Poetry

I've been meaning to post these for some time (they are last year's work), so I have a copy of them for my blog book

Cool

Funny, friendly

They can pinch hard.

Hermit crabs

A Color Poem

Orange is the sunset

slowly taking the day away.

Orange are the flames in my head

when I get really angry.

And, a candle light is orange, too.

Green is the grass

so bright in the spring.

Green is an iguana

slowly moving in its cage.

And, a fresh pickle is green, too.

Blue is a forget-me-not

growing in a beautiful garden.

Blue is sad

when someone gets put-down.

And, my eyes are blue, too.

by Elise Bryan

Auto-bio Poem

Elise

Weird, smart, confusing, and kind.

Daughter of Tracey and Bradley Bryan

Lover of my family

Who feels excited, happy and unsure

Who finds happiness in reading books,

twilight, day-dreams and rides

Who needs a book nearby at all times,

friends and weekends

Who gives attention to my dog, love to my

family and respect to people

Who fears the high dive, getting in trouble,

and sad times

Who would like to see Robert Patterson,

Kristen Stuart and Hawaii

Who enjoys reading, nice weather and

playing with my Peeps

Who likes to wear the color blue, capris and

jeans

Resident on Aberdeen Drive in Bend

I Am...

I am Elise

I wonder why the sky is blue.

I hear birds chirping in my yard.

I see people riding bikes when it's warm outside

I want to be a teacher when I grow up.

I am Elise

I imagine that the "Twilight" series is real.

I feel happy right now.

I touch my pencil and write.

I worry about the soldiers in Iraq.

I cry every time I see

"Where the Red Fern Grows."

I am Elise.

I understand that lying is very wrong.

I sometimes say things I don't mean.

I dream about "Twilight."

I try to be better every day.

I hope someday that I can

have a perfect day.

I am Elise.

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs

Short dogs,

Longer dogs,

Happy funny, friendly dogs.

Lonely, worried, sad dogs.

Those are just a few.

Shy dogs,

Bored dogs,

Black, white, furry dogs.

Fuzzy dogs, too.

Big dogs,

Small dogs,

Muddy dogs.

Don't forget cuddly dogs.

Last of all, best of all.

I like puppy dogs.

I Used To...

I used to say, "hostipal"

but now I says, "hospital."

I used to think that Halloween was a day

off school, but now I know it isn't.

I used to have a lot of fun with my big

sister, but now she ignores me

most of the time.

I used to think reading wasn't fun,

but now I love it!

I used to think that the rain just dropped

magically, but now I know

about the water cycle.

The Ultimate Monster

I am the Crazy Monster.

My hair are patches.

My ears are wooden toy cars.

I am the Crazy Monster.

My nose is a tomato.

My cheeks are two huge pieces of popcorn.

I am the Crazy Monster.

My arms are logs

My legs are beads glued together

I am the Crazy Monster.
