Love is the Answer
If something is wrong
And you don’t know how to act
Love is the answer
Angela H.
Haiku poem
I dare you to move
When you feel locked in
And your life seems makes no sense
I dare you to move
To start doing different things
To find the light inside you

Dynamic, athletic
Running, jumping, shooting
Playing on the field, changes on the fly
Skating, rolling, hitting
Cool, intense
Hockey

There was a…
There once was a girl with long hair
But in this story nobody cares!
This story’s about John
His hair is all gone
His head is exposed to the air!

Lymeric
Let’s go!
The sun is shining like sparkly dust
Come with me, life happens fast like a gust
The air is blowing like a breeze intense
Lets go, this decision doesn’t have to make sense.
Being free and young doesn’t happen twice
There’s some things in life that have no price
The world is huge like your imagination
Come with me and admire the beauty of creation.
Maybe we can find our dream place
A marvelous and breathtaking space
Where we can dream of what we can become
It isn’t for everybody; it is right for some.

Butterflies are cool
In the big and huge blue sky
They fly up so high!

Life
Beautiful, Short
Enjoying, living, loving
Learning from mistakes, wishing it doesn’t happen early
Hurting, suffering, dying
Unavoidable, sad
Death
Lyric
It was hard to watch you go
But it was unavoidable though
And all the hopes flew away
As I tried to find my way
You will always be in my heart
As I knew that you would part
But forever you will live
And to me, your love you’ll give
From wherever you are
You will try to heel my scar
And the moments that we shared
Will forever be bared
To the mother I still adore
Her forgiveness I implore
I was absent when you left
And it feels like a terrible heft
With your blessings I will continue
Until the day we will meet anew
I know you would like me to disregard
But losing you has been very, very hard
Love and miss you a lot my beloved mother

Love is a nice dream
Suddenly this dream comes true
My heart beats with love

Oh, wonderful how I feel

LYRIC
I’m glad you saw me the other day
I’m glad you invited me to see the play
We talked, we laughed, we got closer
And suddenly my heart had an owner
I just love the way you love me
Heart and soul, so completely
I like the way you touch my hair
I like the way you see me stare
I hate when you are not around
Without your voice my heart hears no sound
I just love the way you love me
Heart and soul, so completely
I love your goodnight kiss
I love this feeling of bliss
So let’s stay together
For now and forever
I just love the way you love me
Heart and soul, so completely
Thelma T. M.
ACROSTIC
Happiness something you feel not touch
Always be optimistic about life
Roses the gift that I gave to my love
Illness hurts the people whom I love
Torture is what I feel when I think in my country
Horror that feeling not everyone knows

Great love can cause big revenge
Planning, cheating, hating
Sweet, patient
Revenge
Lyric
I hate every day without you
I hate every second waiting at you
My days and nights are year-long
Leaving you was really wrong
I don’t know already where I belong
Eventually I must be strong
We don’t have any regrets, we made our choice
We don’t have any regrets, we had our voice
Now I am here, that was supposed to be
Now you are there, alone and free
All the same but different in many ways
What we can do, we have our own praise
Whatever is happen memories stays
Now it is only a haze
We don’t have any regrets, we made our choice
We don’t have any regrets, we had our voice
