A Remarkable Adventure - Based on the poem by Jack Perlutzky

A Remarkable Adventure

By: Alexa Hurlburt

I was in my living room

About to head to bed

Until I got the feeling I was being followed

Ah, it was all in my head

So I laid down, and shut my eyes

Until I heard a noise across my room

My eyes opened suddenly, no sudden movements

This was it, this was my doom

I got up slowly, to see what it was

I grabbed my lamp, ready to fight

The noise getting louder

My mom then walked and turned on the light

I looked where the noise was coming from

It was my homework being torn up by me brother

I was ready to scream at him

But all I got was yelled at by my mother

And that’s why I don’t have my phone for a week

A Remarkable Adventure

By: Allyson Vondran

I was in the park

Our puppy by my side

The trees began to change

With teeth that opened wide

They creaked and croaked

As they slowly stood

Time slowed but they were quick

They groaned about a wooden hood

Then a lady made a steel

Smiled big and bright

Her metal teeth flashing in the night

“Come child I’ll show you wrong and right”

Our puppy barked and howled

Then we ran

The lady followed us

I whacked her with a  pan

The trees were quick

They swallowed the puppy whole

They scared me down an alley

Where they grew two giant moles

Then they became trees once more

So mother that’s why puppy’s gone

I tried to save him

But my mind was in a smog

A Remarkable Adventure

By: Zack Smith

One day I was on a bench

Having juice and applesauce

When a man said to me

“I am now your boss”

He tome away

Put inside a place

Where it was do what you’re told

Or get a smack to the face

It really scared me

Thinking I’ll never see light

I wanted to give up now but then

Someone started a fight

I got an idea

So I snuck out and got away

I check the date and I was there all night

That’s why I don’t have my homework today
