Southwest Junior High poetry entries

Brown hair.

She is in,

The same grade,

As you,

Always looking,

Never talking,

You see her one.

Day,

Never again

Your first love moves,

Before you ask,

a simple question,

You fell in love.

Not many times.

Not just once.

Not just twice,

Love is only one.

Love can’t be Played with,

Like a toy.

Fell in love once.

Nevermore.

Will you love the

Same way!

-Dustin Little, SWJHS


DREAMS

When I’m sad

I try to make myself glad

by putting my dreams

on paper with ink

I dream of ponies riding

though the tall prairie grass

and of hawks flying in a

thunder storm towards the

horizon.

and of me,

going into and out of time.

I dream of crystals,

that glint in the sun.

I dream of the breeze,

blowing the cottowoods in the

forest.

I dream of Terra

With the golden hair, and the

beutiful eyes, those deep, deep

eyes.

In my dream I tell her how

I feel.

But when I don’t dream I can’t

tell her.

I know dreams are not real but

they are the wonders of the

world.

-James Poston, SWJHS
