Poem: Love

LOVE

Times are hard but love is sweet.
The smell of her perfume over whelms me.
When I’m with her I fell like I can fly.
With out you I fell like I’m going to die.
My parent doesn’t like you but I’ve gone to love you.
When nobodies there your always there to comfort me.

Poem: Roses and Violets

Roses and violets

Roses are red violets are blue
You are so sweet that is true
I love the way you make me fell
I love the way you hold me tight
I love the way you talk and sound
I love the way you kiss me now
I like the way you cook and clean
My love for you is oh so real
I would never make you fill bad or hate
If I do then all I would like to say
I love you and adios.

Poem: Emotionless Day

“Emotionless day “

Happy, hate, horrified, sadness, anger, and loneliness
Haven no emotion is the best
No worries about anything
Or disliking anyone
Cause your just waiting for the day to be done
You could see a smile upon my face
And you wouldn’t know I’m having a emotionless day

Poem: Get Me Out

“Get me out”
Every day I wake up and say.
Man I’m still here,
I wish I can make all this disappear.
I woke up to a buzzer noise.
Looked around and saw brick walls,
Then I heard welcome to Orange Count juvinahall.
Walked out side still asleep,
Until I saw some fool trying to creep.
He hit me up, asked me were I’m from,
I told him and then that leva swung his mop to my doam.
I ducked got him with a left and then a right.
Because when your in here you can’t leave without a fight.
I’m in my room playing spades with my roommate,
I looked outside and all these fools want to hate.
Man please get me out.

Poem

Always there even if I came late
Mad inside but wouldn’t show the hate
Telling me” Cindy one day you’ll change”
“I hope it’s soon before I walk away”
I don’t want to see her cry
But then again I go outside and get in the ride
She gave me birth and held me close
And that’s why she’s the women I love the most

Poem: Krystal

Krystal

I have lots to think about
With the times we’ve spent.
I feel like I have walked into
A dark black cave. I am a stranded
Soul that no one can save.I look back
And see what I have done. Now I see
How far we have come. I look into the
Mirror and all I see I’m eye to eye
With nothing but a slum. There’s a
Fear that I try to over come. When
I’m with you it just makes me numb.
I feel like I’m staring down the barrel
Of a gun. Now I see how far we have
Really come.

Poem

It stated at the age of 12
Didn’t care for a single soul
Fighting, drinking, smoking
Can’t stop her now she’s way blown
Doing everything she can feeling grown
No hesitation, no regrets
Is her every day say
The pain and the tears
Won’t make her change her ways
Feeling like giving up on her
But I can’t why? because I love
Her to death

Poem: Hard Times

Hard Times

When times are hard what do I do?
In times of joy what do I do?
When I’m in pain what do I do?
I fell lost with out you.
I need you by my side.
I fell to my knees and asked you forever.
You laughed and told me never.
When times are hard what do I do?
I look in to my eyes and all I see is you.

Clean my tears on them.

Poem: My Girl

My girl

I wish you were my girl
Like the sunshine I get
In a cloudy day
And
You are the girl
That is meant for me
Is just how the
Honey was meant for
The bee’s to eat
And I have a sweeter girl
Than the birds singing a
Sweeter song
I guess the only girl
That can make me
Fill this way is
The girl I can’t have
Everyday
My girl

Poem

8 years old
And already fighting for my soul
Scared inside but I couldn’t let go
Every night having to stay up
Waiting and waiting until he knocked on that door
I couldn’t say no, or he would die on his own
My mom far away
Where I couldn’t call her name
Who could I go to, so I can get away
I’m there with my sisters, with no way to escape
Praying and crying so he could change
But I guess my prayers weren’t strong
Because he’s still stumbling down the hall.

Poem: Thinking

Thinking

I’m stuck, can’t move,
But I always seem to go back,
Sobriety conceives me.

Because of a balloon of black,
I ran, got stuck,
Now there’s no turning back.

Seems as if these ways,
Have taken over,
Now just give ‘em back.

Why can’t I just be me?
What do they want?

Poem: Darkness

Darkness


Darkness is like my soul
With all the hate
Inside of it
And I rather live during
The night
Then the day
Because night
Is like my death
With all the anger and
The hate
This people have with
My race
And I rather be in
Hell
Then in heaven
Because in hell I
Can just be myself.

