Haiku

Wake up in the bed
Prepare for another day
Come back home and sleep

Go to my cool school
Listen to teacher’s lecture
Makes me so tired

Deep in the forest
I walk through Mother Nature
Smelling scent of fresh

Blank verse

free verse

I play many different kinds of sports
Someday I lose someday I win
Baseball is my favorite out of all
I sometimes lose, I sometimes win
Baseball makes me happy and excited
The feeling of winning can't be expressed by words
Winning doesn't come very often
When you grab the feeling of it, you don't want to let it go
The winning the other teams is the only reason why I play sports
Baseball, I play it everywhere

SONNET

-Shakespear's sonnet-
Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:
Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,
Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
Mark how one string, sweet husband to another,
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;
Resembling sire and child and happy mother,
Who, all in one, one pleasing note do sing:
Whose speechless song being many, seeming one,
Sings this to thee: 'Thou single wilt prove none.'

- I said I splendidly loved you; it's not true-
I said I splendidly loved you; it's not true.
Such long swift tides stir not a land-locked sea.
On gods or fools the high risk falls -- on you --
The clean clear bitter-sweet that's not for me.
Love soars from earth to ecstasies unwist.
Love is flung Lucifer-like from Heaven to Hell.
But -- there are wanderers in the middle mist,
Who cry for shadows, clutch, and cannot tell
Whether they love at all, or, loving, whom:
An old song's lady, a fool in fancy dress,
Or phantoms, or their own face on the gloom;
For love of Love, or from heart's loneliness.
Pleasure's not theirs, nor pain. They doubt, and sigh,
And do not love at all. Of these am I.

Ballad

The coach

By Jon Kim
H Block
01/26/10

I met a man who is annoying
He was always on my case
Being annoying from home plate to outfield
He was constantly in my face

Suddenly I was changing bit by bit
I started to respect those older
I realized that his words helped me
Though the words hit me like a boulder

I think he is a multi-taker
I did not know that my coach was that smart
He coaches baseball, and makes new persons
He used some special ways to change my heart

Now I am called the most respectful boy
I try to work hard every day
He changed me without much shouting
I am always aiming for an A

Jon Kim - 6 questions

(1) If you could give any gift in the world, what would you give and to whom?
There is something that I really wanted to do to for the world after I grow up. However, in order to make that happen, I have to be rich. If I become rich, I want to donate my money to poor communication like how Bill Gates did.
(2) If you could have been someone in history, who would you have been?
If I could have been a person in history, I would want to be one of the best sports players in history. Specifically, I want to be a baseball player who plays in the ‘Major League Baseball’.
(3) If you could only take 3 people with you on a trip around the world, who would you take and why?
I would take one of my friends, one of my family members, and one of the richest people in the world. The reason is because in my spare time I could hang out with my friend, I have to take care of my family, and rich person can help me buy something throughout the trip.
(4) If you could participate in an Olympic event, which one would you choose and why?
I would choose to play baseball from an Olympic event. I have played baseball since 3rd grade. I know how to play, I am pretty good at it, and I like at the same time.
(5) What do you think about people polluting the environment?
Obviously, those people don’t look good. Polluting the environment harming everybody in this world so unless it isn’t a weird people nobody would like him or her.
(6) What do you think about having set rules for people to follow?
For me, I think it is a good way to having set rules. The reason is because if there are no rules in this society, the society will be out of control and unorganized. However, if the rules are too strict and people have no free then that should be changed a little.

(7) What do you think about people who are inconsiderate of others?
I think the answer to this question is little obvious because people who harm or hurt other people should get punishment. I don’t like those kind of people who mock others.
