William Shakespeare was the first to use the phrase "the green-eyed monster" to describe jealousy. Today that phrase is used all the time. Your journal for today is to write a poem about jealousy. It can be about any type of jealousy. It doesn't have to be about a love interest. It could be that you're jealous that someone has ice cream and you don't. Have fun!

I see your tendency to listen to no one.
ReplyDeleteAll day you go out and have fun.
You sleep when you'd like
and you can go on a stike.
Your free to roam wherever, whenever
and you are really rather clever.
Cat, I wish I could be you for a day,
then I could not listen and just sit around and lay.
I see you pass by everyday,
ReplyDeleteAnd it puts me in dismay.
Just by the amazing sound,
I can tell when you come around.
It is annoying that I have to look from afar
At your amazing car.
It's warm and sunny there,
ReplyDeleteYou have days without a care.
You play softball all year round,
What a delightful sound.
You catch some rays for a tan,
Here, it's not possible you can.
Here we just get pneumonia,
I wish I was in California..
Life as a Bum
ReplyDeleteYou get to sleep all day
under a tree by the bay.
I wish that I could have your life,
eating everything with knife.
I just want to be a bum.
When people pass, you do a crazy-man hum.
You just live life off the land,
not caring if you sleep on sand.
You do what you want as you please,
living life with utter ease.
Omg look at that girl over there,
ReplyDeleteI really love her pretty hair.
She is so pretty,
but sometimes very ditzy.
Everyone loves her,
not under pressure.
I'm not really jealous,
I'm just trying to make this.
Is he looking at her?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't he see that she has armpit fur?
Why can't he just look at me?
We are meant to be!
Just kidding, this isn't what I think.
If it was, that would stink!
Being like that isn't good.
It makes you sick, and not want to eat food.
I am happy with where I am,
If you are jealous, BAM!
no one ever looks at me
ReplyDeleteis it because i am as scrawny as can be?
or perhaps because i stink?
i just want to be noticed
like the pretty girl who has tons of friends by her side
or people wanting to give her a ride
i need to be happy
enough of of this jelously
Some people do such things with ease,
ReplyDeleteand though I try I don't always succeed.
I wish I had the confidence to not be scared,
but the best I can do is be prepared
and even then it's hard to concentrate.
I never seem to keep these things straight.

ReplyDeleteI am looking at the man with the cookie.
ReplyDeleteHow very crisp, yet soft.
As it breaks I see the chocolate,gooey.
Oh look, the man coughed.
I want to eat his coughed up cookie off the floor,
then maybe be will give me more.
Jealousy is bad
ReplyDeleteIt really makes me sad
Do i know why
Yes, i do because i cant fly
I wish i was a hawk
then i could fly in a flock
I see the children wandering the hall.
ReplyDeleteThey don't have homework, none at all.
They get to run around and play Clue,
While I have lots of homework to do.
I wish I could go on the playground,
but i am stressed and it makes my head pound.
Its little things you see.
ReplyDeleteLike putting lights on the christmas tree..
You know...
The things people do as a family.
Cutting the turkey,
And eating a meal together at the table.
Most kids hate it,
And im just jealous that theyre able.
Silly traditions,
Special bonds,
Like mother-daughter
And father-son.
Long hugs
And motivational words.
And now im too old,
To lay in bed, and to me a story be told.
So just be thankful you got,
What others wished, and did not.
If I have to go to school,
ReplyDeletewhy can't i go with kids who are cool.
They learn how to do magic.
I don't and it is so tragic.
I wish I went to hogwarts,
so I could have really good deserts.
My dog gets to sleep all day,
ReplyDeletelie in the sun and waste the day away.
All he does is sleep and eat,
then scratch his head with his feat.
Being my dog would be nice but lame,
I wouldn't have to remember anything, even my name.
Oh how I wish
ReplyDeletethat I could be a fish
they can swim around all day
without a worry in their way
I and envious of them
I think that they are the seas gem
You are my pet
ReplyDeleteI will not fret.
Your hair is long
And i sing you a song.
lets sing a song together
We will be friends forever!
A chinchilla has a wonderful life
I wish i was one.
