My Heart Reminds Me

My heart reminds me of the time when I saw a baby crying for its mommy’s milk. My heart is filled with black nights with bats all around me. My heart reminds me of the time I first learned to walk. My heart is filled with red hearts telling me to follow my dreams. My [...]

Un Breve Paseo a Discovery Green ~ A Brief Trip to Discovery Green

Un Breve Paseo a Discovery Green El cielo era azul como un lago. La tierra era negra como una cueva, y el hielo era blanco como una ventana. Sí, había hielo, y yo estaba patinando en Discovery Green. El sol brillaba como fuego. Yo pensé que no podía patinar, entonces me agarré del muro. ¡Shwoosh! [...]

The Moon Rises

When the moon rises, apples and pears start dancing, and the spaghetti cries because it misses its sauce. When the moon rises, my stuffed bear dances with the puppy. Then they all start dancing. The blinds start moving and singing. When the moon rises, the couches and chairs talk to my mom as she cleans. [...]

Where I’m From

I’m from the smell of strawberry muffins and blueberry waffles. I’m from the sound of the blue waves, from missing my cousin’s voice. I’m from laughter and every time we chased him around. I’m from the sweet sunshine that shines so bright. I’m from Christmas and nights when we just have fun. By Bria, 4th [...]

Chocolate Ice Cream World

I wonder what kind of dog I will have. I hear the ocean. I see the beach. I want Christmas to come. I am kind. I pretend Christmas is here. I feel a thousand feet tall. I touch winter’s snow. I worry about my mom and dad. I cry for my mom when she is [...]

Cooking Away

I watch my mom cooking away, her mind full of delicious recipes. I find her face full of concentration; my own, full of delight at the sweet smells wafting up my nose. I watch hungrily as she puts in the last ingredient and stirs it with a wooden ladle. She scoops it out into a [...]

A Hungry Dog at Thanksgiving

If I were the dog, at Thanksgiving I would say: That chopped liver smells good. I hope they drop some turkey. I want to taste that. I think I see dessert. This is so noisy. When is it going to be over? I think I like everything here. I will just jump on the table. [...]

The Color of Warmth

If I were a color, I would be the color of warmth. I would be the color of Thanksgiving. If you looked at the late sunset, you’d find me. I am the color of spicy gummy bears. I am the delicious brown spice. I am the color of deer and old burnt treasure maps. I [...]

My Name is Memphis

I was born in Gamma’s house and every time I spend the night there she wakes up and cooks me sausage and grits. I have a nephew named Jaden who I play ball with. My favorite things to do are eat, watch TV, and play video games all day. My favorite video game is Teenage [...]

Shooting Stars

I catch shooting stars with my tongue. They feel like sharp needles in my mouth, but taste like ice cream. I open my mouth and a beam flashes out into the night skies. Shooting stars taste like chocolate covered ice running down my throat like an avalanche on a cold winter day. Finally, it’s down [...]

The Mystery City

I hear the sounds of gangs fighting like red fire, lobster and shrimp being cooked on orange, warm grills. People being served at tables with happiness, the loud sound of barking dogs that turn black, sounds of footsteps walking through the night with sadness, loneliness roams in the air, gleaming light from the moon that [...]
