 POEMS
INSPIRED BY
THE SHORT
FILM, BABOON
ON THE MOON
BABOON ON THE
MOON
BY: EVAN
Sleeping with sound noises and dreaming about his home
town Mali.
Brushing his teeth nice and clean.
Walking slowly with his suitcase and deep breathing.
Looking sadly at earth and feeling blue.
Crying alone since he missed earth.
Looking Towards the Glowing Blue
By : Jakob

Looking towards the glowing blue

and green planet,

remembering all of the great memories.

Brushing gleaning white teeth in his bathroom.

Sleeping in his dark and scary room.

Snoring loudly,

Lifting his brown and heavy bag over the moon

surface.

Drinking his coffee in the dark and lonely kitchen.

Remembering the peaceful birds

and the green forest trees

in Mali.
Baboon On The Moon
By Dora Wu

Eating his breakfast, the baboon forget to drink his coffee.

Looking lonely at earth,
his trumpet played sadly.
Sleeping tightly in his warm bed,
distracted by the clock.
Walking slowly up the bumpy landscape,
remembering about Mali.
Brushing his white teeth, staring at the mirror, sticking his tongue out.
The baboon took the trumpet out of his box.
Gazing at Earth.
Lonely tears dropped gently out of the baboon’s eye.
 Alone on the Moon
by Woobin
Playing the trumpet sadly,
the baboon gazed longily at Earth.

Remembering how great Mali was,

crying quietly
tears falls down to the ground like raindrops.

Snoring loudly,
the clock strikes
6:00 o’clock.

Looking sadly at Earth,

picturing beautiful memories.

Eating breakfast,
crazily alone in the dark kitchen.
 Moonshine
By Alex Z
Brushing his white teeth violently on the tranquil moon.

Pouring the moonshine,

making the moon bright as the sun.

How could he find the resources?

Sobbing quietly into his trumpet.

Sad jazz music while he glanced at earth.

Where does the trumpet came from?

Munching slowly,

drinking down a mysterious drink.

Tremendous snore that you can hear far away.

Playing the trumpet and

gazing lonely at earth.

Baboon By:Ayden
The sobbing baboon sobs quietly
in the lonely moon
beside his lonely house
looking at the earth
playing the trumpet
playing through his tedious day the sad baboon reflecting this good days on earth
sleepy baboon sleeps all night
sleepy goofy jobs
and he goes back to sleep
have you wondered why he has a sleepy goofy breakfeast
lifting his heart trumpet
the baboon plays with a tired face
gazing at the green earth
reflecting his good days in Mali drinking the coffee
thinking about how he can get back to earth…
 Reflecting
- By Jeremy

Reflecting on his own, Of the Moon

Quietly. Lifting the wooden suitcase
Thinking about the joyful times, Looking
In the jungle Thinking,
Climbing up at seemingly endless, Reflecting
Tall trees Why?
Missing the forest green and blue
Of Earth.

Playing a depressing tune,

On a golden instrument
Sobbing on the tranquil plains,
 Baboon on the moon
by Soma

Ear breaking snoring at the lifeless moon

Brushing his white shinny teeth
as rough as the plates of the moon
chewing crunchy cranberry cereal
with a big banana on his face
drinking extra caffeine latte
at the lifeless bright moon
walking down the sightless moon
daydreaming what nice Mali was
Playing the golden trumpet with pride
and with love
beautiful Mali was
Sobbing a river of tears and gazing longingly and earth

Refreshed drinking water.
Enter the beautiful lake.
Sadly was polluted.
Has the living creature survive.
Were people able to stop polluting.

The Dirty Sky
By Ayden
I glanced up at the sky,
which made me want to cry
the sky is being fried
the horrors getting high
the time gets to night
I glance up at the sky
the starts are gonna hide
i see stars gliding by
the stars are being fried
i woke up from my night
this might all happen
if we don’t ever try.

YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSES
 Perspectives
By Alexander
If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change.
We are all disabled
in ways
that means we are special
in every way
No matter if
we are different
or the same
we are still
extraordinary
The earths population of humans are growing
So is the amount of of discrimination
Disabilities make us unique
I can run like a cheetah
I can’t blow bubblegum
from bubblegum
I can’t whistle
so label me disabled too
people can’t change the way they look
Maybe we can change the way we see.
FRESH WATER
POLLUTION
BY: EVAN
Fresh water pollution,
Give me a solution.
We need to make a change,
Before our world goes strange.
We need to make the water clean,
To let earth become green.
Oil spills into the water,
And it does really matter.
Dirty water all around,
All because of the little town.
Water can not be wasted,
Because it is not good to be tasted.
Do not let the tap running out,
Because your mom will shout.
HOW?
Fly little duck.
River is safe.
Eat little duck.
Sun shine is everywhere.
Hello little duck.
Water pollution.
Apple on the flour.
The water is dirty.
Eating polluted fish is not safe.
River is polluted.
Pollution all around.
Oh my God!
Life is bad.
Life is bad.
Ugly polluter.
Tell them to stop polluting.
I want to help.
Oh boy.
Nature is important.
 Food Waste
By Anvith Anandprakash

Food is getting wasted,

everyday,
Only we can stop it,
Our Earth will be free,
Don’t,
Waste,
Food,
Want and buy just,
Enough,
Eat not more
say this to other people too.
Take effort,
Environment will be clean again.
 Mist
- By Jeremy

Our future is bleak We put ability

We are all freaks Over disability.
We will all die We don’t care about people in wheelchairs
Because we are getting fried, But, we care about Fun Fairs
From the burning sun We need to go to mars,
Because we live with cars
There will be no fun.
If we don’t have cars
We will be behind bars.
We are interested in burning;
Fuels
We will all go rage,
But, we are not interested in, learning Because we gaze,
We put need At Earth
Over greed,
HOW TO RECYCLE CLOTHES
By: Colleen
Recycle them,
Reuse them.
Don’t throw them away,
so make it new!
Stick them with glue,
stitch them and it’s new.
TA DAH!
IT’S NEW

Clothing Pants,
all very old,
use your ideas,
what could you make?
Make some aprons,
for your kitchen.
Make pretty covers,
for your iPad.
Make some gloves,
from your socks.
Make some bags ,
from your jeans.
Use your imagination,
to recycle clothes.

 The World By : Jakob

The world can’t always be perfect

if someone can change it is us.

We are the future of our planet,

We are are killing our planet,

Our planet needs our help,

We can’t be allowed to kill more of our planet,

Soon we need to be careful about every day can damage our Planet badly,

We see our planet dying , and we don’t do anything,

Our future is bleak,

We put need over greed,

We put ability over disability,

We don’t care about people in wheel chairs but we care about fun fairs,

We look at people from the outside not the inside,

We see people differently which makes them feel different,

If a disability makes me different,

I want to be disabled.

YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE
 running quickly
from fear
Perspective by Soma
nightmares
greedy people
like hungry wolves geared up
for food
loud at night
like wolves howling
wished to live a different life
thought everyone is different has an ability and a disability
But now one thought that way
discriminated people by how they look
how about the heart and the intelligence
I thought that everyone was disable
able at the same time
The world is unique cause everyone is different
that makes the world so unique
If disability makes you different
I Want to be disable
Because We can’t change the way way we look
but we can change the way we see

THE LIZNUT BY GAYA

Head of coconut
body of a lizard.
Up on the mountains you can find
that weird animal,

eating only crabs,

drinking only coconut milk.

They are really good at climbing on

trees.
They like to be alone
not with someone else.

