Blackout Poem

I assigned a blackout poem to my creative writing class and I did one as an example. I thought it sounded fun, and I did like it, but I was surprised how tough it was. Here is the poem…

****************************************************************************

Overrated

Underrated

Vividly isolated

Happy

Sitting around a candle. freezing

Painstakingly planned

Comfort of an environmental impact

Cool

It’s beautiful!

Surprise!

Time collects magical fun!

Enchanting.

…and here was the story I used to black out.

But so is Mars.

Moving to Mars.

May  be hard. 

It may be hard because it’s so far.

So far. 

So far it’s been hard .

 the different phoneFar far away.

Far from my home far from everything I Used to Know.

We have arrived somewhere nobody knows.

We are here to stay OK.

I keep looking around.

 and there’s new things in the ground. 

In the ground As I look around.

 there’s people around.

 They keep looking down.

It’s about to go down.

Because I got in town.

Space Exploration

 Space Exploration 

The ship is on its course to Mars

It is a long journey 

All the food is in jars

Our captain is on a gurney

I sit in the seat

Outside its cold

What we do is a feat

What we do is bold

We reach Mars in a few days time

I stand on the red ground

I feel in my prime

            Part two 

I saw a light

I look up

Looking out is a sight

I am the youngest called the pup

I hear a noise and check it out 

I see figure out in the dust

I go out to figure it out 

The ground the color of rust

The figure starts walking 

I freeze to hide 

  I am almost stalking

I hear the figure sigh

My people are small

We blend very well

The figure falls

I let out a small yell

I rush forward to help

When I get there i see they are up

The figure lets out a yelp

I help them and backup

The figure waves 

I say hello

I had help and saved

The figure says his name is Joe

I figure he is a Earthling

He asks what I am 

I say I am a Martian 

I say my name is Tam

We will be friends

That I am sure

I say to the ends

He says he is sure

I’m a Elemend

Time for an Adventure

 Time for an Adventure 

My name is clare anet , today I got an 

Opportunity to go to 

Sateran and I was on me way to the

 Rocketship 4 hours after I got the news. 

Now it’s time for an adventure

On Sateran. When we got to 

Sateran I jumped up and down. 

After I jumped down from the ship I seen 

An alien. When I saw the alien I screamed.

When I screamed the alien ran, when the alien ran I 

Could hear it yelling to the other aliens “omg there 

Are humans here RUNNNNNNNNN!” After I heard them 

Screamed and run I ran after them and said ”wait I won’t hurt 

I just want to get to know you.” Now we are our good friends

And are leaving for Earth in three days. When  I told the alien 

It jumped up and down non stop. When we got to Earth the alien 

Screamed “omg I’m on Earth this is so CRAZYYYY!” 

Now in Three weeks some crew members 

and I are going back to Sateren And the alien is 

going back. When we landed the alien started to cry

And begged us to let him stay in the U.S. with us. 

Now from the alien’s point of view. Part 2

Today was a normal alien day then all of the sudden 

We saw a weirdly shaped object in the distance. 

When we saw it we all screamed “RUNNNNNNN!!!” 

They landed and Bob went to see what it was. 

Bob said this is cool and they jumped out and we all ran. 

After that they chased us and we all stopped. After a few days 

They took Bob home with them and returned him back a month later.

Journey to Kepler-69c

During our journey to Kepler-69c we came across a hole in the shuttle

We lost a few passengers before we closed the hole

Giving us a smaller chance of survival on Kepler-69c

While our journey we had another problem

 A food shortage

We went to a nearby station to restock up on food

Then we continued are journey

As we finally landed on Kepler-69c

The passengers all went their own way

After we dropped them off

The Strange Otherworlders

A year ago a satellite with a message

From a distant planet

Requesting us to accept

Them living on our planet

Present day a airship came to our planet

While we were tending our farms

They landed in our fields

My family and friends were curious

So we approached the ship

We realized their tech

Was not as developed as our tech

They offered to build their own camp and tend our farms

All to let them live on our planet

As long as they dont come in town

 Stay on the border of the city

The little ones are the only ones that can

Come into the city borders for school

No Title

Here we go 

Here we fly away from Earth 

We need to get out of here cuz of a war

We need to fly 

We left are home planet to survive 

Time to find a new place to live

Find a new planet to call home

We found a new planet to call home but there are weird phenomenons going on 

We met martins and we need to live her for a little bit 

And we need to leave in three day to find a new home 

We landed on a weird planet that had dust in it and we can breathe without a mast or anything on. We see skulls of people and we freaked out and we left

We found a new planet we never saw in history 

We found out where the dinos went and they talked like humans 

We said hi and if we can stay there for the rest of our lives. 

