in the water 
drowning 

a leaf 
dropped from the crow 
perching above 

the ant climbs on 
giving a grateful gesture 

an abandoned chick 
in the foliage 
begging for food 

a hoard of seeds 
placed by the giving crow 

the chick begins its feast 
flashing a thankful smile 

the moon arrives 
at the horizon 

the crow 
stretches its wings 
glowing 

a wizard stands in its place 
illuminated by the moonlight ]]> 2022-06-23 17:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229074596 ebpl https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229082501 It was another great walk to school in the humid, dim air. Though the sun wasn’t shining its optimism on all that were outside on this fine day, I still had it in me. For, as long as you are positive, everyday it is great. Including today. The birds still sang and the grass still swayed, and the leaves still were a brilliant green, and everything was great, since I said it was.]]> 2022-06-23 17:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229082501 ebpl https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229083531 As I move my feet, one after the other, walking out of the school doors. There's nothing I want more on a Monday afternoon. I watch the sky, the birds flying by, as if they are here to greet me. The trees, swaying with the wind, as if waving at me with their leaves, saying hello. I reach my neighborhood, I feel happy, as I am home now!]]> 2022-06-23 17:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229083531 ebpl https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229083737 He is strong, he can fly and he helps people. His name is Super D! Oh no! Someone is stuck under a tree, he needs help! Super D just flies, picks up the tree and saves the man! Thank you says the man, you’re welcome, says Super D!]]> 2022-06-23 17:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229083737 ebpl https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229085091 There once was a person named Jack. One day, Jack was trying to tell his daughter something, but she kept reading. Jack was furious. He took the book and colored marker on it. He returned the book and the desk checked it when he left. They saw the marker! They checked to see who was the last to have it and it was Jack! He got in trouble, and he learned his lesson!]]> 2022-06-23 17:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229085091 ebpl https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229086321 “Ahh!” I screamed as a yellow and black super giant stung me right in the leg. My mom rushed outside and immediately saw the nervousness on my face. I tried to hurry inside before another bee stung me. 

I laid on the couch. My mom got me an ice pack but the raging pain still remained. 

”Beep! Beep!” I heard an ambulance. Is that for me? I thought with great fear.]]> 2022-06-23 17:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229086321 ebpl https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229087463 I stare at the door, a sliver of light peeking through. I had been hiding here for too long. If only I could get the energy to go and grab the handle but I just could not. “IS ANYBODY THERE.” There was no response. I could hear something creeping closer. The wood was creaking under its feet and its claws were taping on the door knob like nails on a chalkboard. ]]> 2022-06-23 18:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229087463 ebpl https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229088962 As the sun fell to the ground during late afternoon I walked outside to adore nature. As soon as I sat down on the swing I heard a cry from not far away. I knew it was coming from outside. I had no idea where it was coming from. I noticed a bird stuck wing to wing across a tree. I climbed the tree and managed to get the bird down to safety.]]> 2022-06-23 18:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229088962 ebpl https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229092185 Life hurts but also heals. Kindness is what moves and heals us. Recently my mom and I had an accident. A truck hit our car on highway and fled. But thanks to stranger’s help, we weren’t hurt. Later while looking for a replacement car, we met a car owner who was a veteran and had been taking care of his mom, now 102-year-old, for decades. I was deeply moved by his kindness. ]]> 2022-06-23 18:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229092185 ebpl https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229097225 “It must hatch soon. The suns are rising-” 
“Don’t worry, love. The last Sunvern was centuries ago.” 

The nearly-hatched dragon can feel its parent's panic, but it can also feel the power of the suns. It knows it should hatch before the sunrise- But it doesn’t want to. The voice in his head wants that power. The first Sun rises, then the second- 

And on the third, final Sun- 
It begins the Hatching.]]> 2022-06-23 18:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ebpl/dfgroncduws4vyg9/wish/2229097225
