If I Were in Charge of the World
By: Bethany Reynolds
If I were in charge of the world
I’d cancel broken hearts,
Rainy Sundays,
Gaining weight, and the end of summer vacations.
If I were in charge of the world
There’d be clearer ocean water,
A healthier world, and
Everyone would give some of their time to serve those in need.
If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn’t have snakes.
You wouldn’t have sad pound cakes, dirty dishes,
Or “Time to wake up.”
And if you wanted you could sleep the whole day away.
If I were in charge of the world
Candy bars and sweets would be fruits and vegetables,
Clothes would always fit,
And a girl who sometimes forgets to use her inside voice,
And sometimes forgets she’s not a child
Would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world!

Beautiful and smooth
Crashing with the ocean waves
Unique perfect shells

Snowflake
Glistening white
Quietly falling down
Little touches of cold comfort
Winter
Acrostic
Beachy
Energetic
Trustworthy
Happy
Ambitious
Neat
Youthful
I Wish Poem
I wish
my white dog
running
on the beach
would jump
in the
water.
