Haikus by Luke Halberstadt

Music

Music feeds the soul

Beautiful brass and piano

Woodwinds and high strings.

Commonly Known Mystery

True or false alone,

He crunches his own digits,

Sleeps but not tired.

Terrifying Cats

Blue-green eyes glaring,

Big cats I fear to think of,

But here, O my, LION. 

Football by Bhavik Jain

 

In the fall,

A new sports season starts.

It is fun and entertaining and very exciting

It is fun to watch your favorite team win every game

And it is also sad to watch them loose, but fun to see them,

Try a lot harder in the week that follows, because they know their

Fan are watching their every move and they don’t want to fail

Because if they fail they won’t make it to the playoffs,

And if they don’t make the playoffs it will break

Their and their fans’ hearts and loose

Their trust and support

Love And Expression by Phillip Raphael

In my life I have never loved a girl the way that I love you.          

 I like you more than I like myself oh yes! I do          

Baby, I ‘m crazy for you.                          

 You’re really precious to me oh yes! You do!              

Because I love you like you’re the brain in my head.             

Loves like you are the mattress and I ‘m the bed.             

Like you’re the motor and I’m the car.            

 It looks like I ‘m the sky at night and you’re the shining star.                

This love I don’t know how best I could express.             

You’re the first girl who makes me feel love this way.             

 I don’t know why this feeling I feel for you got bigger  every day.        

  Without you in my life all the happiness in my heart seems so far away  

  When you’re next to it and me I feel my heart is beating say babe please stay! Stay! Stay.

Ode to My Water Bottle

Ode to My Water Bottle
Kimmy Cohen

Ode to my water bottle.

Your purple shell is what I hold,

You help me stay hydrated all of the time,

Your water always stays fresh and cold.

Ode to my water bottle.

I carry you around throughout the day.

You are useful, yet extremely fashionable,

And I would cry if you were ever taken away.

Ode to my water bottle.

When I misplace you, I feel so depressed.

I get scared I have lost you, and you will never be found,

But when I do, I realize I’m blessed.

Ode to my water bottle.

At the gym, my best friend is you.

When my thirst happens to be rising,

You never fail to know exactly what to do.

Ode to my water bottle.

Without your presence, how did I manage?

With you, I am completely a whole,

But without you, I’m at a disadvantage.

I Will Not Give up My Dream

                    I gave you all my love

                    You just kicked them away.

                    I gave you my heart

                    You just threw it away.

                  

                    I tried to be nice to you,

                    You just push me away.

                    Even you reject me,

                    I hope that you will understand me another day.

                  

                    If you are locking for a hot and handsome boy,

                    I know I am not.

                  

                    If you are looking for a rich charming prince

                    Who can give you everything you want,

                    Trust me sweetie I’m not.

                  

                    I’m nothing else than the boy, who’s crazy about you,

                    Who is always caring about you.

                  

                    I will never give up anything,

                    You can do anything

                    Or anything can happen to you

                    I will still love you.

                  

                    Don’t tell me that I’m not your type,

                    Don’t tell me that you get another.

                    You know with you I feel better.

                    I hope that you understand me sooner than later.

                            

                     Every day for you I feel something new.

                    You’re on top of my heart, but you so mean to me, before if I ever knew

                 

If when you get trouble, if I can be the one that can make you feel all right.

If when you’re in the darkness if I can be your shinning light.

If everywhere you go I can be the one that fallow you day and night.

                       Trust me my life will be shinier than sunlight.

American Sweetest Dream

                        You came to me like a sweet dream.

With you I feel happy like a child who drink his favorite flavor of ice cream.

                         When I’m with you I never want to go.

I have feeling for you I hope that you know.

Just your smile makes me feel like I’m in the heaven.

I ‘m ready to stay with you until the end.

When I left you after one second I’m always want to see you again.

When I’m next to you all my mind tell me to stay.

Without you everything about me seems not okay.

My entire mind is in your side. I need you by my side.

I want to be yours, and I want you to be mine.

Trust me honey when you ear me say.

You are my American sweetest dream.

If when you get trouble, if I can be the one that can make you feel all right.

If when you’re in the darkness if I can be your shinning light.

If everywhere you go I can be the one that fallow you day and night.

Trust me my life will be shinier than sunlight.