Poem: Decision

Decision

And time yet for
A hundred indecisions
I finally grow some balls
And made my decision
Curled once about the
House
And fell asleep
There will be time,
There will be time
Later on in the after life time
And would it been
Worth it
After all that time
And would of it been worth it
We have lingered in the chamber
Of the sea
Than I will become old
With a bald spot in the middle
Of my hair
And lay their all by my own

Poem: Football

The football

There once was a football
That wanted to go through the net
But it once called a net it was a field goal
and he finally kicked it through and made a field goal

Poem: Sun Shine

Sun shine

Sun shining with bright
Lights and crushing bright lights
Of sun shining very bright heat waves
Flashing and the sun was finally not bright and it becomes night

Poem: Thunder Clouds

Thunder clouds

Black and gray
On a bad day you
See thunder and you
Will be true me
Happy pappy the cat

Poem: Lust

Lust

Your lips, your smell, your touch
I can’t help but think its lust,
But when I look into your eyes
I can’t help but fall.

Peom: Advice

Advice

There is pain I see in your eyes.
Emotions run by that you try to hide.
You have been through good and bad.
You have seen a lot of things that will never fade.
Don’t give up their subsequent downfalls
that you will surpass.
Through a brick wall
there is a soul that cares.
Show it, let it free
A lot have hurt and deceived you.
Don’t lose hope keep your happiness
They might let you down
but that makes you stronger.
Yes its rare but you know I’m there.
No matter what has been said,
time passes by and I still care

Poem: Never Again

Never Again

You were their before I turned around and walked down that hall way,
when I turned to see you again you were gone
and never came back.
Never leave me behind without saying goodbye.
Never leave me behind without resting your lips on mine one last time.
Kiss me with meaning and sensitivity.
Hold me as if we’d never see each other again.
Caress my body like never before.
Whisper in my ear what you think I want to hear.
Promises you’ll remember the memories of our secret rendezvous.
Promise you’ll never leave me behind with out saying goodbye,
Promises you’ll never leave me behind,
With out resting your lips, on mine, one last time.

Every time I dream it always a bout you

your man left you and you was sad
I gave you my shoulder to cry on
I told you that it was ok
and that most guys are going to do that to you
Two weeks later you asked me out
I said Yes
Together forever and ever that’s what we said
It’s now six months
and were still together planning our future together

Hold you.

I don't want to let go,
But I have to
When I look into your eyes
Is the best feeling ever
Is like a natural high.
You’re like my phone
Always want to have you
Around.
And always hold you,
Play with you,
And see you
Dang I wish I had you.

Hammy

Acts like he is hard,
doesn’t care about people,
won’t get to know new people.
Gang member loving, caring,
easy to get along with,
skinny and really good looking.
You can see past the act.
You can see the sadness in his eyes,
the desire for his mom to love him.
Desire for some to care about him
like he cares about people.
The desire to have a family
to have someone around
to tell him what to do.
Desire of being loved.

Haiku's by Lesli

Sickness

Each day I hack and
Cough and snuffle the mucus
In my nose and throat


Cowboys

Chaps and hats, tight jeans
Riding broncos and bucking
Bulls. They are real men.


Sunset

She bows gracefully
At the end of the evening,
Welcoming the night.


Summit

Crowded halls. Strutting
Students mark territory
Like male dogs in heat.


Photography

Click of the shutter
Shift of the lens – focusing.
Artistic beauty.


Shoes

Patent leather with
Four inch heels raising me up
To over six feet.


The Ring

It has a wide band
With a single solitaire
One caret diamond.


Bills

They come every day
Except on Sundays and I
Let them pile on up.


Madness

Padded walls inside
My head, blocking the daylight
Of my clear thinking.


Happiness Is

Being my own boss.
Walking my own street. Going
Down my own pathways.

There once was a boy
Walking around the high school
Inhaling bad smoke.

Walking on through camellias

You’re here I would not be here
If you weren’t here.

Down to earth if your
Down for mine I’ll be there when
You need a friend me.

Nothing but talk and it gets
Old just a little fast

Poem: Cell

While I’m sitting in this cell
it feels like hell,
I can’t even make bail.
I don’t even get mail,
I have a son, I know he is looking for mom while I’m gone,
but I will hold strong,
and mommas sorry for being a bad mom.
You come in with a big smile for mommas trial
and the judge looks at her file and your sol says no but the judge said sorry kid but momma goats to go.
I guess what I meant to say sorry son for being gone
and for not being a good mom.
I’m doing cool so I could get out and walk you to school.
They might only give me two more years
but I will be good to stop your tears.

