Sydney
It means enthusiastic, smart, confident,
It is the number 19,
It is like the juiciness of excitement,
It is the sweet lemonade,
It is the memory of Leila,
Who taught me inspiration, and self expression,
When she danced,
My name is Sydney,
It means to live life at it's fullest, every day of the year.

HOMEWORK
Homework makes me sad.
When I finish I am glad.
Every day that I have dance,
Homework hardly has a chance.

I dance and twirl all night long,
To various old and modern song.
When I come home hungry and sleepy,
The amount of homework I have is creepy.

HOMEWORK CONTINUED
My homework keeps me up at night,
Worse than any Halloween fright.
Sometimes I like to pretend
That homework will come to an end.

I now check the Renweb site.
My tongue I have to bite.
Two more subjects yet to go
What am I going to do? Oh no!

HOMEWORK CONTINUED
Whew, finally I am done.
All finished just before one.
Yawn,yawn, I need to sleep now.
Tomorrow again, holy cow!

Haiku #1 (toy)
It's smooth white body
Dusting as you control it
You're now done cleaning

Citrus on Orange
The sky compliments the sun

10 line Poem of wonder

Sometimes I wonder if other colors exist
Even an artist can not imagine these
No color we see are the same
A great please to see something different
Something out of the ordinary

Wonder poem continued

A color blue green yet yellow orange at same
Not a tint nor a shade
It could be all or none of these
How would we know the answer
We can only wonder about answers we don't know

Ode to winter
By Sydney Aikens


The leaves say farewell to the branches
So quickly after the colorful show
The air cools as the days grow shorter
The darkness surrounds us in stillness

Ode to winter continued

The frost begins to cover the ground
As snow clouds drift overhead
Slowly delicate snowflakes fall from the sky
Not enough to stick

The birds have left their nests to head south
And we are left with silence in the morning
The silence blankets the land with calmness

FEAR OF SPIDERS
Arachnophobia some may call it
Black and hairy, hideous things they are
Creepy, crawly, in the corner they sit
Disgusting even when trapped in a jar

Hanging high from their silky, sticky web
Waiting patiently for their clueless prey
A trapped bug's morale at its lowest ebb
As its blood is sucked dry and it turns gray

CONTINUED

To think of one wriggling right on my skin
Makes me shudder straight to my central core
The mean spider smiles a hideous grin
I scream a scream louder than lions roar

Disgusting spiders invoke such a fear
I shiver and shudder when they are near

A verses Z

I am the first
In the alphabet In the alphabet
I am the last
A letter called "Z"
My name is A
I stand for I stand for
Zebra,
Anchor,
Zero,
Architect,
Zachary zaps zeek
Andy ate an apple
The list goes on The list goes on
To many more words To many more words
Even more words Even more words
From letters before me
From letters after me
But out of all the letters But out of all the letters
The first
The last
Letter of the alphabet Letter of the alphabet
Is the worst Is the worst
For I as the first letter For I as the last letter
Am the best Am the best

Name poem


Sydney
It means enthusiastic, smart, confident,
It is the number 19,
It is like the juiciness of excitement,
It is the brother burglar,
It is the memory of Leila,
Who taught me inspiration, and self expression,
When she danced,
My name is Sydney,
It means to live life at it's fullest, every day of the year.



Humerous poem: Homework


Homework makes me sad.
When I finish I am glad.
Every day that I have dance,
Homework hardly has a chance.

I dance and twirl all night long,
To various old and modern song.
When I come home hungry and sleepy,
The amount of homework I have is creepy.

My homework keeps me up at night,
Worse than any Halloween fright.
Sometimes I like to pretend
That homework will come to an end.

I now check the Renweb site.
My tongue I have to bite.
Two more subjects yet to go.
What am I going to do, oh no!

Whew, finally I am done.
All finished just before one.
Yawn, yawn, I need to sleep now.
Tomorrow again? Holy cow!
