Push Yourself

By:Evander Mosley

I feel good

I am ready for my basketball workout

Today it starts off easy

30 minutes later

I feel weak

And sick

But I need to push myself

And every time someone passes me

I go a little bit faster

Because if he can do it

I can do it

Fire music

By Regis Houlier

inspired by Arnold Adoff

This fire:

The always

Noise of

Crackle

Crash

Spark

And the chirps

Of crickets

And the bright colors of

Red

    Orange

              Yellow

And sometimes blue

Being sent up into the air

D- i -s -a -p -p -e -a -r -i -n -g

Into smoke,

And the smell of burning

Pine .

With the

Always noise of this campfire

Fire music
