Poetry Prompt

Prompt: Write a poem  about someone waiting for something.

I sit and stare out the window,

Scanning the scene,

My fingers gently tapping on my leg,

As I wait.

Drops hit the window,

Blurring the image of outside,

As they race each other,

Towards the cold, wet ground.

As I wait.

The gray clouds loom overhead,

Laughing at the sadness they bring,

As I sit inside and glare up at them,

Willing them to go away.

Then just as I fear it will never end,

The clouds slowly move away,

Revealing an old friend who grins down at me.

My wait is over.

Your deeds speak so much louder than another's words (88 words).

I think that "Your deeds speak so much louder than another's words." means that your actions can show how you feel towards something stronger than someone else talking about the same thing. Like instead of saying how much you want to help find a cure for cancer, you could go on a walk for cancer to show your support. When I’m angry at someone I could yell at them and show them I was mad at them, or I could ignore them and silently protest until they understand.

S,S, What begins with S?

Spring is my favorite season. So many different flowers bloom and the trees come alive again. Sunny, warm days begin and my trampoline gets set up in May as the outdoor activities start. Swimming season gets closer and my birthday occurs. School edges closer and closer to an end as everyone anticipates the summer. Spring is spent planning my birthday and enjoying the new found heat. Sitting outside, I get the chance to enjoy the weather, soak up some sun, and read a book on my nook. Spring is when my friends and I start to go for walks together and when my family goes to the drive-ins. Summer might be for some people, but Spring is for me.

Assign Each Letter A Value

 

Assign each letter a value,

Greater than it's own.

Give it hope that it may be,

Something larger than life.

Assign each letter a value,

Greater than it's own.

Give it a secret to keep hidden,

Or a story to share.

Assign each letter a value,

Greater than it's own.

Give it a feeling of pride,

A feeling of sorrow.

So that when it is joined with others to form a word,

It may still stand tall,

For it stands alone with it's own meaning.

Assign each letter a value,

Greater than it's own.

Hide pieces of memories behind each one.

That only the writer will know.

Assign each letter a value,

Greater than it's own.

The L stands tall with a locket winding around it,

Showing love for others.

The S is always smiling,

Happy to be with friends.

The B is the first to take a risk,

Being bold comes naturally to it.

The E is always bouncing around,

Whether excited or energetic,

No one is sure.

The I can sometimes have an icey chill towards the other letters when upset,

But has a very vivid imagination.

And the H is helpful to it's friends when needed,

Always willing to lend a hand.
