Ninja Poetry from the Youth Write CPL Writing Conference
Poems by Olive and Sarena
ON EAR
How I do love thee
The splendor the sounds
Is rarely a cacophony
I love how you hear all the sounds from the start
Like the honking of cars
Or the beating of my heart
SOUND
Shuffle, shuffle
Beep, beep, beep
Swish, slam
Crash
SWIMMING IN A POND
Swimming in a pond
The lily pad sits undisturbed
Long tongue lies in wait
To catch a fly would be great
Yummy, a big midnight snack
MILK
Milk is a cow’s juice
A perfect pair for Oreos
A gift to all people
CRYSTAL
Crystal was a girl with hair
And she had a tasty pear
But then one night
She had a fright
Because her dress had a ridiculous tear
Poems by Raeesa and Emily
SANDY SKIES
Sandy skies, that’s not right
Ground filled with air, that’s not right
Never have my dreams been this unreal . . .
Or seeming right
GOOD BYE
Good bye my homeland
Will I return or parish?
War of the lands
My home land guiding
Me home again
Fall turns to winter quickly
ODE TO MY HEAD
My head has
Been with me
For 10 years
My head has thought this up
BOOM
Clump, Clump
Thonk, Crash
Boom!
AT NOON
Happy, sad I cry when
Things go wrong we misbehave and
Fool around at noon
ON EAR
How I do love thee
The splendor the sounds
Is rarely a cacophony
I love how you hear all the sounds from the start
Like the honking of cars
Or the beating of my heart

Jail Break - A Space Comedy
Dr. Void is planning to take over the universe. She has the facility, the prisoners, and an experimental serum which will create the ultimate super powered soldier. How can her plan fail? Well if Alex, the emotionally unstable spy, and Ralph, the clumsy but reassuring robot, have anything to say about it, it will. They set about to rescue their fellow spies Lynx, Vivian, and Sierra, but when the girls are turned evil by Dr. Void’s serum and space pirates are set loose from prison it’s anyone’s guess if Alex will succeed.
