List Poems from Ebinger

Patricia Z.(3rd grade)

Reasons to be Afraid of the Dark

I am scared of the dark because:

the floor feels like it is about to crack,

the branches of the trees feel like they are opening a door and taking me away,

the snoring feels like devils chanting, laughing, and walking in the town,

the spiders feel like they are going to bite me and

the coldness in my bed feels like I'm sleeping in the snow.

Reasons I will never be a pirate

I was not born a pirate.

I don't have a peg leg.  I have regular legs.

I do not have an eye patch.

I can't fight and I don't know how to use a sword.

I will not live on a boat/ship.

I don't know how to raise the flag.

I don't want to hear pirate songs because they are lame.

I wouldn't want to be on a ship/boat for months.

I want a regular life, not a pirate's.

Types of "Phobias"

Timberphobia: the fear of Timber wolves chasing you around a kitchen

tale while wearing socks on a newly waxed kitched floor.

Offinphobia: the fear that some how, some where, a duck is watching you.

Bandinphobia: the fear that a flock of geese will swoop down and throw

you into a bog.

Awarephobia: the fear that once you go to sleep, a mob will come and

throw you into an asylum.

Paretalphobia: the fear that once you take your eyes off your child,

they will turn their room into a bedlam.

Reasons I Will Never Be Darth Vader

I was not born a Jedi.

I did not almost get killed.  I have legs

but they aren't black.  I was born a person

but a regular person.  Darth Vader

has a real light saber but I do not.

Darth Vader has a mask and I don't.

Darth Vader has a mask to breathe

and I do not.  Darth Vader died but I did not.

Darth Vader is black all around himself

and I am not.

Joey M. (3rd grade)

Things I am scared of

Future dictatorship

Sun losing hydrogen

Girls taking over

King Kong (he has to smash everyone and everything)

Falling off a cliff into hammerhead sharks

Romance and more importantly...

LOVE!!!!

Daniel C. (3rd grade)

Reasons I'm Scared of Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp is scary because he's freaky.

He face is like a purple plum.

I hate plums.

He smells like spinach.

The smell of spinach is bad.

I would never want to be Johnny Depp.

He is too tall for me to reach his hair.

I should be taller.

Haley S.(3rd grade)

Reasons I wouldn't be a Good Pirate

I don't have a pirate hat.

I am not a boy.

My hair is not black.

I don't have an eye patch.

I cannot drive a ship or a boat.

I do not have holes in my shirt.

I do not have short hair.

I do not have a parrot that talks.

I do not have a sword.
