Moon By Donald White Jr, 4th grade, Dunlap Elementary The moon is a light bulb Illuminating the night sky. Skid gliding over the white snow “SHHH, SHHH” While an egg Is waiting to crack While the wind Is blowing I hear the howl of a wolf on a cliff In the midnight sky “HOOOWWWWLLLL! HOW! HOW! HOW!” “HOOOWWWWLLLLLL!” A Bright Rose by Anna Elodio, 4th grade, Dunlap Elementary
I’m a bright rose That grows every day And once I am Bloomed My petals leave me And fall in a paper When it magically happens They turn into words That makes a poem About a Bright rose. The Silence in My Room by Sabreen Nelson, 3rd grade, John Muir Elementary I was sitting in my favorite chair listening to my heart beat like a hammer putting nails into a wall, the sky as blue as blue could be, putting a shiny mist of air upon me, I saw three tiny turtles walking across the road, a little kid blowing bubbles that went high in the sky, the moon pushed the sun away and shined bright on me, clouds turned into stars, a tree held a chameleon the size of me, my little desk creaked, the silence was over when my little brother screamed. White Drops by Tara Dill, 4th grade, Graham Hill Elementary
Snow fell during the night with glistening drops of freezing, frittering snow, snow, snow! Finally fun, filling snow. I stared at the stars still shining, staring at the drops. The sky was black and white with snow still fluttering, flurring, falling, slowly like drops of water dripping from the tap. I jumped, jipped and cried with glee. A bright light was shining in my hurtful head. The snow was in my head dancing like fairies at a party, the tinkling music filled the air as the snow outside seemed to twirl, trill and jump. My head went blank, everything except the snow was blurry. I hoped it would never end THUMP! I had fallen asleep. It did end with a snap! Grace barked, as I awoke, I rushed to my window, it was gone and it was morning. Why You Should Take the Garbage Out by Cacima T. Lee, 4th grade, John Muir Elementary
Banana, orange, and apple peels. Apple cores and things that come when daddy snores. Mossy ice and whip cream. Carrots chomped up by parrots. Bees and peas, Flies and pies. Popcorn balls stuck on the walls. Broken rakes and cakes. Dry frog skins, thumbtacks and pins. Oh, just take the garbage out dad shouts. But it is too late, for the pile was just too great. It spreads throughout the state. Twinkle, Twinkle by Daniel D. del Fierro, 5th grade, John Muir Elementary
My dad left when I was four I remember him teaching me a song or more It’s one you readers might know It goes around the world like a paper airplane flows Twinkle, Twinkle little star it is Others think the big star is him I know, don’t think that he is with me right here in my heart. I wish I wish By Irene, 4th grade, Beacon Hill Elementary
