My Day

My day was like a butterfly
flying in the sky
It's like spring on a winter day
I love my day.

Pollution On The Earth

People on the earth are
polluting
We should have butterlies
flying in the air
flowers blooming
cats meowing
dogs barking
and people bar b queing
That is what our earth should be like
not bloods and crips
and on this precious earth bags of potato chips

Lovely People

Lovely people among the world.
Black, white, African,
Puerto Rican and Dominican.
All lovely people around the world.
My poetry teacher Angie
is a special lovely person
in Brooklyn NY in a
special part around the world.

To All The Mothers Out There

For all the mothers out there
that have to raise children.
For all the mothers that’s on
welfare.
For all the mothers that
have to put up with grown
children.
For all the mothers that need
formula for their babies.
Thank God for our mothers
carrying us for 9 months.
Because of them we are
here today.
Because of them we have
shelter.
Because of them we have
food.
Because of them we have clothes.
Because of them we have
a life.
Because of them we have
never ending love.

My Heart

My heart is red and
full of lush.
When you enter my heart
You won’t leave in a rush.
I love my heart and
everything else. Won’t you want
to be in my heart.