Poem: My Rosary

“My Rosary”

As I walk on the concrete with 63 beads
And a cross around my neck
Just thinking of my future
And what to do next
The steps to take as the world feel like a maze
Got my head feeling twisted
And I got all this pressure building in my chest
And I know that this rosary is the only thing keeping me safe.

Poem: Another Day

“Another day”

Every day is another day.
But to me it’s insanity.
Every day is another day
But to me it seems the same, I feel the same way.
I always seem to hide the way I feel inside; I replace it by being happy,
Like if I was high on life.
Every day seems to be another day but when I look outside my eyes see the sky gray.
My heart dropped when my judge said no because he judged me by my race and because I gang bang.
But hey what can I do what can I say.
I did my time like it was nothing when go insane.
I just laugh and hold inside my pain.
Some people ask me why I gang bang some understand some walk away.
I’ve seen close friends pass away I hold it inside and let built up into hate and pain.
And wait for someone to take me to my grave.
“Every day is another day”

Poem: To My Sister

To my sister

Not even words can describe that what your doing is wrong .
I can’t get through you because you say I did it to.
Now you’re out there running around with out a clue.
I can’t make you change, but I can help you be straight.
Don’t follow my example and don’t play my game.

Poem: The Sun

The Sun

He wakes me up in the morning with a big burst of energy
The night was dead and cold
When I awake
I can’t wait to feel his fingers and hands
Running along my skin
Relieving my chills and goose bumps.

Poem: Music

Music

Music breaths deep into my soul
Form that first listen. From that
First strum from that first beat
I get energy form my head to my feet
It makes me disappear. In to the night and I don’t come
Back for the rest of my life
So in tell that first not. Until that first strum
I will breath I will live Until I can disappear into the music again

Poem: You Are the Reason

You are the reason

You are 80% of the reason
Why I wake up every morning.
The other 10 is to take a piss,
the other 10 is to take a shower.
You are the reason
for why I don’t walk away everyday.
You are the best!
My one and only reason
why.

Poem: It Never Works

IT NEVER WORKS.

The system thinks that it will help us
But the truth is it never works
It’s all a front,
When we get out we are still
Going to smoke that
Blunt
We make them believe our lies
Make them think
Their program is working
So we can get back home to the girls
So we can keep on flirting
We don’t want to change why should we
If we do the whole crew
Will put us to shame
I can’t let the homies drop me
So I will not change
The system will never work

Poem: How Long

How long

How long will he stick around?
Is he still going to be here tomorrow.
How far can I push him?
Will he keep taking it?
I try to leave but never seem to be strong enough to.
You can look into his eyes and see right passed the lies.
You know he won’t do anything to hurt you.
Will we still be friends after?

Poem: Falling

Falling

Falling from the sky
Falling so fast don’t know
What to do slowly falling from the
Sky posted with a parachute don’t now
When to pull but when I come close to hitting
The ground I pull then…. I wake up

Poem: Monkeys in a Barrel

Monkeys in a barrel

We all know monkeys
But what about monkeys in a barrel
If they can roll so can we
Unlike humans monkeys are stupid
That doesn’t know how to think
The monkey likes to roll in his barrel
Just like me

Poem: Colors

This color rhymes with you

and it’s on the sky

this color is tight

it could even get you to fight.


People calling you names

and if you not from the same color gang

you don’t got game

man it’s a shame


because at the end

we are all the same.


This color could kill you

and it could never let you see

the real you.


You don’t know what you feel

but you have to keep it real

in other to not get killed.


But at the end it’s just a game.

Poem: Gunshots

Gunshots

Gun shots are going off down the street
I ran down the street with my Gun
to see what had happened.

My friend was holding someone and
when I got closer
I saw that it was his girlfriend.

He was bloody for holding her
We was all sad because she was your friend
I was calming him down because he wanted to seek revenge

She looked nice but now she is gone
Three days later we put her to rest.
Me and my friends stayed with him
so he didn’t go seek revenge.

Poem: My Love Jane

“My love Jane”

I woke up one day with nada to do,

So I got out my note book and started writing about you.

I love this girl her last name is Jane,

I love her so much she’s always in my brain.

She gots me flying high like a freaking plain.


When I step outside late at night she gives me a kiss and I could feel it inside.


When I think about you I go crazy

When I hang out with you all I get lazy.


I love my girl Jane,

And to prove my love I’ll even get tatted up your name.

My love Jane.

