THE RAIN LIED
I
The clouds came up with and started to darken
the rain began to fall and dogs started barkin'
people looked for shelter as it started falling.
The bears came out and started mauling . . .
then the sky began to lighten
the sun came out shining
the birds flew chirping
the cat started running
as you feel the rain is still in you.
The smell of spring is all around you
but then the rain start to burn and the cat's hair falls off.
the cat is now bare and all it can say is “meow”
As I feel the rain on my face, dripping
then a fat man came out and started to vacuum
the rains as it fell into his mouth, he felt bad afterwards
I wish I was back in the beginning.
II
The rain lies to cover all
the rain lies to prevent you from going to the mall
the rain in your heart collects as you fall
the rain will wash away your pain and lies
the rain is the tears of the dead
the rain is god’s tears as they fall from the sky
the rain is the black boy who lost his way
the rain is the tears that fall when you cry
the rain is when one of your favorite loved ones say good-bye
the rain is the tears from everyone who mourns
the train in your heart is the guilt and the sin.
the rain is the child lost from within
as the rain falls on my face dripping
I feel it cleanness on my face
This is a collection of 7- minute poems
Tell me why are we perpendicular continued to cross one another. Why can’t we be congruent just like on another? Why must 4 do me that way subtract me out of your life then add tings that cause your life's strife? Why can’t things be three same like they use
To be what we were destined to be.

This is how I feel about my grandma. It all started when I was 1 she’d feed me bananas then when I was 2 she taught me how to tie my shoe, My grandma is always there for me.
My grandmas will not stop caring for me. When I was ten she’d braid my hair then she stayed with us and took me everywhere. She is like a sunshine she shines so bright. She still tucks me in and says “goodnight” the doctors call her “the fighter” w/out her the sun be not brighter. Grandma you don’t know how much I love you. May god bless and keep you
--Mauoel M.
Of all the things that I hate, math is the worst; I can’t even state how much I hate to sit here in this lost and confused place. Long stupid words I’ll never remember Long stupid formula’s I’ve not known since December I hate this place this irritating state to be free would be great.
--Samatha C.
You and I are equal you see more congruent then anything. Although we fight and to love you I try. Its getting hard 2 think. The therom that lies in between us states that you always can hear us but as long as I know you are near me I’ll keep living here with out watch and no fear until that day come 2 see me.
--Alyssia L.
Corollary, one after the other proven before why another? Geometry when we’ll we use it not as a doctor or a lawyer what’s the point? Unless you’re going to be a carpenter or teacher
Inside this space
there is No ending,
no right from wrong
no light from dark
no start from finish nothing
Just space

I don’t want to die, but someday I will. Nobody can help it, but someday death will hunt them down.
--Colin B.
Can anyone see hurt, in the little children’s eyes. When they can’t find a crumb of food. The sorrow and their cries. Can anyone see that the Work we live in is full to the brim with sin. Have you heard? Can any see that there is more to life than jewels and money.
--Aurelia C.
My love y=mx+b just like tywon=thee. I thin we were meant to be but to bad me I fucked things up and I feel lower than a cup I made her feel really sad. Now I feel really bad. I wish I knew at first Now my life shall be cursed.
--Anonymous
I’m just going to say it, I hat math I hate all math adding and subtracting to proving triangles congruent. I hate it all. I want to be a shrink so I’m never going to ever in my life as long or as short as it would be very for money prove a triangle congruent ever it is so boring, oh so boring and there is no point, omg those two triangles are the same you what ever its not like I care. I a stupid triangle if there don’t the same erase one and draw it crying the same who care not me math has no real purpose in my life.
--Anna L.
I don’t know what to write. I do not like writing poetry even tho I don’t like math, I’d rather do geometry.
--Joshau F.
When corresponding parts correspond and meet each other, they fall in love and have babies named congruent and triangle. When congruent and triangle grow up and become the best of friends they are congruent. My proof for this reason is the reason for they are congruent because of my proof without this proof there is no reason to call these two triangles even.
--Brenna L.
Life, love, home, school so many times do we look at ourselves and think of so many different things. For instance a circle wanting to be a square a triangle not wanting to be right.
We have so many choices and designs to solve things to go along with your friends even though you know its wrong or to do something for someone just to see them smile to prove things congruent you also have the same choices to go solve a problem one way or to do it right to make your parents proud either way so many choices.
Love is a special thing. You are not born with it like an arm or let you learn to FEEL it in mind, heart and soul. You aren’t born with the knowledge of equations as well, you learn to do them to know them and feel.
--Angel S.
I’m as bored as can be of course I’m in geometry when will I ever use this stuff in real life. He just keeps talking and talking hoping that we understand and we just hope that we pass the test.
--Theresa S.
X + 2 can’t compare to y you and I are in love. Love is such a fickle thing if utme can’t = us. Those who seek it will have but only.
--Jacquan S.
Geometry my least favorite class I watch the clock as the time slowly ticks past. Segments angles and triangles all such a blur. Perpendicular lines, I couldn’t care more when the bell rings I sigh with relief.
--Kristina B.
Sisters of the moon, the triple goddess. Like an equilateral triangle we are congruent. We are the weavers of a crimson web. We are the witches that shall never be dead
--Amanda L..
Why does y+mx=b? Y doesn’t the y= bx or m? or m=ybx? It is because the m doesn’t
like the b and the b not the m but likes the x? Or maybe the y is just lonely
and prefers to be grouped with no one. The equal stands along stuck in the middle
with no one like him. He wonders y must y be in front of me? Y not me in front
of y? or b? or x? Notice how the + has yet to say anything at all, he has no say
in anything, because he has no meaning. Oh! But wait! With out him what would
we have? Just a yxbm+? Or better =yxbm
--Caroline P.
The measure of two life long friends will never stay the same whether it grows shrinks, becomes infinite or comes to a sudden stop. The people of earth are always looking to improve . . . 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 2 = 4, 4 + 4 = 8.
--Jerrell H.
I am me line 6 is in 2 x 3 myself I am, myself I’ll be just like the equation y=Mx+B. find me on a graph it’s an easy task. All you have to do is ask the equations of which we learned. Happiness I’ll have, I’ll be you cash that you can’t solve me because I am who I am and I’ll be who I be pleas help me find the answer.
--William K.
I could make up an “algebraic term” I could tell you some numbers shapes and say that’ “geometry” but I will not lie and say I know what I’m talking about, cause I don’t. Of geometry I know nothing at all this class takes up 1 ½ hours of my day and the Lansing School district is satisfied with me sitting here and doing nothing so am I. I never really cared for math, just enough to pass and now I’m surely failing this class. It is too late to care. I’ve done wasted in my past. So there is a poem I wrote about math. There is nothing else to say
--Miraneh
This is geometry. Nobody understands. Do you use ASA or CPCTC? Where do you start or how do you end. Angles, circles, quadrilaterals and triangles. Are these triangles congruent or are the lines parallel. What are proofs? How do you solve them? Most don’t get them others do just fine. I think we all miss algebra. We can’t wait to walk out the door and we can’t wait to get to Algebra 3,4.
--Ashley M.
A circle is like the world,
You wonder is
There any
things below or above.
Just like
The world we
Wonder “Where
Is the love?”
--Marcel M.
