One drop
Two drops
Three drops
Four

The rain drips, down the door,

Five drops
Six drops
Seven drops
Eight

It yells, "get out of bed, and don't be late."

Nine drops
Ten drops
Eleven drops
Twelve

It falls cold, and wet, to the ground

Thirteen drops
Fourteen drops
Fifteen drops
Sixteen

Oh how much the rain did miss me

Seventeen drops
Eighteen drops
Nineteen drops
Twenty

No more rain please,
We have plenty

My soldier has left
He’s gone away
He’s not coming back
for a hundred days

He’s off in the desert
laying in the sand
hes on his knees praying
that i wont be mad

Im at home washing dishes
when the man knocks on the door
and hands me the letter
that my soldiers not coming home

The world is blurry
my chest aches
i cant hear the man’s car
as he drives away

i sit on the couch not knowing what to do
whether to cry
or to keep my face dry

so today, the letter sits in a drawer
there is no trace of my soldier here anymore
He did not come back after a hundred days
he left me for good
with bills to pay

goodbye my soldier
i will be strong
but why did you leave me here, all alone?
this
i will never know
-Madi.S
The birds chirp in the trees
Outside in the breeze
Outside it is sunny and bright
But inside it is dark as night

It is cold and dark inside
And bright and sunny outside
I sit here in this dark room
Looking out at the world

The tears fall one after another
The clouds are my eyes, dark and full
So the rain comes down
The tears roll

So I get up and close the curtains
I can’t look at it anymore
It’s so hard to try to be happy
Or to look at something so bright and full of joy

So I go into the bathroom
and take out mom’s pills
1-2, a few minutes later they are all gone
So I go back to the dark room
and open the curtains

Then I lay down on my bed and look out the window
The bright sun starts to fade
The flowers turn black
And soon I can’t hear the birds chirping anymore
All is silent
The joy, is gone
-Madi.S
i open my eyes
to a beautiful sight
the trees have golden branches
and there is no night

the streets are paved with gold
and everyones glad
theres no crime, no disrespect
no one is ever sad

i ask a man to my left
“what is this place?”
he simply answers
“it’s farther than outer space”

So I walk around and take in the sights
Then I walk in a doorway
It looks so nice
A little house
just like mine

then the memories flood back into my mind
here on the floor
is where i laid
after all those pills
i just had to take

now the gold streets don’t seem so happy
and the man is looking in my window now
probably wondering why I did what I did
and that into this beautiful place, I shouldn’t be allowed
So I lay down on the spot on the floor
And wish that someone would take me away
I don’t deserve to be here anymore
-Madi.S
You lay here
Forgotten by the world,
Waiting,
for someone to stumble upon you

You lay here
Watching the hours tick by
Waiting,
For someone to notice you

You lay here
a forgotten flame
Waiting,
To set fire to your surroundings

You lay here
Just a corpse in the ground
Waiting,
for nothing
-Madi.S
She sat alone
At lunch everyday
No one ever noticed
The tears on her face

She was lost
She hoped someday
Someone would find her
And pull her back into reality

Out of her world of darkness
And despair
Out of the swirling sadness
Called her life

She could find no refuge
In books or toys
She didn't play sports
Or join clubs

She stayed home alone everyday
Doing homework
And sitting by herself

Until one day
She went up to the attic
And in the corner
Found a flute

Silver and shining,
She picked it up
Its weight heavy
In her frail arms

She lifted it to her lips
And started to play
The sounds drowned out
The sorrows
Of the week behind her

This instrument,
Silver and shining
Might just be her refuge
But not by choice
So perhaps,
Her savior
-Madi.S
Little snowflake
On my palm
You look so sad
What is wrong?
You're starting to melt
Into my hand
Your unique shapes and patterns
Are turning into a mess
-Madi.S
If I told you I was a storyteller,
Would you ask me to tell you a story?
If I told you I was a poet,
Would you ask me to write you a poem?
For your lost love?
For your lost heart?
For your lost soul?
If i told you who i was,
Would you ask me to prove it?
Or would you believe me?
Would you?

Well,

Would you?
-Madi.S
Who am I?
I’m nice to all,
I’m not too clumsy,
I’m shy but a good guy,
Who am I?

I like to make people laugh,
Even if its at me,
I like animals big or small,
It hurts when I fall,
I know most of you,
Like you know me,
Who am I?

If you know me I’m like a tree and see over thee,
But some of you don't understand me,
I look funny and don’t have a lot of money,
I know these things and I don’t mind,
I love sports ,the most popular three.
Football, Baseball, and Basketball,
I was one of three on my team,
Who am I?

I love my town more than any,
I have a dog Teddy,
I love to cook and I’m good at it,
I’m like you all but I ain't small,
Sometimes I act like a fool in school,
But I still get A’s and B’s,
I've been mistaken for some of the teachers,
I have made many friends,
You always see me walk to school even when it is cool.
Who am I?
Guess if you can, and my name rhymes with one word in this sentence.
Just the two us
Together forever
Basking in our love

We could do anything
Go anywhere we want
And still, we'd have fun

At the beach
At the park
In the woods
Or the pool

Anywhere we are
Is the place to be
Because there's
No one better
Than you and me