Poem: Freedom

Freedom

Freedom is the condition of being free


Freedom is the board beneath your feet,

The sand between your toes,

Freedom is voting,


Watching the sunset,

Sticking your head out the window feeling the breeze,


Freedom is sitting on your best horse,

Looking at nature, relaxing


What’s your freedom?

Poem: Gun

Gun

The feel of the cold metal on my side sends shivers up my spine.
Will I take someone else’s life or will I just risk mine.
Is it the fear of life or just the fear of death?
Who am I to decide the fate of a man’s life?
Who is he to decide mine?
As I stare down the barrel I thick?
Who am I?
What have I done?

Poem: Love?

“Love?”

At times love could hold you back
like your in a cell with cold metal bars
holding you back from your freedom and dreams

you feel like leaving
but you don’t want to break another heart
that loves you passionately,

I can’t figure out what to say,
cause I love to do things
that she won’t let me do

so I’m asking you to give back my freedoms
cause I still got my dreams
and I’ll always love you

Poem: Peace

What is peace?

Peace is old. Peace is new

Peace is love peace is hate

Peace is clean. Peace is green


Peace is you. peace is me

Peace is the time. Peace is mine

Peace. Is a way of life.

Peace is a way of death


Peace is fake peace is real

All around the world peace

Peace everywhere.

Poem: Life

Life

Life is like a hard game
no one can’t get through life with out getting into trouble
sometimes it’s about love
and being with someone who you love and who is good for
you and who will be
there for you and not leave you behind them and
sometimes life is about fighting a against the law
with some people and it’s about being with their family and friends
and life is about making the right choice
to get through life if now what to do in life.
Home girl and home boy

Poem: What I love of you

What I love of you

I love your lips and your beautiful eyes.
I love your voice,
I like the way you smile.
I love the way you are,
you’re the best girl I have ever met!
I don’t know you that well.
But seems the first day I met you,
I can’t stop thinking and dreaming of you!
And when I first saw you,
I said to myself wow
this is my angel
you are my baby girl!
I like the way you dress
I love you, you’re the best
I love the way you talk to me well sometimes,
and I love the fact that we look at each other,
and then we smile at each other after words.
I like your hair, and I love your beautiful soft skin.
But the most of all, is the you I see every day!

Poem: Rotted Corps

ROTTED CORPS

There were rotted bones
Skulls not toads, dead people
With pointed teeth gone for ever
With their chicken liver, bone of death
With some pointed claws not paws, weirded
Eyes with disaster of faith posters of death not
Living rotting corps smoked corps like smoking some
Ports.

Poem: The Goat and His Boat

The goat and his boat

There once was a goat that had a boat
Then one day he saw a cat
He asked the cat do you want to ride in my boat
The cat said only if you play with me and Mr. Bat.
So off they went into the sea
Then they saw a shark that likes to bark.
The shark said hi my name’s Mr. Dee
Then a huge wave hit
They all went overboard
And then Dee ate all of them.

Poem: Live, Love, Laugh

You are living.

Poem: Letters to Prison

Letters to Prison

I don’t want to write you.
I don’t know what to say.
You’re a loser.
I’m so disappointed in you.

I can’t write that.

What he wants to hear is:
I believe in you.
Which I don’t.
Everything will be fine.
Which it won’t.

You will never be okay.
How can I write that?
I can’t, so I won’t.

Sometimes we want to hear the lies.
Sometimes we don’t want the truth.

So, I’ll write:

Dear Jesse,

I don’t know what to say.

~Lesli

But, that is still a lie.

Bb - Betrayal
There are so many things that can happen in betrayal. In the case that I am talking about is the betrayal of a best friend. It was last summer the start of it that I was betrayed by my best friend his name was Jeff. He betrayed me by saying something I didn’t do. He told the security at my old school that I threaten to kill him and his family. I think it funny that he would betray someone who has kept him from getting in a lot of trouble with his girlfriends. I told his 6 girlfriend that he was with me when he was with of the other girls. This all started when I was talking to my ex-girlfriend about a problem we where having with something that I was doing. He butted in and I told him to “leave so I can talk to her” and he did so I told him would you please go by the tree then and he did when my ex-girlfriend told him “I will be fine” I gees the way I said it must have offended him because he raised a fist at me. After I talk to her he told the security that I threaten him and pulled a knife on him. That not a real friend if you ask me he just betrayed me by saying thing I never did and by dating my ex-girlfriend will I was in DT. Oh did I mention that he was the one that sent me to DT.

