Red Roses
Mrs. Haskell’s roses are a luscious red color.
They smell like sweet tea.
And they feel so sort like a cloud.
The pot that they sit in has flowers all over. All different colors, red, yellow, purple, green, and even more different fantastic colors.
A week has past. They look very week and crumbly.
When I touch them they fall and make crumbly sound.
Now the leaves are turning yellow and so are the flower’s peddles.
They’re starting to wilt. I can almost hear them cry.
The petals start to fall.
They’re falling.
One by One.
They fall so quite I feel like I’m going to cry.
Their almost gone. Plop, plop, plop.
Oh wait.
Oh, now they’re all gone.

Racing The Seasons
Out running the wind,
Whoooo
Hair flipping
Cold
Frozen feet
Leaves in your face
Sports playing
In front of you.
The finish line.
Alexa GalloClimbing Trees
I begin on the ground,
Soon to be as high as a bird.
I grasp the first branch and pull myself up.
I watch out for sticky sap.
Three branches high, many more ahead
While I climb this tree.
Before long I’m six branches far above the ground.
I found a bird’s nest, eggs so delicate and smooth,
Should I continue on?
Finally I’m 12 branches higher;
now I look around and sit.
Alexa GalloMagnolia tree
White pink smooth petals, as soft as a sheep’s wool, lounging in the air.
Lovely smelling flowers singing a song of spring’s arrival.
It sounds like birds chirping as the wind keeps the beat.
Squirrels dash to the top of the tree and the sun puts on a show of lights.
Petals dance with the wind while the bees perform a tune of spring.
The top of the tree watches over the world as spring is blooming and the bottom keeps the pretty magnolia tree rooted in.

Space Space is endless
Just a giant black space
Space is a wonder
New secrets to be unlocked
Still very mysterious
Space, a one man show
Space is the universe
It is quiet and cold
Space is a beautiful sight to see
But there is more to see in space
Space is not just dark it is also light
Space has glowing stars
Glittering and glistening in the black sky
But there is another
Light , it is the father of the night
The moon, the king of the dark sky.
There might be more lights
in the sky, is still black as Space.
Jacob Peterson
Harrison Road Street music
Cars roaring down
The street
Cicadas chirping
All around
Screech, zoom, crash
Bang car crash
Car in pieces
Dented
And broken
Wow
What a crash
Drip drip
Goes the rain
Thump thump
Goes the hail
Street music

Where Poetry Hides
Poetry hides in places you have visited
Poetry hides in sports that you do
Poetry hides in colors or in your house
Poetry hides in nature or in your pets
Poetry hides in your senses and in your body
Poetry hides in cabinets of food
Poetry could even hide in your lunch!
Carolyn Kelly
Gymnastics
You turn on bars and jump on beams
You do cartwheels and do flips on trampolines
You can land in a foam pit and do handstands
You can do backbends and round-offs
But you will always have to wear a hair band

Morning
I wake up something smells good!
Eggs, Bacon, French toast!
Yummy, yummy!
I all most forgot it is breakfast time!
The sun is here bright in the morning
The house is waking up!
I can hear the birds singing!
I am getting dressed and brushing my hair and teeth!
It is a nice day no rain just
SHINE!!!
The clouds are high in the sky
I am jumping with joy inside!!!I am thinking about my day!!!!
I am off to school and morning has come to the end!!!!
Morgan KingHome
My Home is like a box
Filled with all different things
I live there and sleep there
It is cozy inside and fun
It sits there very still doing
Nothing all day
I wonder what it is doing right now
Just sitting, just sitting on the ground
I love it so much
It keeps me safe
Forever, forever
I’ll stay with you!!!!!

SUN
Sometimes when I wake up in the morning I see the sun shining.
It is coming through my windows shining on my bed.
It makes me feel like I’m going right into a light bulb full of lighting bugs.
It smells like fire and a meteoroid is going to hit me.
When I walk outside I see millions of stars that are shaped like the sun.
It also feels like a hot, warm hot tub at 100 degrees.
I think if I went close I would melt like a Hershey kiss in the sun.
It is like a golden coin that is so big it cost billions of dollars.
At night the sun is kind of saying goodbye and is leaving for the night until the next sunshine comes.
Jenna Thompson
Street Music on Iris Lane
In my neighborhood in the morning I hear birds chirping and cars driving by zoom.
I also hear kids screaming, balls bouncing and my brothers yelling.
When I’m in my house my dogs barking, arf, arf, at people mowing their lawns.
At night I hear the garage opening because people are coming home .
I hear crickets chirping and motorcycles zooming by.
That’s what I hear in my neighborhood.
Josh NepoSilence
Inspired by Mr. Arnold Adoff
Rusting of the leaves
Hawks circling their prey
A cool breeze, whoosh
Funnel of leaves
Hot days
Cool nights
Dogs barking woof, woof
Fish gurgling, gurgle gloop
Crickets chirping
Dad snoring
This is silence.
Josh NepoOur Door
The handle
The pattern of the wood
It creaks and groans
Until it is opened
Makes noise
Shuts from the wind.

