But sometimes I hate being on spotlight because I stutter then I start to klutter. But sometimes I need to be on spotlight to face my fears and let people know what I have to say. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poem by Samantha AS I SIT HERE As I sit here by the waterfall I think of something new I wanna go to the mall to get a skirt in blue As I sit here on a smooth rock I think of something old As I was canoeing I hit a dock It had dirt, rust, and mold As I sit here on a rainy day I'm thinking of my home About the campsite by the bay Just writing this simple poem -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art by Stevon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poem by Desean LIFE As I look at the lake I think of a big juicy steak. As I look back I think of my past. I think of the city blocks filled with violence and gore. My life is like a spinning barrel each turn has a chance and consequence. Life is an outcome from some bumping and grinding without protection. My life has great value and I love to live. So I enjoy life as it passes me by. Life has an opening and closing, beginning and an ending. This is the middle of my life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Writing by Khalil The sight is so nice. The trees are in a far away distance across the water. The water is glistening with a beautiful light on it coming from the sun. I can hear birds chirping, I can smell fresh clean air. I can feel the warm sand between my fingers. Last night when I sat down talking to Storm (Jessica) I saw the most beautiful sky ever. I saw stars which I don't see in the city and Storm pointed out the Big Dipper which led to the North Star. I also had a great time when Adam taught a way to turn the canoe without switching sides. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poem by Christina PEACEFUL HARMONY When I rest and close my eyes I think of peace. I hear flutes and drums that fills my heart with harmony, soothing body spirit and soul bring me at peace. I feel loved I feel free when I close my eyes In peaceful harmony. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rap by Troy OUTLAWZ We are the Outlawz Seeing with new eyes We looked suprised We made it to the top We don't stop We working hard days eating some gourmet We had hard times but we still makin' some rhymes We always show off to another group that we the best Every time you know it we always rest but we are bless Doin' what we got to do we always argue but it ain't nothing We bring the power, we bring the strength, we bring the confidence That we got in ourselves. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art by Samantha
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poem by Simone NEW EYES As I sit here on this rock near this huge waterfall, I come to realize how big the world is and how I am really small. The world revolved around my neighborhood I thought, but now I know that isn't the case, There are new experiences, new obstacles that I must face. The importance of life I know I must come to realize, The only way to do that is to taste with new tongues, smell new smells, and definitely learn to see with new eyes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poem by Christina HERE You see a bright light Weather is warm, birds and bugs chirping and humming People are jolly breathing fresh air While thinking to yourself what is this place Look at the sky full of clouds The sun is happy you think to yourself then you relize you are in heaven. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Folding Poem by the Outlawz TROY: We hiked on a mountain it didn't have no fountain, STEPHANIE: One hundred steps to the top I was countin'. STEVON: Yes indeed we did complain, KHALIL: While we hiked up the mountian in the rain. SAMANTHA: As we teach steps in the wind, SIMONE: Our hard journey up Giant Mountain is soon to begin. MICHAEL: When tomorrow comes a new day starts, DESEAN: We part from camp learning new arts. CHRISTINA: While we navigate from our site, JESSICA: Our crew's direction sheds new light. ADAM: As we step towards the end we've made friends that are tight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poem by Michael DRAGONFLY A dragonfly landed on me today. He moved out of his way to land on me today. He flew around and found Camp Interactive AKA Outward Bound. He landed on me twice. He picked me out of random like when you roll a dice. He gave me luck because before this the trip started to suck. He made my day great. I'm having fun but I still want to go home and I can't wait. I think the dragonfly is going to help me home, So I can go home and take a bath and use a comb. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poem by Stevon KELLY'S POINT On the sand of kelly point we are From civilization we are so far We are close to the stars And maybe closer to mars But through the hard times I'm having fun Although I wish I had a big cherry bun And now I am sitting in the hot flaming sun. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art by Christina
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poem by Khalil WATERFALL The waterfall is so nice I wonder in the winter does it turn to ice? It feels good to see the water
rush down and fall like they just put a sale price up at the mall. The salmon swim upstream, I don't know why and the water pulls them but fails at its try. Waterfalls are beautiful and so much fun, I hope in the future that you see one. ==========================================================================================
