Brooke's+poems

=My super uber totally awesome fo-shizzle poems. :D= The sun reflects off the glistening waves Not going to the bottom, staying on the surface It doesn't go to the octopie caves It shines on the boats, landing on the docks Sails blowing in the salty sea air And off the shiny bows, just cleaned The sun reflects and casts a glare A sailboat is on a lake, far away These winds are not of the sea But cool and shaded by the trees And birds flying high and free -- The moon glistens off the cold ocean waves Shining with each rolling wave to the shore Where the sand is dyed blue-purple by the night sky And an old pier to the side, abandoned long ago With its rotting wood that used to be so majestic washing up onto the blue-purple sandy shore -- Fish swimming around in the reef in the sea Gliding, darting, fish that would be A marvel of the ocean if they came out For the rest to see, without a doubt And the striped orange fish that live in the stingy plant, very unattentive of the world outside, because they Are protected by their own home -- Waves............................................ Waves ........................................................Lapping onto the shore Glinting, shining, reflecting ........... Glinting, shining, reflecting With a cap .......................................................Of yellow or white Depending on ........................................................If it's day or night Fish .............................................Fish Darting In and out ...................................................Of the coral that some call home Swimming, darting,floating.............Swimming, darting, floating Like stars, with the sun reflecting ....................................................Off their shiny scales In the shallow reefs of the sea -- On a stormy night, across the sea ThE wAVeS Are UnPredICTabLe, ThEy CraSH ANd sMAsh uP tO THe SHorE WaShiNG up SeASheLLS On thE BANks ERodInG THe saND awAy AT ThE WAterS eDgE CrAsH! AnD SMAsh! SPlasH! ANd CLaSh! Hush! And shush! after a long stormy night, the sun comes up Hushing those splashing, lapping waves, Parting the clouds and making the washed-up shells Glisten and twinkle and dance while the mouth of the sea Swallowed them up again after the long, stormy night. -- Sailboat riders on The beautiful lake, taking Lessons on boating -- The water is always cold, Never shallow, the docks Filled with wandering spiders Only four people on the water hammock! No swimming outside the ropes! You have to swim with a buddy! But.... I love it anyway. You look down, The water is shining green from below Water striders taking naps on the calm Water, Having fun on the water hammock When it's your turn, racing in the lanes, Trying to find warm spots with your friends, Your best buds can make anything fun Even though it's fun no matter what. -- We get into the buses, exited for Our short trip to sea. We gather in the boat, sitting down Listening for when the boat Will leave the docks For us to look over the edge at the waves In the middle of the second trip, It starts getting misty We can't see where we are, and some Kids are kind of nervous. Suddenly the wind comes up Sweeping away the fog! But suddenly... The wind is too strong! Filled with the scent Of salt, windy and strong... We walk over to the edge when the wind Sweeps Nora's hat right off her head! We all look back, and suddenly I see it! A black speck on the green shining surface We turn back but it's too late It's gone, already to the bottom of the ocean But Nora's not upset. She laughs along with the everyone else, and when We get onto the buses, all in high spirits And wonder what adventures will come The next day. -- The lake Is the best I swim in It whenever I get the Chance to It's cold It's calm The water Trampoline Is the best Place ever, We jump We slide We blob We run from One end to The other, Jumping off And racing Back. -- home Brooke
