The Poems That Had No Votes

Well the title is almost true. The first two poems got one vote each. But the rest had none.

Anyway enjoy the last 9 poems.

Poem 11- Lexicon Elixir (age 14)

Lexicon Elixir

I’m making a spectacular elixir

I’m using a vast lexicon

By the time I have finished the elixir

Most of the lexicon will be gone

I’ll start off nice and simple

But get ever more complicated

And by the time I’ve finished

You’ll be completely befuddled

My elixir shall have a box

Containing a fabulous paradox

And also winter’s equinox

Poem 14- Meteor- (age 14)

Meteor

A flash of light enters the sky

As a rock with a blazing tale goes by

As a fiery rent breaks up the clouds

And a whistling sound is heard

A meteor

It’s surface is craggy with craters and hills

All burning with fire and lights

As they spread out behind it

In a rainbow of flames

A crackling inferno

And it shrinks as it travels

It gradually shrivels

To a rock

And it crashes into the Earth

With giant billows of dust

And expires

Poem 7- Finding a Nutterjack (age 14)- First in Nutterjack Quartet

Finding a Nutterjack

One day I found a Nutterjack

I don’t know what it is

But apparently I found one

As the poem says I did

Poem 18- Ode to a Nutterjack (age 14) Second poem in Nutterjack Quartet

Ode to A Nutterjack

I found another Nutterjack

To him I dedicate this ode

As I found out what a Nutterjack is

It’s simply a rare type of toad

Poem 31- The Nutterjack (age 14) Third poem in the Nutterjack Quartet

The Nutterjack

I keep on finding Nutterjacks

As this one brings it up to three

Instead of keeping it in a cage

I’ve let it roam wild and free

Poem 17- Nutterjacks Forever (age 14)- The final poem in the Nutterjack Quartet

Nutterjacks Forever

This is the last Nutterjack that I ever found

And with this I conclude all my odes

The Nutterjacks survived till the end of the world

And my next poem’s all about toads.

Poem 21- Poppies (age 14)

Poppies

As the blood red poppies bob in the breeze

Sprinkled through the fields of corn

They are joyful and happy

Swaying in the dawn

Of the summer skies

The individual petals

Crimson like cherries

Form a flower

As beautiful as the prairies

From whence they came

Poem 24- Seven Wonders (age 14)

Seven Wonders

The Mausoleum of Maussollos

And down in Rhodes we’ve a Colossus

There is the Temple of Artemis

While Egypt has Great Pyramids

We’ve three more wanders that’s the truth

A statue of the Great God Zeus

We also have a great idea

A lighthouse in Alexandria

Our final wonder the very last one

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

Poem 29- The Iceberg (age 14)

The Iceberg

Its sereneness and beauty is not what it seems

As it floats on a sea, crystal clear

As above it is white as a pearl, shining bright

But below it it chaos and fear

Let us take the unsinkable ship, (but it sank)

The ship that was known as The Titanic

It was steaming along with no fear in the world

Iceberg hits, and there’s terror and panic
