Middle Division

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.

by Alexandra Frimbres

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

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!