Mission to Mars

Mission to Mars

By Brock Lee

Part 1

 Blasting off into the sky

Past the clouds, I’m flying high.

My rocket roars, the ground grows small.

I’m headed for the bright ball.

Through the stars. I glide so fast,

To Mars, where red dust winds will blast.

A planet dry with canyons deep,

Where secrets of old life might sleep.

Trouble on Mars

Part 2

they crawl from caves with glowing eyes,

Their skin is blue, like twilight skies.

With jelly arms and spikey toes,

They sniff the air with bumps that glow.

They chatter loud in buzzing tones,

And guard their piles of shining stones

They’re mad we landed near their land,

They wave sharp sticks with squishy hands.

We backed away and said we’re sorry,

They didn’t care and looked really worried.

But then one smiled. A creepy grin,

And let us leave with all our skin

We flew back home through stars and black,

Glad we made it safely back

Now I tell all who dream of flight-

Some plants aren;t worth the night

Going to Venus

By Billy Bob Joe

Part 1

 I went to space it was a delight but when I got there it was a fright 

I landed on venus plucked some grapes ate them up and maybe some tape

I went to explore and was very adored 

I saw some kids playing with toys and made me think of little boys 

They were playing with a seesaw and it made me beatbox 

My partner antonio tried to go to romio 

These words can’t describe the delight but a one word could be fright 

Antonio and I saw some things it was very weird 

He wanted to go to jupiter but if he went he’d get stupider we stayed on venus and he became the meanest 

My grace was taken just like brace taken off I no longer want to be here but I won’t be sent off

On venus here I am to this day and i’m starting to want to stay i’ve seen some things it was pretty scary but antonio started looking hairy 

Antonio said come on brad go find your dad 


Part 2 

These weird people came to my planet and I know they aint it 

I need to find away for them to stay before the vanish away 

They won’t be here much longer so we need to make venus stronger 

You may pay to live another day 

I will steal your rocket key for you to find peace 

Me as an alien I’ve found a way to make these ugly people stay 

I went on the rocket took some food chewed it up like pizza hut 

It would be crude to not be nude 

I plucked some grapes and planting tape

I needed some help so I went to yelp 

I saw this guy named Mr. Fuss and he definitely wasn’t a bus 

He came off the rocket but antonio had to block him

These people were walking around and exploring but 

that one astronaut was adoring 

These people are weird and they need to stay i wouldn’t want them to vanish away

They are starting to like my planet venus it is i like it to don’t be rude i’ll tell you to 

This weird man named antonio looked very hairy 

There’s a code blue and I’m a slug alien too!

Going to Mars

Going to Mars

Part 1

Mars oh, it seems so far

 Thought I could only wish upon a star

Though every night it seems we get closer

  I am starting to lose closure 

Now it is time for packing

No time for slacking 

What should I bring 

Maybe my wedding ring 

As my husband fights on earth 

I move on to new turf 

Now i’m on getting on the rocket 

Hope I don’t throw my shoulder out of socket

Hope I make without losing my locket

I will try to keep it in my pocket

Hope is the only thing I have 

There is no one to pave my path

Day 127 almost their

I can almost smell the martian air

Hope we land safely 

I think about it daily 

I am starting to feel hazy

4 more days till arrival

This spaceship is starting to feel like my rival

I can see it in the distance

Just have to have patience

Hold tight for impact 

We hit the ground and we are still intact

I hope it is safe 

Just have to have faith

I step off the ship 

Bite my lower lip

It’s everything I could of hoped of

Part 2

What do I see 

I think we found our key

We have found our escape 

It has been a long wait

But how do we get them to stay

We need them to see how wonderful it is here

Little do they know that soon they might disappear

“Hello beings of earth, now your on our turf”

“This place is even better than earth”

Look at our food

Ready to be chewed

It would be just crude 

Not to move

Leave your ship

Promise we won’t dip

I will even bet my poker chip

We will help you get settled

Let me just take your big piece of metal

“Here is your house”

Little do they know soon mars will be quiet as a mouse

Ok aliens time to get moving  

This is our time for proving 

Lets move to saturn

Leave this blank pattern

The Time I Went to the Moon

The Time I Went to the Moon

By John Tae

  I launched from New York and started to head out into                 Pt1

 space I was headed off to the moon and 

  something went wrong during the ride to the moon.

