The end of the month is coming near It is almost, almost, here NaPoWriMo is coming to an end It is like diverging with a faithful friend So say goodbye, give one last wave For all your secrets to it you gave In the form of poems, emotionally true Showing sadness or the story of a girl named Sue But is there a need to worry? Nay! Even as April turns into May For next year, your teacher might say: "I want you to write a poem every day" And most might groan, but those Who truly understand the value of poetry Will secretly shout "Hurray!" Happy NaPoWriMo, great job to everyone who wrote a poem every day!

Poetry
Poetry is whatever you want it to be It's a chance to express yourself and to be free Poetry's not a science, it's an art It's not something for sale at Walmart Poetry is creative and completely rules-free And so a poet is not something all want to be Poetry requires you to have an open mind Any poem you read could become a great find And therefore, that which is adored by one Another could think is void of all fun So you must read with an open mind And make sure not to judge; always be kind And soon, NaPoWriMo will come to an end On their path young poets it will send And even if you run and hide at a look Remember that poetry can be beautiful Even if it doesn't rhyme :P
Lies
Lies can ruin somebody's life Lies can cause terrible strife Lies can cause great pain and harm Lies can cause great fear and alarm Lies can kill those so close to you Not just literally, but in other ways too Lies can ruin friendships and spark great hate Old friends hating you is a terrible fate So don't lie; take the easy way out It's a straightforward way to avoid others' doubt Always telling the truth is the right thing to do So you can have a clean conscience and be regarded as true
No
No That can't possibly be It's too improbable, you see No There is no way That this could possibly happen today No No You can deny it all you want It's easy to act always nonchalant You can easily say "No way!" Yet it can and it does happen today It's easy to look the other way "I didn't see that" is easy to say It's easy to deny the truth under your nose It happens a lot; that's just how it goes It's easy to ignore the obvious truth It's easy to deny old age in your youth It's easy to ignore what's far away It's easy to wish thoughts of the hungry away But no matter what you convince yourself The hungry are there despite all your wealth So don't deny it; don't say "No" Because your lies will haunt you wherever you go
Earth-Minded is the Way to Be (Parody of “D.O. is the Way to Go”)
Y'know, Earth-minded is the way to be It makes you feel great and happy and free Just be careful not to get too cocky If you do, your path will get rocky We all need Earth, so don't be a fool Besides, helping the Earth really is cool Don't pollute, and it'll be all right So our Earth doesn't have to fight Without our Earth, we can't live We're taking from our planet, so back we must give If you do, the world gets better We owe it; to our Earth we are a huge debtor We all need Earth, so don't be a fool Besides, helping the earth really is cool Don't pollute, and it'll be all right So our doesn't have to fight What we're doing here, to help our Earth Is planting trees with a very high worth So we were there, but how 'bout you? 'Cause coming to Earth Day is the thing to do We all need Earth, so don't be a fool Besides, helping the earth really is cool Don't pollute, and it'll be all right So our Earth doesn't have to fight Earth-minded is the way to be! I'm out! Peace!
Rain, Rain, Go Away
Rain, rain, go away You have ruined my happy day You killed the sun's bright ray And so, I must solemnly say: Despite being so common in April and May The rain, especially near the Chesapeake Bay Makes the sky depressingly gray It cancels fun stuff like outdoor ballet! I wish I could make the rain pay I wish I could cause it huge dismay I wish I could kill it in a great display Most people would think it was okay But can I do this? Nay! And so, it will continue to ruin games of croquet It prevents the writing of an outdoor essay It requires the use of excessive hairspray And so, we will continue to suffer from spray Of cars in a hurry to go on their way And sadly, we cannot fly away To a rain free place like the town of Green Bay Or maybe New Mexico, like Santa Fe Internationally, there's the awesome Bombay Rain is the downside of the USA And while it is so easy to say: "Rain, rain, go away" It never seems to ever obey Or even cause the slightest delay But do not give up, don't be led astray Eventually the clouds will pull away And then, let the celebrations be gay*! And so, let the masses shout "Hurray!" And crowds will reply, "Yay!" *Happy
Fog
Rolling in across the land Over fields of dirt and sand Pushed by a small, cool, breeze The eeriness puts you not at ease Flying in like solemn ghosts Often prevalent around the coasts A strange weather phenomenon Now it's here, soon it's gone Visibility drops, and you can't see Yet the fog is the cool place to be Wet inside, your clothes get soaked Even those nearby are easily cloaked
Period 4 Science Limerick
If you were in the game design group, you should recognize this:
There once was a dog named Fred
He decided to eat some lead
That wasn’t so smart
It made him fart
And very quickly, he was dead

Gone
He sat there Every day For as long as anyone Could remember Every day Reading the newspaper Just sitting there As the world went by Everyone knew him But no-one Really knew Who he Was No-one Every bothered him Even Hardened criminals Left him alone From sunup To sundown He sat there And read the Newspaper But then One day He was gone The chair which Had been Filled For so long Was Solemnly Empty It seemed Final Concluding Ultimate Everyone noticed But no-one Said Anything Gone Vanished Disappeared All which remained Was A folded up Newspaper And he was gone.
