“This is Not a Poem”
This is not a poem.
This is our history.
Our history is important,
Our history is cruel.
This is not a poem, this is our lives,
Everyone around us is dying,
All I hear is cries.
This is not a poem, this is the world.
The world is cruel and evil,
We could make it better,
This is fixable.
This is not a poem, this is our hope,
That we will wake up confident and unafraid,
With no tears, no cries.

” A New Generation of Leaders, Let’s Begin with Me.”
Authentic, I am authentic
Like-able, just like my dad
Intelligent, I am intelligent
Versatile, because I am changing and growing
Innovative, I am a creative thinker
Ambitious, I have a strong desire to succeed
There you have it, a combination of an acrostic poem with Alivia and you have a new generation leader.
Thank you, my name is Alivia.

“Fall”
We love the Fall
And all the pretty trees
We love the brown, red, orange and
Yellow leaves
We love apple cider
And pumpkin pie
And the dark and grey windy sky
The fall is fun
The leaves are neat
When they go crunch, crunch, crunch
At our feet
We love the Fall!

“If We Were in Charge of the World”
If we were in charge of the world,
We would have more trees and flowers,
Red, pink, purple and orange.
We would have less homework and two recesses –
Four hours and ten minutes of outside play!
If we were in charge of the world,
Factories would have less smoke,
And no people would be fighting,
And there’d be free candy for everyone!
We would give money to the poor to give them a better life,
And it would rain money from the sky!
If we were in charge of the world,
Our sillas would be comodas
(and they would fly!)
La calle would be limpia.
And for lunch, we would eat healthier food,
Like broccoli, zanahorias and ice cream!
When we are in charge of the world,
We will play soccer and video games all day.
We will drive flying Lamborghinis,
And our schools would have everything they need!
There will be no more cancer, COVID, or diabetes
And no more guns,
And no mas drogas!
And NO WAR!
When we are in charge,
We will have peace,
Love,
And respect for everyone!

“Kindness”
Kindness is a 13-year-old
She is also wearing a pink top and a light pink skirt
Kindness is really scared of all the bullies in the world
Her favorite thing to eat is a cake with everything pink.
Her favorite thing to do is be kind to people
And go to a really lovely place.
Kindness lives in a really lovely house that is really pink.

“Butterflies Fly”
Butterflies fly and they are all types of colors
The ocean eaves and it is darkest blue
You will see polar bears are cold and as white as snow
Flamingos are born grey but they are as pink as a heart
Red Fox will sneak on little critters
But they are as red as a red mask
Tigers are fast but they are as orange as orange sneakers
Yellow garden spider bite but there are as yellow as butter
Crocodiles have big teeth and they are green!

To this day we stay blessed.

“Colors”
Colors, colors all so cute
So many different shades
Colors used to not be a thing
Like purple, different shades of purple are….
Mauve, thistle, puce, all of the above
See what I mean so many colors
Without colors, the world would be so boring
Imagine a world in black and white
No style, all the clothes the same
No expression, no excitement, and no change
We need color or it will all be the same
We need color!
We need color!

“Pet Adoption”
Pet Adoption is an option
Won’t you consider and make a difference
Adopt a pet, not from a store
But from a cage that’s 4 by 4
Neglected
And Hungry
They are weak, hurt, and defenseless
But with your help, we can get them on track
To be in a home
That nurtures, feeds, and loves them like their own
Protect them, don’t reject them
They seem mean but inside they are sparkling gems
Their drool may seem like slime and goo
But inside they are shining diamonds
Rescue one and you won’t have regrets!

“My Cat is Fat”
I’ve a cat named Asher, and he eats all day.
He always lays around and never wants to play.
Not even with a squeaky toy or anything that moves.
When I have him exercise, he always disapproves.
So we’ve put him on a diet,
but now he yells all day and even though he’s thinner,
He still won’t come and play.

“We are Sisters”
We are sisters
Never break apart
You’re not just my friend
But
You’re my sister in my heart
We are sisters
We laugh and cry together
No matter how we look
We’re always by each other
And like a knot, we are always tethered
We are sisters
We stand up for each other
Our love is like a chain
It always
Sticks together
We are sisters
forever
and ever.

