Poems!
By Anna C., Lincoln Park Words@Play Program
If you ever run into
a piece of barbecued chicken
run away as fast as you can to China.
If you get tired on the way
take a plane. If they give it to
you on the plane, start a food
fight. It will be fun. Just
make sure no one throws it
back at you. Then get off the
airplane and make hotel reservations.
Enjoy China, but remember
barbecued chicken is evil.

Black will taste like black cherries.
Red will taste like fake blood.
Black will feel like black hair.
Red will feel like blood.
Black will smell like worms.
Red will smell like blood.
Black will sound like crows crying.
Red will sound like someone bleeding.
Black looks like a shadow.
Red looks like a sunset.
Black reminds me of night.
Red reminds me of blood.
A black thing at home is a black PS2.
A red thing at home is a dead fish.

Eat it, it’s good for you
That makes me mad
How can something be good for you
if it tastes so bad
try it, you’ll like it
I know thats a lie
I know I don’t like it
So why should I try
Just take one little nibble
Just take one little taste
Why can’t they eat their food
And let me eat mine

Exciting to the extreme!
Xylophones are beautiful!
Cats purr!
Loving and caring!
Awesome and amazing!
Magnificently crazy!
Acrostic poems rock!
Tis the season to be jolly!
I am loving!
Optimistic and cheerful!
Never unhappy!

Wow yellow!
Juicy large roll
With pits on each end with
A tangy and sour taste
Wow yellow!
