The VOICE

of LMS

Just a learner,

An earner,

A table turner.

A bad cook;

A water burner.

Just an artist,

Not the smartest,

Not the sweetest,

Not the tartest.

Just a girl,

Many curls,

Ready,

To give,

Life a whirl.

Just a person with a dream,

Standing tall, ready to scream,

Ideas as rich as triple cream,

Oozing a vibe,

That seems to gleam.

Just is overrated,

Duplicated,

Complicated.

And if I took away all the ‘justs,’

She’d be quite robust,

And you, my friend,

Would be nonplussed.

Just

I need to find a place

Where I can be me

I need to find a place

Where I can be free

I need to find a place

Where people won’t judge

Where nobody holds a grudge

I need to find a place

Where everyone loves everyone

A place where the world is one

I Need to Find A Place

What He Took With Him

by Osiris Leggett - 8th grade

What He Took With Him

His three piece suit and 5 more,

A week’s worth of spray tan,

His tower and half the White House staff

With the CIA, a metric ton of trump bricks

Orange, the same brand his father made,

A small loan of one million dollars and some change,

A fresh pair of kicks in a box,

A book (“The Art Of The Deal”), some new white socks,

Some of the negativity, one red tie, his mother’s car,

His father’s broken one, all their memes

What he left behind:

The white coloured house, receiving its next president;

His old shoes, (oops!);the country,

Wondrous for surviving World War 3

Hair

by Mia Boisvert- 8th grade

by Micah Hawxhurst - 5th grade Grade 8

Strands of hair

are like pieces of me

They cover things up

I don't want people to see

Layers of my soul

Only true friends know

Outsiders don't see

what's truly inside me

Robots
