Best of Class of 2010 Jared LevanAnglo Saxon Style Poetry #3Feeling frantic, fumbling for the worst, Words tangle tenaciously, far from terse. Complete chaos coming out of my mouth, Stuttering, slurring, my idea going south. Sweaty hands flutter frequently, Spiraling sporadically out of control, Swiftly slipping from my optimistic thoughts, Surreal embarrassment squelching my soul. I owe this to a corruptive enemy, Always throwing me cunning curves, Its name no other than, The nuisance that calls itself nerves.

Anglo Saxon Style PoetryHere’s from years deeper in the past
Snowy Delight Twisting, tumbling, twirling down, glamorous flakes glitter to the ground. Swaying and swirling, sinking without a sound, cold and covering like a crystal gown. Wonderfully white winter snow always astounds.Krista Kobbe
Tristan and IsoldeThe secret lovers lay together knowing their frightful fate if found.An English man with an Irish woman …worst than war,But their love showed stronger than shield and sword. When their time together came to an end, Tristan & Isolde's love lasts longer than life. Corissa Dombroski
Winter’s wonder whirls on down,Glowing and glistening like a gown.Slow and soft without a sound,Cold and calm as it covers the ground.Passive and pleasant and peace the flow,Simple and serene is this show we call snow! Liz Murdock
Christmas treesCold, crisp days come for Christmas trees,Gorgeous green groves of Evergreens,Toppling tons of trees to satisfy the needs of,Hungry holiday harvesters. When winter winds whip whileLoading large trees to travel to destinations distant Ben Dumbaugh
Summer Nights Relentlessly remembering reckless summer nights, Looking back longingly on late night swims. Without a care what would happen, The shimmering shiny stars light up.A never-ending necessity of life. Alyssa Bobber
The Beach SoftSand scorching your feet, Screeching seagulls stealing your treats. Bronzed bodies bombard the boardwalk, Crashing waves crush the sand castles. The sun shimmers on the sparkling bay. Brit Long
SummertimeLate nights lasting forever Soft sunlight glistening on your skin, Warm water washing away your worries. Bright fiery fires sparkling with smoke. Loud Laughs fill the lavishing air, There's nothing better than sweet sensational summertime. Marisa Moyle
UnfoundLost and lonely looking for luckSad and sorry searching for someone Depressed and dejected digging deep inside Pathetic and plaintive protracting pathos Excited and exuberant extorting ecstasy Rachel Keefer
Picking Flowers in OblivionGrinning girl with golden hair Freckled face and skin so fair Softly singing songs so sweetDancing, prancing, in bare feetHer innocence is ignorance in this woeful world.Stevie Beisswanger
A Soldier’s DutyMany of our men have been made a martyr.They surrender their souls for the safety of others.Determined to defend our delicate democracy,Fighting fearlessly for our freedom,Pursuing a peaceful place for all people,Heroes in hearts of the homeland, they return. Ralph Beishline
Acting Learning lines of lyric poetry, Practicing parts for different personalities. Taking time to learn the parts, Astounding others with acting arts. Friends and foes form a firm pact, Entertaining everyone explains why I love to act. Corey Brockway
Music is... Soft and serene like a summer breeze. Hard and heavy as driven rain. Soaring skyward up through the trees.Gliding, gracefully in resplendent refrain. Classical, Country, or Rock-n-Roll. So many moods to soothe the soul. Liz Dorkoski
When It All Falls ApartLike a perfect flower in the spring, Growing wild while sun beats itas rays upon the flower. With your tender love, you all think it lasts forever, But then, the cold comes and carries the beauty away. And one by one the petals plunder to the ground, Ultimately seeing such a perfect flower finally fall apart. Adrienne Miller
Sweet SlumberHer heavy head longs for her pillows. As she wishes she was dreaming of wonderful willows. As she gives her bed one last look, She decides on five more minutes studying that boring book.Finally complete, she stumbles slowly to her glorious prize, Here she'll lie lazily until the morning sun rise. Her exhausted eyes ease their way closed, Her sweet slumber arrives just as the new day arose. Erin Shultz
156.Wakeful waterfalls weave through silent springs, As stunning sunsets seek attentive eyes.Restless rainbows raid cease-less storms,While celestial stars shine vivaciously above.But all not as beautiful, as the one I love. Ken Schetroma
