Rachel's Book of...POETRY

...guess what I found in the depths of my closet? Hehe!! I did it in 6th grade...so here's a little sneak at what I was like in '05-'06... ;D

This was how I described myself: "RACHEL KUNICKI is a 6th grade student at IVMS on the Jungle Cats. She is involved in hand bells, jazz band, and the 6th grade band. She is also involved in choir, hand bells, and a recorder choir at her church. She loves playing her saxophone, reading, and shopping with her mom. Her favorite types of music are Broadway (The Phantom of the Opera, Aida, and Wicked), and country. She is in Pre-Algebra and Peer Mediation."

Funny...some of that stuff hasn't changed at all... :D

First poem time!!!

I am...
When I'm sitting all alone
I think about everything I am
I am a little lamb
I am tickle me elmo
I am a happy and sad mask
I am a rocket ready to start an adventure
I am my own Michael Phelps
I am a comb ready to untangle anything
I am like hair in the breeze
I am a puppy ready to play
I am a worm in a book
And when I open my eyes
I look in the mirror and think
I am who God wants me to be

I still really like that one. :] Time fo' mo' poetry yo!

My Today Wish List
I wish I was a doctor, so I could heal you when you're sick
I wish I were a big peace blanket that could cover the earth
I wish I were a piece of candy, always bringing a smile to a child's face
I wish I were the key to your journal
I wish I were the flashlight that gave you light during the storm
I wish I were the coat that kept you warm during the winter
I wish I were a photo album, so I could hold all your memories
I wish I were an eraser, always able to erase your mistakes
I wish I were your make-up, so I could always make you feel good about yourself
I wish I were the funny little clown that could always make you laugh

Summer Sensation
Waves tumbling toward the shore
Rushing in, and then softly going out
People surfing until they fall
Then being swept away by the mighty current
Until they are just a speck in a color of blue

Banana Boat Sunscreen drifts into my nose
Children whining while moms dab it on their face
Then running into waves shrieking with laughter
Building sloppy sandcastles with colorful pails
Digging to see who can get to China first

Laying on my stomach, soaking in heat from the sun
Letting the sand swim through my toes
When I get up I run along the beach racing the waves
Back on the beach seashells are biting my toes
I end the day by reading my favorite book on my fluffy towel
