Thundarr(literary magazine)

With muscular arms,
and strong hands,
he grips the sun sword tightly,
He raises the sword above his head,
quickley thrusting downward,
he chops the evil wizard in half,
he saves the world,
"Ookla, Ariel, Ride!",
A man of few words,
but many deeds,
Is gone to save the world,
Once again,
He is Thundarr

Tribute to the guy who wrote part of this poem(magazine)

"It little profits that an idle king, 
by this still hearth,
among these barren crags matched with an aged wife."
I want to fly,
Have the wind mess up my hair,
Instead of my pillow,
I crave the feeling,
of feeling waitless,
or even scared,
The most thrilling thing of my life,
is not remembering an episode of the Eddie Griffith show,
I now renounce the throne to m rocking chair kingdom,
Sky-diving here I come,
but wait,
I can't miss the 6 o'clock news.

Vern the cat

Vern was a cool cat,
He knew where it was at,
That cat ate some cheese,
That cheese was good,
He asked the rat " may I have some more? Please?"
The rat said "It can make you as dead as wood"
Vern started to see fog,
That cat was as dead as a log!

OBSERVING POEM(literary magazine)

In a pit of brown dust, 
he walks with a wood plank,
He's got Army written on his chest,
Perhaps not a soldier,
But he must fulfill his duty,
and follow commands,
taking orders from his Seargeant,
 he does them without question,
on the inside he is tired,
of the tyranny that awaits him day after day,
thinking why can't you do you it?,
But all he gives is a smile and a yes sir,
He keeps his hands steady to be sure his fellow Private,
does not miss the nail,
from the reflection of the bright sun on the nail,
He sees victory

Sonnet 1

He walks away again, from the thing he
loves most; dropping the leather on the ground,
failing seven of ten times is the key,
He knows that never hearing that loud sound,
Brings an enormous smile to his face,
Thoughts of euphoria expand his mind,
All the things he could do, not as the ace,
Maybe there  could be someone else to find,
That game they played sure was pretty boring,
All that crap about playing in college,
Thinking about that life gets him crying,
Everyday practicing getting that edge,
Maybe that game wasn't even that bad, 
Couldn't dream of losing all that he had.

literary magazine

I liked the artwork but I think That it should correspond a little with what the poem or story is saying.
I think that the titles should be shown clearly.
I liked the illustrations with the poems and stories. 
I liked that there were photos of everyone on the back of the magazine.
I really liked the small design.
I think that the cover should be completely black. In tribute to spinal tap

my other narrative poem(magazine)

he wakes up,
wishing not to be beat up,
but his brother walks in room,
the small boy knowing his  doom,
nursing the bruises,
and the scabs from the nooses,
everyday just hurting worse,
there must be some kind of curse,
getting picked on at school,
makes him a fool,
sucking up the embarrassment every day,
to banged up to even play,

he takes the beating,
but it never comes,
as though his enemy was fleeing,
he stops hearing the sound of battle drums,

but the sense of love, 
his brother symbolizing a dove?
the boy feels very snug
his brother gave him a hug!

Robin

Who is this Batman guy?

I can do everything that

He can do and

I am just a kid!

Just cause he has

Rodent shaped ninja stars

And a cool car

Everyone thinks he is all that,

 He gets

All

The credit,

If I did not turn up

 the temperature Bruce

would never have caught

Mr. Freeze

What about the time

I was fighting the Penguin?

I almost had him

But Bruce barged in

And knocked him out!

And because of

Bruce’s advice I was captured by

Two Face and The Riddler

Alfred always makes

 A big deal about how

I was Beat up

By a girl

But it was

Cat woman

And I had two

Sprained ankles from

Saving Bruce

From 5 huge bankrobbers

With guns

I am so much better

Than him

I deserve way

more credit than I receive

One day

Bruce will fail where

I will succeed

Then the people of Gotham

Will see

 The true hero

Me.

 

Hotdogs

Lay them on the grill,
Put the top won,
Cook until they are black and crispy,
place the soft white buns on the grill,
Cook until they are crispy,
 Put the juicy dog into the bun,
Squirt a line of mustard, 
between the hotdog and the bun,
Enjoy!

Diamonte

Decatur,
Small, loud
Rushing, driving, running
The square, Marta, T.V., couch
Sitting, watching, eating
Small, quiet
My house

narrative poem

I walked down the street,
to a simple beat,
I saw that dog peeing on the fire hydrant,
I kind of thought that it was very vent,
when I got to the store,
I wanted to buy more, 
food,
so I pood,
in the toilet,
but I can only regret,
Letting that dog pee on the fire hydrant.

chicken soup with rice by Maurice Sendak

January
In January it's so nice
While slipping on the sliding ice
To sip hot chicken soup with rice
Sipping once, sipping twice
Sipping chicken soup with rice

February
In February it will be
My snowman's anniversary
With cake for him and soup for me!
Happy once, happy twice
Happy chicken soup with rice

March
In March the wind blows down the door
And spills my soup upon the floor
It laps it up and roars for more
Blowing once, blowing twice
Blowing chicken soup with rice

April
In April I will go away
To far off Spain or old Bombay
And dream about hot soup all day
Oh, my, oh, once, oh, my, oh, twice
Oh, my, oh, chicken soup with rice

May
In May I truly think it best
To be a robin lightly dressed
Concocting soup inside my nest
Mix it once, mix it twice
Mix that chicken soup with rice

June
In June I saw a charming group
Of roses all begin to droop
I pepped them up with chicken soup!
Sprinkle once, sprinkle twice
Sprinkle chicken soup with rice

July
In July I'll take a peep
Into the cool and fishy deep
Where chicken soup is selling cheap
Selling once, selling twice
Selling chicken soup with rice

August
In August it will be so hot
I will become a cooking pot
Cooking soup of course-why not?
Cooking once, cooking twice
Cooking chicken soup with rice

September
In September, for a while
I will ride a crocodile
Down the chicken soup-y Nile
Paddle once, paddle twice
Paddle chicken soup with rice

October
In October I'll be host
To witches, goblins and a ghost
I'll serve them chicken soup on toast
Whoopy once, whoopy twice
Whoopy chicken soup with rice

November
In November's gusty gale I will flop my flippy tail
And spout hot soup-I'll be a whale!
Spouting once, spouting twice
Spouting chicken soup with rice

December
In December I will be
A baubled, bangled Christmas tree
With soup bowls draped all over me
Merry once, merry twice
Merry chicken soup with rice

I told you once, I told you twice
All seasons of the year are nice
For eating chicken soup with rice

I really like this poem because it's a fun catchy song and it adds things educating into it such as, the months of the year. I also read this book many times when i was growing up.
