ballad poem

I am a slave
Slavery is horrible
Slavery is bad

We worked day & night
We barely rested
Never stop working 

A lot of us die cause of disses 
We mostly didn't ate 
Always made to be strong

Some of our bosses treated us badly
We talked back often
But we get punished

Sometimes i wan't to live slavery
But usually i have to be strong until slavery ends
I will try my best to stay alive during the slavery

narrative poem

When i had my first kiss in third grade
He love when i had my hair in breads
We were young but we still did it
Not all people would do it


Many of us had a lot of great times together
Sometimes we shared things with each other
Months pass and were still together
We will never be apart from each other


We all started on the same day 
We play outside together when its sunny
We ate chocolates bunny's 
He use to make me laugh because he was so funny


We watch soccer games
He act the same
He ain't no dame
In my world he is fame


My mom use to get mad
I said"he ain't bad"
I had good grades 
Never low grades


We use to say never be apart
We always be together no matter what
We hugged, hold hands all day
When we kiss it comes out sunny 


We use to say"i love you"
We would have great times
We were together for nine months
Wrote i love you in different fonts


Then we started to fight
I couldn't sleep all night
Because i couldn't stop thinking about you
You realize that when we broke up