Maxx
Funny, cute, weird
That’s my dog
Does cool tricks
Dance, play dead
He’s funny too
His face is so cute
He loves my cat
He’s really fast
He loves the snow
He rolls in it
He gets it all over his face
He goes crazy when he’s playing
He will not lay with me
I really want him to
He never does

Butterfly
Flying gently through the sky
Patterns on its wings
From caterpillar to butterfly
Lands gently on a flower
Fly’s so high in the sky
Fly away butterfly
Ian DuffyPenguin
Wattle, wattle, wattle
Slow on land
Glides through water
Catching fish with ease
Tap, tap, tap go there feet on the ice
Making no sound
Flightless
Sliding
Different calls
Black and white
Babies grey
Wattle, wattle, wattle
Ian Duffy Blue Dog
Everybody loves that blue dog
The flower vase smiles at the blue dog
The sun smiles at the blue dog
People play with the blue dog
People pet the blue dog
The desk runs with the blue dog
Everybody loves that amazing
Blue Dog

Nighttime at Willowgate Lane Owl’s Woo-wooing,
Cricket’s chirp-chirping,
Car lights outside
My window,
Motorcycle Man
Vroom vroom,
Wee oo wee oo
Vrmmp vrmp
Police sirens, and fire trucks,
Planes soaring at full volume
With blinking lights,
Full moon
Big and bright,
Nighttime at Willowgate Lane.
Lindsay Cave
The Fox
Like a ghost
Creeping,
Foot by foot,
Studying the bird,
And it’s every move,
Closer and closer,
Until,
He’s in the exact spot,
Ready position,
Leap, Snatch,
Lunch.

Creek Road
Woof, Woof,
Rudy barking
Voiceless Street
Private road
Wind blowing
Leaves crushing
Gun club shooting
Birds chirping
Chris yelling
Me cheering
Nicky wining
Us playing
Kid’s screaming
With happiness
That’s Creek Road
Kylie CheloBeach
Gentle and warm
Whispering waves splashing
Kids laughing
Kites flying
Delightful wind
Mushy sand
Beaming sun
Sand Castles built
Umbrellas waving
Getting ice cream
Crowds of people like ants on a farm
And full of enjoyment!
Zander ProkopI am from
Spicy Trader Joes mandarin orange chicken served with noodles and shredded cheese, coffee ice cream on a hot afternoon with my family, hot Pizza Hut buffalo wings which make my mouth feel like it is on fire and eating hot sauce on a cold winter afternoon.
I am from playing baseball with my team on a warm spring evening, playing Mario Super Sluggers on the Wii, after my homework is done, taking care of my Venus trap named Snappy, playing basket ball on a hot, sunny afternoon and swinging on swings.
I am from the watching the Blue Rocks game on fireworks night, my grandparents house, watching TV and having great conversations, my Aunts house, playing Guitar Hero on a nice morning and my cousins house playing wiffle ball on a nice evening.
I am from playing Miles Born, my favorite game on a cold winter night and watching my sister play basketball.
I am from “Never say never,” when I’m trying to do my homework when I think I can’t do it. “Your as cute as a baby bunny” when I get my picture back on picture day. My sister saying,” I love you” in public trying to embarrass me.
“It’s time to go to school and “It’s time to go to play tennis”.

The Math Test
Everything was going so well but then it happened
The math test came
I was so nervous, I wondered what I was going to get
I had never failed a math test before but when I got it back
I couldn’t believe my eyes
I was destroyed
Teachers look at that test and take points off my grade
I can’t believe it
I was destroyed
Kyle Bardroff

Snails
Big shell, slime crawling
Green, gray shells under the sea
Snails are colorful.
Garbage
Lies over the ground
Garbage stinks up everything
It can’t be explained.

SNOW FLAKE
Falling, falling
Slowly, slowly white as clouded
Yummy as salt moves in the air like stars above.
Catch it on your tongue.
Silas Peterson
Tiger
A tiger watches its prey,
then pounce
Slowly the prey dies
dinner is served.
The tiger gobbles its food has quick as a piranha
then it hides its food for another day.
again the tiger goes out to find food
it sees an antelope,
a doe and me.
It caught the antelope,
it caught the doe
but it didn’t catch me.
Sean McGroarySpring
Let out with the cold,
And in with the hot,
Because spring is right here.
Winters past so has fall,
But summers on its way.
So it’s not winter nor fall
IT`S SPRING the most happiest
Time of all
There’s lots of seasons and
Lots of treats, but spring is the best
Treat of all.
Sean McGroary
Bacon
Crunchy, crispy
Smells like pig
Sizzle, sizzle
All ready to eat
Red and sometimes white
All juicy in my mouth
Can`t wait to get my hands on it
There it is
All savory and meat
I can`t wait
Until I eat
And when it’s ready
And all well done
I think I`ll probably
Eat a ton
I LOVE BACON!

