Basketball

Basketball

I can see the NBA player running
Going to the basket, and scoring
I can smell the new smell of a brand new ball
It feels like you are rubbing tiny soft rocks
The ball sounds like an elephant running on an open field
The roaring of the fans are like a One Direction Concert
The ball reminds me of the time I used to play
Chucking the ball into the basket
You can hear the swish
Sounds like trees swaying back and forth
Then all you hear after that
Is the ball bounce down and not picked up again
It was a buzzer beater

Skin Poetry

Skin Poetry By: Robert Pauly


My skin is like Earth
It has many layers
My skin is like a scar
It holds many memories
My skin is like a pencil
Waiting to be used
My skin is like a shield
It can always take a hit
My skin is like a canvas
Filled with many colors
My skin is like a fortress
Keeping everything inside

The Dog of Pompeii


     In The Dog of Pompeii, by Louis Untermeyer, Bimbo is described as selfless. In the story it says "Bimbo straining his back from the last inch, almost pulling his clothes of if." This quote reveals thatBimbo was pulling Tito so hard because he wanted to save his best friend so he was urging him and pulling him so that he could survive, he knew well what was going on. He could have survived without Tito, but he decided to save him from death.

     In The Dog of Pompeii by, Louis Untermeyer, Tito is described as confused. In the story it says "Tito had no idea what time of the day was. He could feel it was black, an unnatural blackness."Tito was confused because as seen in the quote he had no idea where he was and what was going on in his surroundings.
