1st Place
sisters can be nice
sisters can be mean
sometimes my sister is cooler
than me
but when she says to me
I'll be by your side
(even if I'm not clean)
I'll smile a big smile
and say I love big sis
she'll give me a big hug
and I'll kiss her with a chocolate bliss.

High Division
1st Place
Birds tweeting in the air
Fun
Peaceful
Sipping on some ice tea
Staring
Sitting
Watching TV
by Michael Butner
2nd Place
Jarred-
Hyper, determined, Native, Mexican
Brother of Jaime, Tommy and Julian
Lover of mac n cheese, basketball and football
Who feels peace in the company of my girl, and family
Who need better grades, and to concentrate better
Who would like to see my little brother go into the NBA
Who lives where there's peace and quiet
-Ruelas
by Jarred Ruelas
3rd Place (a three-way tie)
On the computer is where I spend most my life,
I just watched some guy on YouTube stab his hand with a knife
New post on facebook from a friend trying to tell,
Everyone that "Google is down so use AOL,"
I edit videos and listen to music,
Want to watch them? Just type in "NIC"
As amazing as it is, my time on must come to a stop,
My eyes hurt so bad I'm afraid they might pop,
Goodnight
by Nic H.
Today I awoke with a major pain in my leg. I felt like there was 1000 needles going through my leg. So when I got up I walked to the bathroom and took my pills and my pain went away.

You may hate me,
Because I do what I do.
You may hate me,
Because I am not like you.
You may hate me,
But I do NOT hat you.
You may hate me,
But I love you.
You may hate me,
But I do NOT care,
So Fuck You!