Video gamesVideo games suck you into playing
Hard to control
Trying to win but can barely stand a chance
Makes you thinking only about the game
You are playing right now
Makes you feel frustrated when you lose
I think video games are fun and awesome
Even though they could be hard I still like video games
I wonder if video games are good or bad for you
Video games can be good for you
because they could help
You learn stuff that you have
never learned before
Video games could be bad for you
because they can have violence
and can keep you from studying or doing homework.
Billy KazunasWhat happens in spring?
Early sunrise birds chirping
Warmer weather
April showers bring May flowers
In school with the windows open and the fans on
Longer recess kids prepared for field day
After school kids ride their bikes in the park
Going for long walks kids wanting to play all day
Kids so tired going to bed early to do it all over again.
Jacqui Clair

Then spring
Flowers blooming
Grass growing
Easter coming
A couple more days of school
Then spring break
Vacation time

Dying eggs Easter morning
Playing outside
No more sweaters, that’s spring
Jacqui Clair
The Boardwalk
Bright lights
The chilly beach at night
Fun rides cool stores people rushing
Delicious cookie dough ice cream
Fun roller coasters
Pretty view
Lots of people and signs
Mac and Mancos pizza
Watch out here comes the tram car
Tall buildings people screaming
That’s the boardwalk

Gizmo
My dog Gizmo.
Follows me everywhere I go.
He follows me to my room then to the living room.
My Mom says that means that he loves me.
His tail wagging.
Eeewww slobber everywhere.
He smiles at me all the time.
When he looks at me it’s like he’s saying,
Thank, you thank, you
You made me so happy when your mom chose me.
His fluffy paws on me.
Like he’s trying to say I love you.
When we play I play with his squeaky toys.
Sometimes he might howl to the toy.
When we are done playing I tell him to get a drink of water.
No one wanted him so my mom chose him.
Brianna Earnest
Crazy Radio Lady
Dogs barking, Kids laughing, Cars passing by,
A girl in my neighborhood who turns her radio on
So loud, So early
So annoying you want to scream at her
Saying out your bed room window
Turn your radio down it’s so early
You think it works
It doesn’t , I yell louder , and louder
Until ,You hear someone else saying
Turn down that loud radio
But she still can’t hear you
It gets louder and louder until,
Oh, no, Someone’s at their door yelling,
‘‘ Why is your music so loud can you PLEASE turn it down,
She doesn’t turn it down,
Until, Oh, no Someone called the police.
You hear, ‘‘ Excuse me ma’am I’ve been getting many complaints, about your radio being way to loud
‘‘I’m sorry sir I’ll turn it down.’’
‘‘And make sure you close your window also.’’
‘‘Yes sir.’’ ‘‘I will. ’’
And that’s how it sounds in my crazy neighborhood.

My treasure
My treasure is diamonds and crystals. I have had them 5 years. I buy them and find them. I keep them in a glass box.
They sparkle, they feel cold sometimes the ends could be sharp!
They have different colors from black to pink. It can be all different shapes.
People carve them into hearts and triangle. They come out all kind of shapes. You can’t really explain them. But they are so cool. Sometimes they cost over 1,000,000 dollars!
You can find them in museums. Lots of famous people ware them like queens and president’s wives.
My treasure is important to me because they are cool and I give them powers like black crystals and diamonds can make people mad and red can make people happy.
I will kept them forever because they remind me of all the memories I had because they where there with me when they happened. I will pass them down to my family members and those members of my family will pass them down and so on.

The Tiger
Lying down comfortably on a bed of leaves
Soft fur and sharp claws
Strong with thin black stripes

Kyle PiccariJack , Jack the Hockey dog
I have a dog his name is Jack and he plays hockey.
And hockey to him is his life,
I pick up a hockey stick
He barks I pick up his hockey ball he barks
I hit the ball with my stick
He runs after it brings it back
I flick it he jumps for it and catches it
Bark, bark, bark
And then he smiles with the ball in his mouth bark, bark
Then he lays down puts his tongue out
and goes to sleep.

If you give a frog a frillet
If you give a frog a frillet
He will want some powdered sugar
It will remind him of Santa Claus.
So he will want to go to the North Pole.
On his way to see Santa he sees a creek
And he wants to go in.
When he goes in, he sees some of his friends.
Then they find a ball.
They play with the ball until the ball pops.
So then when he is on his way home
When he finds a twenty dollar bill.
Then he wants to go to the store
He wants to buy a new ball.
But he sees a frillet and powdered sugar.
Mitchell Davis
If I Could Be
If I could turn myself into
any animal it would be a bull
frog. I would be big and a King.
I could fight for the creek and
could swim at high speeds.
I could jump to escape danger and eat other frogs.
I would go to sleep for four months.
I would dig 14 holes in a lifetime. I would live in the creek for life and I get two different lives, tadpole and frog.
