Malachi’s Room

by Malachi Murphy

 Malachi turned on his console,

A beep came from it.

Left to right the tv screen flashed,

Asqueak came from his guinea pigs. 

Chirping from the birds outside,

His room is clean.

In his house, lays his sleeping cat.

The Storm

By Malachi Murphy

The Rain was falling like cats and dogs

The thunder went boom in the distance,

Clouds covered the sky in darkness.

When it stopped,

The clouds cleared the sky.

The sun shined

Seasons

By Malachi Murphy

 Winter Summer

The snow is resting, As it gets hotter,

It is calm and quiet. Work gets harder and sweat insues.

The fire is bright with light. As the heat rises,

Spring The air looks wavy as you go outside.

The thunder goes boom. Autumn

As the rain gets quit the clouds clear,  Wind fills the air,

The sun shines clearly in the sky. The trees change color

  Enjoy the color while it lasts

Medieval Times

By: Malachi Murphy

Pillage 

Screams in the distance,

People running a village burning.

Bandits taking what they can.

Animals are dead, 

Houses destroyed. 

There is mass chaos.

Dragons lair

A cave only lit by torches.

It goes deep into the earth, 

At the end a large pile of shining gold

At the top sleeps a giant dragon,

It has white scales and a tan under belly.

Its scales sparkle in the light.

Love 

By Malachi Murphy

There's more meaning behind the word of love, 

It's not simple to explain. 

There's many mixed feelings, 

None of the same. 

Love to some means happiness, 

To others it brings tears. 

And once you've fallen into it, 

You're stuck with it for years.

There's no escaping love with ease, 

For it takes quite some time. 

Some never find the exit out,

For their love is called blind. 

There's the love we have for family, 

And another love for friends. 

Then there's that one special love, 

That lasts and never ends.