 And it took way longer than it should have taken                         

 When I got there, I had to fix the problem myself

I  got there around 11 to 12 pm.

I landed on the moon shut everything off like the                         Pt2

Engine I put all my gear on and walked of the 

Spaceship. I looked around and I seen this

Green human like thing behind my space                                    

Ship. I walked around the ship and I thought

It was a person but it wasn’t It was something 

So called an alien and they didn’t want me there.

Because bad stuff would happen like get stuff

Stolen and they would break things so I stayed

One night too see what would happen and I woke                     

Up to aliens banging on my door. So I turned

Everything on and left and made it back to the earth. 

Mars Trip

Mars Trip

 Part one

One day, I was in a diaper.

Another day, I was in a spacesuit. 

All my childhood, I was always looking up.

Looking up at the sky.

Looking up to my dad.

Looking up to my role model, Neil Armstrong.

I’ve always loved space, it’s the only thing that has been the same for centuries.

One day, I was in class learning about space.

Another day, I was at NASA learning the route I would take to get to Mars.

The next thing was me on my way to Mars with my team.

The next thing was my team and I had to get on the ship we trained hard for this mission.

We were going to Mars.

The trip was long, and it made us face many hard obstacles, but we made it. 

After we landed on Mars,I was the first to step foot on Mars, and after that, was my team. 

A weird day

Part two

It was a normal day, and we had just gotten done eating our prey.

Then there was a bang sound.

We found human fangs.

 We thought it was an illusion.

We traced the humans with our tech to their reck of a ship and chased them.

Once we seized them we interrogated them.

 When we release them we made them leave as we faced them.

Space Explorers and the Blorgy’s

By Saralin Martinez

Space Explorers and the Blorgy’s

Part One

Space is something that only a few can dream of

Some can achieve it

Space is different from what

most people think it is

It is still a mystery

We want to seek the unknown

But only a few can achieve it

The unknown is intriguing to some

I was one of the people who were intrigued by space

And I got the chance to explore space

and I did I took the chance I showed up at the rocket

Then I was in space on a space tour

The tour guide and I

We were alone no one else came

We visited four planets till we stopped and docked

On Pluto the baby planet

Part Two

I see something landing

A small voice chirped beside me

I look around seeing humans

The small voice says

Run

As my blorgy buddy run

There were calm and cautious steps behind us

A human is following us

Luckily our species can’t be seen 

Unless it’s our species

We run to our mountain as we remember

Our home isn’t invisible like us

The human runs to it and into it

Me and my blorgy friend and I would scream

The hundreds of thousands of blorgy’s scream too
Which scares off the human

The human was scared onto the ship

We hear it talking so someone or another human

As they talked we cut wires in the ship

Then the ship takes off taking us with it

What will happen?

Going to Mars/Hide on Mars

Going to Mars

 Traveling from place to place is all astronauts know.

 With them stuck in a space shuttle

 I can imagine all they want to do is go

 But moving to another planet 

And leaving everything else behind 

You would hope everything would just aline 

A trip to Mars

A question you might ask 

Is it far  

In mars see nothing

But some trees

Then came a breeze

 A breeze of someone coming upon us

In the sky 

And it was no lie

A spaceship 

A space ship coming down

My face started to frown 

Not even two minutes and there’s people here 

Hide on Mars

They came out of the ship

For  some reason they didn’t look like us 

 They came out looking like they just came from a magical school bus 

They seem to look humane

And they all looked the same

They came and started to walk around 

They were loud cause I could hear them from hear

As they’re voice was getting louder i knew they were near

My first thought was to hide 

I dont know whos these people are

But I had to think fast cause they weren’t far 

I started running into the trees 

I had to run fast cause I knew they were behind  me 

The goal was not to live life on a new planet

It was now not to get caught on this new planet 

Going onto a Planet

Going on to a Planet

Human perspective 

It is too late to turn back 

Too late to run 

Is it worth it or not 

Will i die or not 

Yea i probably cooked 

I will get rich

Or will i die 

It it worth it no no

I’m more cooked than a lobster

Oh no i see it the planet 

The dreadful planet of small monstars

They will eat me no no

We are hear they are attacking me no no 

I am dead

Aliens 

A big boom we are being attacked

They were coming closer

We must defend our land 

Hey had a look of terrier 

They are not friends 

They are trying to hurt us

We must get rid of them

They landed we attacked them

Screams fishing lots of us were dead

They ran we chased them 

Of a cliff 

They are dead

We win

We defund our land
