being bounced or being
shot so can't you use something
else you've got

jump up, jump down move
all around, now can't you see
i have a frown

getting dizzy can't
you see all this bouncing
hypnotizes me.

ouch now take a brake