He is really cool
but very rude.
 Scranimals
By Alexander

he is hairy on his body from head to towhee was covered and covered to not be bold.
He has four legs like any creature,
too bad he isn’t a teacher.
His teeth bite like they were silver and white,
too bad he doesn’t own an app called Skype.
His eyes are the size of a ball,
too bad he isn’t that tall.
You can peel his body for ages and ages.
So why doesn’t he live in any cages?
He can run faster than you, even if he has to take a poo.
 Catonut- Isabel C
Catonut Catonut,
a coconut that could walk,
jumping playing like a cat,
Catonut is it’s name.
Boom!
Bang!
Clang!
It’s Catonut’s dinner time.
They lie on the sea like a coconut,
and turned to a cat and leapt for the fish,
so that is Catonut’s dinner dish.
Horsananna is a very unusual animal,

but it is very interesting looking. I

t loves to Run and Fly,
 Horsananna

you probably don t think

a horsananna can fly

but no human has seen there wings.

When no people are around

their wings change colors.

Their favorite color is rotten banana.

Add Yellow and Brown.

They never use the bathroom

(which is very WEIRD). By: Isabelle

They also love to eat whiteboards.

Guzzling lemon juice.

Snoozing on banana trees.

And if they eat bananas they will have a baby Horsananna.

THE ZEBRANANA BY GAYA

The Zebranana in a very unusual

animal.

if they eat a banana they will die.

running very fast

in groups of other Zebranana.

they can fly with their invisible

wings

that no-one can see.

 PIGARTOT

A pig and a carrot together,

Who can not stand cold weather,

He sits in the shade,

Rolls wildly around,

And he bumps on his head,

BOM! CRASH! BAM!

His legs falls off,

And never stood up again.

 Strawfiberry
By Lily
There once was a fish
who lived very happily at sea.
He would eat small shrimp
and old coins for luck.
He would go to the Fishmusement Park
with his peers
and buy shrimp flakes,
Oh, what a happy life!
 Strawfiberry
As the fish swam to his last pack
of shrimp flakes,
he heard a PLOP!
followed by a few more PLOPs.
And when he looked up
he saw a giant red weird-looking sphere
falling from the sky at such a speed!
And in a second’s time
the weird sphere landed on the fish
and POOF!
The weird sphere that is a strawberry
transformed the fish
into a
Strawberry-Fish!
 Strawfiberry

From that day on

his friends called him
Strawfiberry.
He grew legs, so he could walk,
He grew lungs, so he could breathe
And most of all,
his body was transformed into a strawberry.
Flamango by Alex X
Looking at the Flamango makes me laugh,
because its body is so fat
On the head there is a black hat
and it’s fur is like a fluffy mat

Flamango lives in a mango cave,

eating food he really craves
Maybe you should be like the Flamango
Because he is happy everyday
 DONKADO!
By: Laifu

Looking at the Donkado will make you laugh so hard,

Slimy and mushy head
Can’t just take your interest apart. Avocado + Horse =
Why?
Little Donkado, can you be something less ugly?
Because right now every visitor says

“YOU ARE TOO SQUISHY!”

Humans can’t you understand?

I’m trying my best!
In my opinion I think you’re some kind of weird guest.
So maybe I could call YOU a
Mysterious huge Wonky.
:D
Maybe could you
Stop pointing
At me
And
Laughing to death… XD

Hey! You little, get out of my way!

Hey! Little wonky, who let you enter my doorway?
Hey! stop! Grade 2er, stop fiddling around!
What about you? Giant, have a think of what I found!

Hey! Big man, would you please stop?

Hey! Mr. Tall, can I be on the buildings top?
If you try to stop me from
doing everything,
Then think about yourself,
So could you please shush,
You giant big mop.

he hated to be stung by bees.

He doesn’t like honey,

because it’s too runny,

But then he got covered in fleas.

very

unicorn,
lives inside a corn,
it mumbles, it bumbles while
playing snicker-snap, then the
unicorn takes a nap, when the
unicorn was awake, someone
was hiding in the crate, but
actually the person was
looking for a mate, so
the unicorn agreed to
be her good good mate.
 Landfills
by Anvith Anandprakash

Smelly,
Rotten food just resting.
Moldy food.
Made by humans,
Who buy more than they eat.
Throwing it out in the dust bins.
Dumped by people who don’t care.
Millions and millions of people still struggle to eat.