Mm - Morning Process
I never understood the morning process. Why would you morn someone that is dead. There is nothing that you can do to change that. Me I never did that I just remembered them by the memories that I have of them. Why do you have to have a grave for them or asses of them ether they just made people sad to visit or see the remains of the dead. The way I see it is if someone is dead then that person would not want you to morn over them just to remember them.

“Mornings seemed mysterious gifts” pg 33 Whirligig

I think that Brent needs to make restitution in the morning and be more productive.

I personally love this quote because it can mean anything that you pretty much want. Yes, the mornings always lead my day a good way. I think that in the morning you are more aware of your surroundings.
I am an early bird ,I love to wake up early and explore new things when nobody is around. I believe that when the sun comes up its time to get up and work but I hate wasting time laying around.
Quote:
The quote for this chapter is that you got the whole control of your life I mean full control of your life.

How does the quote relate to the book?
Brent is so use to getting told what to do. He has people telling him what to do and what to be like. He is so use to worrying about what people think about him.

Why did you chose this quote? How does this quote relate to you?
Because I learned when I was locked up I decided what to do or not. If I wanted to fight I do I had control of what I wanted to do.
‘Rest gives strength activities’. Page 84 the whirligig


I think this relates to the book in a very big way. I think what they were trying to say was some times you just need to start over and take a rest. Like how Brent needs to just take a breath and a nap for a day or two and then when he is done he well be better at making whirligigs.

I personally love this quote. I think it means a lot like if you are trying to do something over and over again but you just cant to it all you got to do is take a break and meditate. And then when you are done you should be able to do it like that.
He realized he needed a punishment. Page 37

I choose this quote because
It relates to me because I know when I mess up and I realize it I’m just like him I would like a punishment.
I hella agree with it because how like I said everybody that messes up or does something illegal for the law should get a punishment.

There are consequences for our acts. My boy. Page 7
Yea their always consequences for everything you do it could be the most little thing ever but if someone takes it bad their goanna be consequences.
And it relates to me because every time I do something stupid I always get the consequences after so yea.

You Have Control over Your Life pg. 18 chapter: Party Time


I chose this quote because, I think its true, I mean if you don’t control what you do, or at least try to, then you’re always going to be getting in trouble or doing things your not suppose to. So when you start to think about bad things, then sit there and think positive, or good things. This quote relates to the book when Brent killed that girl (Lea Rosalia Santos Zamora). If he wouldn’t have been drinking that night, and he would have been on all his six senses, then nothing would have happened. Now he has that guilt in him. So if people think before they act it would be a good thing for them, and people around them. This quote relates to me because, I in the past have acted before thinking, I’ve let my thoughts control me.
Quote

“People live in groups. Groups argue. If the people in the group all get along, everybody will be happy, and they will live in peace.” Whirligig, page 62


Relations

This quote relates to Floco’s life because he comes from a quiet place. Then he moved to the U.S. and now all his family is in one house and it’s very rowdy. Floco is a very peaceful person and he realizes the quote after he sees the whirligig and realizes that if you work together, there will be harmony.



My comments

I find this quote to be very true. My own family is very loud and sometimes you just need a break. I myself take a walk or a bike ride. Whatever works is good, but sometimes you just have to cope with it.
“A nervous energy whipped back and forth inside him”.
Whirligig, page #3

I’m a nervous person when a moment comes to me that I don’t like. I hate having those moments because they just put me in a place where I’m just scared of doing or saying something wrong. I have been in lots of moments like this. Just recently I had a moment where I get scared and I said something wrong at the wrong time.

I had chosen this quote because it had a moment of thinking to me. I agree with this quote because I get nervous almost all the time. It relates to me because I have moments in my life all the time.
“Rest gives strength to activities.”
WHIRLIGIG Page #84

It was told to the mother of the kid that this chapter is about after she heard this Chinese proverb she did not push her kid as much as she used to. The way that she changed was she did not expect him to play the violin. She even let him quit playing the violin which he was happy about because he did not like playing it. The family seams to be prejudiced to me because they expect more from him then his sister. He was Korean and she was pure American strait from Kansas.

I chose this quote because I know that you can’t get anywhere in life without applying your self to any activity/work. I agree with this quote if you don’t get sleep them you can’t apply your self to the activity/work that you are doing. This quote relates to me because I now that if I don’t get sleep them I can’t do what is expected of me.
