My bread
You’re so soft but hard.
When I bite your inside is holey.
It’s like Swiss cheese but better.
But in the morning I come in and you’re on the counter
with butter and jelly
you’re better than Paradise.
- Mia
Purple is mysterious and dark.
Purple is the cousin of black.
Purple is always cloaked with its staff behind its back.
Purple is the master of sharp items, storms, rain and dice.
Purple makes no noise.

A Poem about M & M's, by Maddie
They say don't pick you out but I can't resist
You're so much better than the rest of the mix.
Your colorful hard shell makes you easy to pick out
You're the best without a doubt.
When your taste touches my tongue all heaven explodes.
My tastebuds start singing opera and my mouth implodes.
A rapper copied your name
I'm not mad at him
Because copying perfection isn't such a sin.
Your taste reminds me of pleasure
Your colors are yellow, green and blue
You also come in red, orange and brown too.
You're a piece of paradise you make me go crazy,
You make my mind go all hazy.
One day an angel thought heavenly perfection isn't enough
I'm going to get M & M's -- they're the stuff.
All it took was a one word prompt. The word was "sad". Here's what Kyra wrote.
Sad things:
Storm clouds, road kill, rain, funerals, war, cold, lonely, death, broken pencils, blue.
What people do when they're sad:
Cry, go to therapy, hoard, mope, pick up strange habits, pretend to be happy, eat.
Ways to be happy:
Do yoga, take a bath, sing, dance, make bracelets, dance, draw, watch a movie, bake a cake, go shopping, write, go on a road trip, play volleyball, call friends, throw a party, sneak out, fall in love, catch a butterfly, paint your nails, read girl magazines, take a picture, start a blog, create an alter ego, do something nice for someone else, wear a dress for no reason, buy new underwear, paint your room, pick flowers, make a friend, hold a baby, go outside barefoot, hang out with your family, eat chocolate, solve a riddle, play a card game, write a letter and don't send it, buy a cute lamp, buy expensive water bottles and refill them until they break, pretend to be environmentally friendly, clean something, steal your Dad's baggy T-shirts, read a boring book just to say you read it, wear sunglasses indoors, memorize every rap song you know, go swimming, exercise, eat a health bar in front of people, do something with your hair, travel, learn how to drive, play music way too loud, make a list, count something.
