Jokey Jordan lives in the jungle. She juggles her jokes to the jaguars. She also juggles her jokes to the gymnasium. She joked so much she was jalting, jalting, jalting she can’t breathe! One jaguar jumps on her and her joking box came out. She can never joke again.

 * __Onomatopoeia Poems__**

My Backyard by: Cameron W.

My backyard is very noisy but not like the annoying noisy Noisy like the peaceful noise There's birds tweeting - tweet tweet There's the sound of a baby bunny hopping through the grass - swoosh There's bees buzzing - buzzzzz There's the sound of my pool - Splash! Then I hear a car drive by - Vrooooom! Then my puppy barks and scares away the baby bunny - BARK!!!

Would You?

Would you reject me Because of the color of my skin?

Would you say I just don't fit in?

Is it the way I act, sit, or stand?

Would you hurt me Just to see what I'd do?

Or would you accept me Because there's a little of me In you?

The wave punches the tree onto the ground It falls but doesn't make a sound. They run in fear but they cannot hear that distractive wave is here. I'm here to say I shall pray all day that the wave will stray away. We hope we'll come out of the Darkness onto the Brightness of the hopeful and peaceful path and We shall run and laugh as we did before the wave did pass. by: Matt A.//