“We are a Team”
We are a team,
A team helps each other, when we help each other we can do hard things
Be kind, respectful, and trust your teammates
Even when we mess up, we can always try again.
We work hard together so that we can get better
We are a team
|Our team is just like a pizza, all of us represent a different topping
All of the different toppings all have different flavors
But when we come together we can make a really good pizza
Sometimes we get knocked down, but we always get back up
We are a team
We run, kick, jump, and practice because we like to win
We work together side by side
I help you, you help me
We believe in each other even though we have our differences
We are a team.

“Toxic”
Is a 12-year-old pre-teen.
They have short brown curly hair that they fix all the time.
They stomp everywhere they go.
Toxic makes everyone jealous with their blue eyes.
They eat king cobras and savor them slowly.
They even drink their poison!
Toxic speaks with a deep, raspy voice.
Toxic wears all-black clothes with acid-green eye shadow.
They use spoiled milk as their cologne.
They are afraid of determined people who are as deep as the ocean.
They make you angry when they talk behind your back.
Toxic wishes they had somebody at home who loved them.

“I Am”
I am from my mom’s curly hair and my dad’s basketball fandom.
I am from a loud and fierce and wild family
I am from bland, bitter brussels sprouts
I am from strawberry ice cream every chance I get.
We are from Cleveland, city of bridges
At our fingers an untold potential of riches
I am from pepperoni pizza, pot stickers, vanilla cake, and calamari.
I am from a love of corn.
I am from a house of Warzone.
I am from a quiet neighborhood with squirrels running in yards.
We are from Cleveland, city of bridges
At our fingers an untold potential of riches
I am from dogs barking all night
I am from “We don’t got all day.”
I am from my brother being obnoxious, my mom cleaning, my dad making jokes and fighting
I am from “The impossible is possible. All you have to do is make it so.”
We are from Cleveland city of bridges
We are from Cleveland, city of bridges
At our fingers
At our fingers
An untold potential of riches.

“Untitled”
I am a girl who likes to imagine and what I imagine
Is me on the beaches with a cold wind you listen
To in a house decorated with things from the sea
I am a girl who likes to imagine and what I imagine
Is me and my aunt in a house of cookies and
A whole world where you always laugh and
Don’t cry about pressing things to see or hear.
I am a girl who likes to imagine and what I imagine is
Me and my family in a world having beautiful girls
Where everything is shining, nothing without shine
Everything is happy without a trace of sadness.

“My Dear Future Self”
I once told my mom
I will talk to my future self
I told my mom,
Dad everyday
I couldn’t help it
I had a dream
Doing it so I did this!
I wrote a letter to my future self
It took me hours until I got it right
I went to the mailman
And said please deliver this
To my figure self.
He said, “Okay”
I waited for the mailman
To come to my house he finally came
Then he said she got the letter
I jumped with excitement, I ran inside
Hugged my mom, dad. I hollered
She got the letter!
Mom, dad cheered with excitement.
And said, “Yay!”

“Soccer is Life”
A soccer team is what we are,
Blocking the ball so they don’t score.
Cheering on,
Down the field we go.
Excitement and teamwork,
Friendships that we have made,
Guarding the goal so they don’t score.
Helping each other out,
I am a soccer player.
Jumping, running, blocking,
Kicking the ball down the field.
Loving what we do,
Moving all around,
Never giving up.
On the field is where we will be.
Practice to improve,
Quick to kick the ball.
Remember, it is not about winning, but being a team
Soccer is our passion.
Teamwork is what it’s about.
Ultimate winning goal,
Victory and beyond.
We can do this as a team.
X-cellent job

All of them have really cool features
There are creepy crawlers, reptiles, mammals and so much more

When I went to the park
I saw a deer in the back
It was in green, it was in black
It is brown and his name is Mark
Deer like to eat grasses and trees
But Mark like to eat
Oreos and candies for free.

“Girl Power”
Getting things done
Independently standing up for people who are getting bullied
Running an after-school group to unite girls of color
Learning to be the best I can be
Pretty in different ways
Owning up to my mistakes
Working together to help each other succeed
Encouraging my teammates to strive for excellence
Respecting humans of all colors and sizes.

“If I Could Change the World”
If I could change the world,
I’ll help others and be someone who inspires,
Everyone around me and ignite a fire,
So that they can save people’s lives,
Doing what we can to survive.
If I could change the world,
I would support those who are in need.
In the garden of life planting seeds,
Expressing myself through all forms of art,
A change of mind and a change of heart.
If I could change the world.

And drink pop.
