You Will Start A Song

“Lyrics"

Hanna Hart

 

Keep on drawing

Keep on doing it

Keep on doing it

Whoo - hot mama

Go baby go

Keep on writing

Focus

 

Go george

Go by the new house on the prairie by the boat

When you get to my village

You will start a song

And when you finish you can turn on this tune all you want

 

Castle

We wanna go in there

It's a big house and we will go to the castle and live there

And we will go to a big room

With a big table and a long bed

And we will have a drawbridge down the road

 

We must go down to the river street

When we get down to the river street

We might get to know each other

And I will have a

Beautiful ambulance squad

To meet you

 



 

Little Jack Horner

Darren Powers

 

Little Jack Horner

Sat in a corner

Eating his curds and pie

Stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plumb

And said

What a good boy am I

 

I'm so stiff and sore

I just don't feel like getting up and moving

Give me two aspirin

When I am feeling good I do things

Like play games and watch tv

Listen to music and hang out outside

When it's warm

 

I wish to heck there could be something done about my body

I'm so stiff and sore

I wish they could tell me exactly what's wrong

Can you understand that

 



Green, Red, and Yellow Sweater

Darren Powers

 

Baby has a funny looking sweater on

Mom wore it the day before she died

It was mended up and sewn together

 

She wore it when it was cold out

She looked pretty nice

 

Mom wore it outside

When she sat on the porch

When she felt cold

She wore it



Wonderful Dreams

Angela Elder

 

I cried when mom fell and was put in the hospital

I cried when I had to have surgery

I cried when my grandmother and grandfather died

On my mom's side

I cried when grandma elder died

 

I used to live in louisville kentucky

On a street I don't remember

My house was small and white

My room was pink and small and very beautiful

It was like a fantasy land to me

It had many toys and dolls

I had 950 animals and 380 dolls and one special bear

Whom I've had since I was born

My carpet was pink and my curtains were pink with Yellow dolls on them

 

When I die I want to be buried next to

My mom and dad

When I die my bedroom will be a yellow cloud

It will sparkle and shine brightly

This cloud will have my name on it 

 



 I See A Woman

Barbara Elder

Amanda Jones 

 

I see a woman

Hair black and curly

It's in her eyes

I see her black eyes

Her nose is tan

I see a hat

She is going to a costume party

She is a butterfly

I see a mountain

I see a woman



Mediums in Trance

Barbara Moore

Crystal Bader

  

Eyes closed

Hand over his heart

Like he's pledging allegiance But he's not

 

Mediums in trance

Speak with spirit voices

 

She's sleeping

Wearing earrings

Hair curled

Wearing the high priestess robe

Bifocals on her nose

But she can't see

 

Mediums in trance

Speak with spirit voices

 

Old woman looking at them

Wondering what they're doin'

Wide eyed Trance-like



Celestial Presence

"Group Poem"

 

You are cute and beautiful

You are very pleasant

It's hard to figure out

Just something strange

Just one of those things

Just something I've never done before

 

I sky

Fly high

Try to fly high in the sky

You are very pleasant

It's just the way it is
