More blogies

we sit in our class
we are waiting for the man
we are learning now

how can we learn when
our thoughts may be misgiven
what if they are wrong?

what if the sky is
blue and the grass is purple
and men have four legs?

so now i wish i
were playing videogames
why am i in school?

Play Poems

The class play is over
we went for ben and jerrys
where was everyone?

we learned all our parts and lines
but now we forget

badly because i forgot
a lot of my lines

more haikus

the queen of the school
makes our new lunch go backwards
we are very mad


there are idiots
who have no iPod desire
why are they so weird?

ice age poem

An ice age is a time

That is really divine

But how can we know

Through all of this snow?

I think I can see

The snow falling on me

But it's falling so thick

Last week it buried Mick

Our crops have all died off

Because of the 40-foot heaps

And you never know

If it's here for keeps.

One person is screaming

"Its the end of the world!"

But how can we hear him,

The snow's such a whirl

Last week it did halt

That’s when we got out the salt

And the children did play

In what looked like big white heaps of hay

But then it started up again

On one cold summer day

The snow was calling out to me

I wanted to go out and play

So I wandered out side

And that's when I knew

This wasn’t just something

Just something that blew

For there was a glacier

All pretty and nice

But that’s when I knew

When I saw that chunk of ice

It was huge and white

Sparkling prettily and white

Through the glare of the snow

Cause that’s when I did know.

An ice age had come

We were all going to die

Or do I sound too much

Like that one little guy

That’s when I decided

To meat the best of the end

So I went skiing

On the glacier's west end

As soon as I got home

I turned on the TV

And it did say that

The glacier had been named Stevie

It also informed me

That were all gonna die

And I was sitting there

Thinking "he sounds like that guy"

So we all just sat there

For the next couple years

Saying "will this never end?"

Through our many, frozen tears.

So then I got it in me

To try to open up

My shop was freezing

But it had to work

So I dug a tunnel

Soon they were big enough for cars

It was an underground society

Protected from the stars

So I spent my life there

In those big tunnels, yes

And when I thought it would end soon

Well, that was just a stupid guess

So then we survived it

And after 600 years

I look down at the earth

And I cry frozen tears

My Comp Poem

i bought a computer
right from the store
i think it's pretty new
'cause it cost me a lot more

than the other ones,
with intel inside,
with shiny guns
with ocean tide.

but my new computer
really hits it smack
i bought it new
out of that grubby shack.

some guy (he wouldn't show his face)
told me that this is a computer to race
it has 128 of ram (or so he said)
i could even let it run while i made my bed

he also said it had intel 1
i know i got the bestest now
cause i dont want no stinkin' four
he said that runs just like a cow

when i got home, and opened the box,
i thought it smelled like mouldy rocks,
it was cool, like avoiding getting bit,
and i knew it was new, cus it had a sticker on it.

it only took an hour to boot up
and it only took anoher to actually login
but now i'll go brag to my nerdy friends
cuz' in the world of computers, i win.

My Haikus

tea is a good drink
it comes from leaves in water
why do we drink it?

------------------

in the play we have
i must today wear a dress
today really sucks

----------------

dungeons and dragons
is a really cool game
it is on a board

---------------

i have a big stick
i am hitting you with it
now you are out cold

----------------

binary clocks are
hard to read, but they tell the
time accurately

My Videogame Haiku

computers think
but not as well as you might.
always losing at

games like tekken 4,
and games like baldur's gate, too.
why are they losing?

is it for because
they are made to lose that way.
that's why it's so fun.

Cat Haikus from some other guy

The food in my bowl
Is old, and more to the point
Contains no tuna.
>>
So you want to play.
Will I claw at dancing string?
Your ankle's closer.
>>
There's no dignity
In being sick -- which is why
I don't tell you where.
>>
Seeking solitude
I am locked in the closet.
For once I need you.
>>
Tiny can, dumped in
Plastic bowl. Presentation,
One star; service: none.
>>
Am I in your way?
You seem to have it backwards:
This pillow's taken.
>>
Your mouth is moving;
Up and down, emitting noise.
I've lost interest.
>>
The dog wags his tail,
Seeking approval. See mine?
Different message.
>>
My brain: walnut-sized.
Yours: largest among primates.
Yet, who leaves for work?
>>
Most problems can be
Ignored. The more difficult
Ones can be slept through.
>>
My affection is conditional.
Don't stand up,
It's your lap I love.
>>
Cats can't steal the breath
Of children. But if my tail's
Pulled again, I'll learn.
>>
I don't mind being
Teased, any more than you mind
A skin graft or two.
>>
So you call this thing
Your "cat carrier." I call
These my "blades of death."
>>
Toy mice, dancing yarn
Meowing sounds. I'm convinced:
You're an idiot.