My HorseFree Spirit Sweat seeps from his slick shiny skin, His heart racing hard and heavy beneath his hide, His mighty muscles majestically move him, As wind whips wildly through his white mane, His spirit is forever free from any captive form. Brooke Deska
Hot RodSlick shift, smoothly move, Ripping, revving, redline riding, Tearing, Turning, Roosting, Wrecking. Pushing boundaries, bold and brisk, Slip or slide and shatter your ride. Josh Young
ConflagrationStill is the night at two a.m. when everyone is silently sleeping.Startled and awakened by the sound of screaming sirens. I know I must stagger out of bed and speed to the station. There we gather to gear up, and rush to the residence. Together we barrel in to this blazing building. Searching for someone who may have survived the scorching flames and smoke. By four a.m. we banish the blaze Chelsea Michalesko
Life The lovely life we live is rough, But through those terrible times hang tough.Those young, yet crazy years fly by, So take those treasures and do not be shy. Do not damage the magical memories you make,Because time is ticking and they may break Kristen Klock
From the BeginningIn the beginning, kindergartners kindly kidded on the playground Who became teenagers tensely teetering through high school. All along, laughing loudly with favorite friends, Through tough times and silly spills. Now nearly finished, we patiently ponder... What wonders are next and what will we become? We do not know but what we do is...We're the Class of ~09, strong and true.Melissa Welcom
Pop-TartsRobert BennetFudge-filled and flavorful foodDelightful, delectable, pieces of pastryTiresome, I turn on the toaster, to toast them tastierWhile waiting on the couch I fell fast asleepI woke with the worst fear, dangerous, dense smoke-filled airI extinguished extravagantly, eliminating the evasive flamesTragically, the tasty toaster product went badThis mess makes a meaningful moral, try not to make better, what was good you once had.
Cookie CravingMary Frances KlebonThe strong scent swept across the kitchen.My mouth watered while I was waiting.The timer ticked and I took them out.As the cookies cooled I calmly craved,the moistly, melted, mounds with milk.
Thanksgiving DayJessica PeaseGathering together to giggle and gababout meaningful moments and momentous occasions we’ve had.With an angelic aroma and alluring taste in the air,to not partake would be the ultimate waste.The voluptuous volcano of spuds venting with a golden wavebrings friends, family and foes together on this festive day
The RunwayKayla HoffmanModels wistfully walking down the runwayProudly prancing in a Prada suitGracefully gliding in a Gucci gownMarching merrily in maroon ManolosDuring this designers desperately await applause.
Shopping Aubry MadaraSporadically spending on a shopping spreeTrying on tons of shoes, tanks, and teesAeropostale, American Eagle, Abercrombie, and moreSearching for sales from store to storeThen pouting to the parking lot now pathetically poor.
Wild Horses-Jennifer Mereby-Fiercely fleeting through the fields,Hardy hooves hit the ground.Mangled manes and tattered tails,Whishing wildly in the wind. Few totter to a tip toeing trot,While some prance like proud princes.Oh wild horses, where did you begin?Oh wild horses, where do you end?
My AngelGeralee SlotterbackShe fatefully flew last somber summer,To the gracious and giving hands of the holyI see her sitting on a cluster of clouds,Watching and waiting so weightlesslyMy amorphous angel, so tremendous and truePlease just remember I’ll always love you.
Missed Shot –Off the MarkJena Hampton The sweat, running rapidly down his dreary face,The crowd; chanting and cheering for the team.He sits at center court with his head held heavywishing and wondering why,his shot fell shockingly short of the game-winning basket.
Dead On. – Not Off the Mark . Dave AdamsStillness and silence as I sit shivering,The cold calms my ranting, raging heart.Something’s stomping and loosely lingering to my left.I slowly solemnly peek to see a peering brown buck.A marvelous monster stomping slowly across an open field.I rhythmically rise my rifle aiming.With crosshairs terrifically on target,Pulling the trigger the marvelous monster falls.A fruitful flowing feeling flows through my body.
