Meghan Lemberg The Party

Party downstairs I don’t know why but every ones crying I am up stairs with my cousins Everyone is wearing black And grandma’s sleeping in a basket

Now I am 8 years older and 8 years wiser And I understand that, that party wasn’t a party Black was the right color to wear I wish I would have said goodbye To my peaceful, sweet, dead grandma **__ Opening day __**

First memories, Opening day. I had my Reds hat, And my Reds shirt. <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">My baseball glove on, <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">And my Reds baseball in hand.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">We went to the parade, <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">And had a so much fun. <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">My dad, my mom, and I, <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">All together, <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">It was a great day. <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">By: Alex Geiger

<span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">Walking up the metal stairs, <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">To see the people and a new world, <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">I was massively stunned I almost hurled, <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">By everything I saw and heard, <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">I didn't know how to say a word, <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">When I landed I saw a free country, <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">And it was a new life to be.

Memory Poem **I was at the park with my friend,** **We were playing hide and seek,** **I was hiding behind bushes on a wall,** **I lost my balance and fell.**

**My friend’s mom took me to a hospital.** **I met my dad there.** **He had to hold me upside-down for the x-rays,** **Because I couldn’t bend my arm in the right way.**

**I got a green cast,** **It was my favorite color,** **It still is.** **I got it off in a few weeks.** **My skin was really soft then.**

**I then found out that I really broke my elbow,** **I hit the wrist and elbow at the same time.** **I liked the cast though.** **People would do stuff for me.** // -Sam Garner //

Nick Sangermano Earliest Memories Poem Watching cable TV for the first time. Marveled by the amazing shows that it offered me. Ed Edd and Eddie was the first show that I watched. Striving to get jawbreakers and money. I think cable is really awesome. Oh look. I found Spongebob.
