Walking
I...was...walking trough the forest
I...was...walking trough the forest
with Jem holding my hand
I'm the craziest ham
I was walking by the tree
what did I see
It was Bob Ewell trying to stab me
then I heard a bad crack as Jem fell on his back
walked to the street got to my feet
and I saw Boo Radley and Jem he was hurt pretty badly
I went to talk to Atticus about Bob being mad at us
then we called the doctor for Jem
he said he’d be there in ten
the doctor checked Jem
and thanked Boo for helping them
and the sheriff wasn’t clappin after he heard what happened
my costume saved me
the knife didn’t even graze me
I walked boo home
after we heard Jem broke a bone
so that’s our story
it could have been gory
but boo was there to save us so bob couldn’t take us
now boo was a hero and bob is a zero

William Harrison
They wanted “Boo” Radley to come out
Dill came and they try to get him to come out
Things were in a knothole of a tree
His way of communicating with the world
His uncle knew
It filled it with cement
They imagine him as a monster
Scout thinks he is more
Dill, Jem, and Scout want to be friends with “Boo”
Tom was accused of rape
There is no way out
People can’t face the truth
A white man told a lie a black told the truth
To set him free
Guilty… guilty… guilty… guilty were the words
Atticus tried, tried, and tried again
To set him free
There is no chance at all
Because tom is black
His wife is broken
She has to get a job there is no father for her children
Shot seventeen times he could not be saved
He was a cripple and a mockingbird
Yet he was convicted
Halloween pageant with scout as a ham
She is too late on the stage
Jem and she head home
She hears a “crunch” her costume breaks
They are saved by “Boo”
He tried to murder children before he died

Boo Radley
He doesn’t come out, no one knows why.
He only comes out when someone’s about to die.
He saved their life once,
Underneath the dark sky.
There are many stories about his life,
But no one knows the truth.
Come out wherever you are we need help were, not that far.
He won’t come out and no one knows why.
They seen him once wasn’t so great.
But he helped them, now they appreciate.
He went back inside and won’t come back out,
Will he be there when they need his help?
They wait and wait for him to come back,
But no one comes
They never look back.
They keep on going but think and think,
Will he ever come back?
Scout and Jem are curious to see him again.
He sits inside, and wonders what to do.
Should he finally go out?
Or stay inside?
It’s Boo Radley he came to help.
They see who he is and what he did,
They don’t see him as a bad person anymore.
He doesn’t come out, no one knows why.
He only comes out when someone’s about to die.
He saved their life once,
Underneath the dark sky.
There are many stories about his life,
But no one knows the truth.
Come out wherever you are we need help were, not that far.
He won’t come out and no one knows why.
They seen him once wasn’t so great.
But he helped them, now they appreciate.
He went back inside and won’t come back out,
Will he be there when they need his help?
They wait and wait for him to come back,
But no one comes
They never look back.
They keep on going but think and think,
Will he ever come back?
Scout and Jem are curious to see him again.
He sits inside, and wonders what to do.
Should he finally go out?
Or stay inside?
It’s Boo Radley he came to help.
They see who he is and what he did,
They don’t see him as a bad person anymore.

Racism Poem
What is with the world and discrimination?
People are being judged all across the nation.
What’s the difference between black and white?
We are all the same people with equal rights.
Being judged for the color of skin,
Even though we are the same from toe to chin.
The world used to be full of hate.
Now we treat each other the same for common fate.
Singling someone out because of the color of skin,
It’s just not right, and you will never win.
We should care for what’s on the inside,
We should help even when it’s hard to hide.
Loving one another is what we should do.
We can all help each other get through.
When we all love and care,
There is so much more that we can share!
Tom Robinson was a great man.
He was very brave now I’ll always be a fan!
Atticus helped when no one else would,
He would help the world if only he could.
Tom died for something he didn’t do.
Now his family has to start brand new.
If only everyone were like Atticus,
Then we would love and not be racist.

Revolviong World By: Aeron Nelson
Revolving World
The world revolves like a bullet
Like the bullet from a fatal gun
Spinning rapidly toward the ever moving target
Sometimes you hit and feel successful
Sometimes you miss and feel like a failure
You hit the target
Oryou don’t
It’s a 50-50 chance
You wound
Or
You kill
You get what you want or nothing
At all
You only have one shot
You take it
Or
You leave it
It is for you to decide
But if not taken
The chance may not come again
The world revolves around like a bullet
It twists
It turns
It goes the way you want
Or
The world revolves like a bullet
Like the bullet from a fatal gun
Spinning rapidly toward the ever moving target
Sometimes you hit and feel successful
Sometimes you miss and feel like a failure
You hit the target
Oryou don’t
It’s a 50-50 chance
You wound
Or
You kill
You get what you want or nothing
At all
You only have one shot
You take it
Or
You leave it
It is for you to decide
But if not taken
The chance may not come again
The world revolves around like a bullet
It twists
It turns
It goes the way you want
Or
it doesn’t
M'Cayla Christensen, TKM Poem
Why?
He comes out when needed,
he makes you feel safe.
He cares for you,
and no one knows why.
Many people lie about his life,
But no one knows what he’s really like,
scout finds out the truth,
Now she knows why.
He is always waiting,
Waiting to help.
He won’t show his face,
And no one knows why.
They try to talk to him,
But people laugh and stair,
Jem knows his true colors,
Now he knows why.
He just sits there in his house,
All alone in the dark,
He thinks over his life,
now many know why.
He comes out when needed,
he makes you feel safe.
He cares for you,
and no one knows why.
Many people lie about his life,
But no one knows what he’s really like,
scout finds out the truth,
Now she knows why.
He is always waiting,
Waiting to help.
He won’t show his face,
And no one knows why.
They try to talk to him,
But people laugh and stair,
Jem knows his true colors,
Now he knows why.
He just sits there in his house,
All alone in the dark,
He thinks over his life,
now many know why.
They finally see him,
Now they know why.
He leaves, they never see him,
He never looks back.
Now they know why.
He leaves, they never see him,
He never looks back.
