School Nature (Haiku)

Outside of our school
The pine trees are majestic
Brings thoughts of christmas

Marshes (Haiku)

Next to the marshes
The muddy smell fills my nose
The cat tails shutter

Dear Homework
Jack Pedlow Apr 2014
Dear Homework,
Sitting down to do you is like a little kid sitting down to eat his veggies.
In case the eternity of school every day isn't enough you add to that.
You're the nails on a chalkboard, the leg that fell asleep.
The peas in the chicken noodle soup, the sun blocking my view.

You're like an injury.
Always holding me back.
You're like getting out of bed.
Nobody wants to but we all have to do it eventually.
Hopefully you're like dinosaurs.
We just want you to go extinct.

Sincerely, Everybody

Life is a blank canvas
Jack Pedlow Apr 2014
Life is a blank canvas.
A canvas that only you can draw on.
There is no pre-determined outcome
You can paint what you want to be painted.

Some people may start off with the best equipment,
But it doesn't mean their painting is good.
Some people may start off with no equipment,
But they might have a great painting.

Life is a blank canvas.
No lines to draw in, nobody telling you what to draw.
So don't let your painting get ruined by a simple mistake.
Make a great painting.

Sunset
Jack Pedlow Apr 2014
The bright sunset on the sandy beach.
In the sky, it looks like a crushed peach
The salty smell of the ocean is great,
It's a smell you either love or hate.
The soft sand in between my toes.
The sunset with it's beautiful pose.
Overall the sunset is really great.
It only comes once a day so don't be late.

— The End —
