poetry for school.

 We live on the sea
Away from humanity
It’s peaceful here
Living without a care
But when the weather is rough
We let the sails luff
Because we know it’s nothing we can’t bare
And if it’s too much we will send out a flare,
Get in our life raft, there’s nothing to fear
Well wait, together for our rescuers to appear
Then well buy some tickets and get on a plane
Well go back to our friends in the city of rain
And we’ll make I say, but we might have to sell
Some valuable things, but we’ll have a story to tell
But most importantly, we’ll have each other
Marcus, my mom, my sister and my brother
Because things are just things, something we crave
But people are people, something we must save

Far, far away, my friends would say
Far, far away, even I would say
Far, far away, from anything familiar
Far, far away, I decay, a stray
Far, far away, I thrive, alive
Far, far away, I live and I learn
Far, far away, I stay, I stay

the ocean is a bully

I'm doing poetry for school this week... so i got it all over with and this is what happened

Tough weather ahead
Sea sickness keeps me in bed
At least I’m not dead

I throw out my lure
It looks so tantalizing
But the fish won’t bite

I live on a boat
With my two younger siblings
It sucks being me

I’m in Mexico
Away from all of my friends
For an entire year

Time sure does fly, when
There’s nothing to do all day.
I need internet

The sea bullies me
It took my cameral and
Won’t give me any fish


Siblings annoy you
No matter what they’re doing
And that is a fact

I’m not a fisherman
I am a fish murderer
No mercy for food

My favorite food
And favorite animal
I’m so conflicted
