The Unavoidable Feeling

Author's Note: During Language arts, I couldn't decide what to write about. Then I realized how hungry I was, because this class is right before lunch. This poem describes this feeling.


Working hard,

On the computer,

I notice something,

That should be helped sooner,

A lion-like growl,

Erupts from my tummy.

It's then I realize,

I need something yummy.

Seconds ticking by,

Seems more like hours.

I can't take it much longer,

I don't have those powers.

Then the bell breaks the quiet,

Just like a car horn's blast.

Sitting in the lunchroom,

I'm cured at last.

Finally Here

Author's Note: This poem is based off of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.  It's supposed to show how Harry's life starts out disappointing and ambiguos, but it all changes when Hagrid takes him away to be a student at the magical school called Hogwarts.

After years of dreaming,

After years of despair,

After years of feebleness,

It's finally here.

I searched for an answer,

I searched for a chance,

I searched for a solution,

That's finally here.

Taken away from misery,

Taken away from longing,

Taken away from pain,

I'm finally here.

Now I have friendship,

Now I have hope,

Now I have opportunity,

Home is finally here.
