"A Close Call"

Last week I got into a fight with my best friend.
It was definitely something we needed to mend.
I believe it was caused by lack of communication,
And her thinking I had changed was the motivation.            
For a few days she gave me the cold shoulder,
While I was sinking lower and lower.
At the end of the week I was finally done,
And decided to text her about what we had become.
She responded as if nothing were wrong,
So I poured my heart out in a message that was so long.
She said she was sorry for everything that went on,
And I, too, apologized and wanted to move on.
Losing your best friend feels like the end of the world,
But it's not once your problems become unfurled.
My friend and I finally fixed things,
And we tied up all the loose strings.
We promised each other we would never fight,                  
And always look towards the positive light.

"Basketball Ruined Our Fun...For Now!"

I work at our town's middle school

As a latchkey counselor which is really cool.

We would go in the gym everyday

And do crazy things in every way.

But as of this week,

Our options of fun are looking pretty bleak.

Since basketball season just began

The coaches are telling us and the kids to scram.

Now we barely have anything to do

And with winter coming we don't even have a clue!

We could play board games or go on the computer.

Or we could all just sit around and stare at each other.

On Tuesday at work a thought came to me:

"Why don't we make the most of what we have?" was my plea.

The World's Hardest Game is what we always play

And try to see who can get to the highest level at the end of the day.

Plenty of shooting and strategy games to go around

And whenever someone wins they always make a loud sound.

So for now they'll have to suffer

Winter's long months and the computer games to buffer.




                           

"The Dreadful SATs"

Since SATS are such a big test

Everyone tries to do their best.

We wake up at 7 in the morning,

And pray it is not pouring.

It's a day where we can dress like a bum

Because our hands are certain to go knumb

From all the writing we will be doing.

By the time the test comes around,

I have realized that I found

It really isn't that bad!

The only things I have to do

Are concentrate and read the clues.

About four and a half hours later

The test is finally over!

All I have to do now

Is wait and see how I did.

Before the test I was so nervous,

But afterwards I felt it was a piece of cake.

"First Day of School Dilemma!"

First day of senior year

Has finally arrived here.

My only problem of the day

Was what to wear that said, "Yay!"

Since I had to dress according to the weather,

I knew I could immediately cross out anything leather.
Should I wear a skirt or a dress?
Either, as long as I don't look like a mess.
How about a t-shirt or a tank top?
No, no it has to have something that pops.
Maybe something with a fancy design?

Definitely nothing that has a rude sign.

I have to feel comfortable but look nice.

Hm, maybe I should wear something with a little spice?

But certainly nothing that can tear,

Oh what will I wear?!
