Childhood Days

This is what I remember when I was young when we were growing up.

I use to play all day until the sun went down but still yet I would play. I remember playing at the park with no stop I remember

When I was young I was able to show off to people. When I was young I could climb trees all the way to the summit, That’s what I remember when I was young.

When we were growing up we would make pretend games we would play house, Harry Potter, Doctor, and much more. That’s what I remember when we were growing up.

--Chloe Martins-Keliihoomalu

This poem is titled Childhood days because these are all the things I would do when I was younger. The first stanza explains I would never want to stop playing until the sun went down. The second stanza is about when I was younger I could show off and people would watch me, and I could climb really high. The third and last stanza talks about what I would do with my favorite cousin. That’s why I titled it Childhood Days.

Ball Up

Basketball, soccer, volleyball, golf, baseball, track, cheerleading, wrestling, swimming, football.

Focus, concentration, competition, hard work, teamwork, dedication, integrity, honesty, sportsmanship, challenge.

Sweating, cramps, injuries, sprains, broken bones, blood, tears, frustration as the ball smoothly glides past the hole laughing all the way.

Winning, losing, trophy’s medals, letters, certificates, making a basket and hearing, swish to the melodious buzzer. It is all worth it!

--Tiana Iwata

This poem is titled Ball Up because this poem is about sports and in lots of sports a ball is included and it is a team sport. Knowing that usually when you are open and you want one of your team mates to pass it to you, you call out something but some people say “ball up”, “ball up”.

My Family

My mom She is the most knowledgeable person in my family She always has an answer for everything My mom gives the best advice She always says, “If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.” My mom is the ocean of brains

My dad He is our country guy He loves to camp out He has a lot of experience He is the forest of houses

My sister leiohu She is the spoiled one in our house She always gets what she wants She always has candy because my mom likes her as lot She is our castle of brats

My sister Makaiwa She is our star of the family She is gifted with many talents She is skillful with singing as well as playing guitar

Me, I’m the extreme one in the family Sometimes my mom gets irritated with my ideas For example my idea of taking a shelf out the window instead of walking out the door I am the wave of shark My crazy ideas and me
