The top is silver like a tin can

Lots of attachments

It goes on the roughest trips

Some hold lots

Some hold little 

But they all hold

Peter W.

Surveying 

Swooping 

Snacking

Owls’ daily work

Peter W.

Tackle  hard

In the sun

Me and friends

In the grass

All day long  

So much fun

Liam H.

a lot of people like them 

a lot of people hate them 

there are many 

things that it

could have 

violence to 

violins  

they are fun

they are frustrating 

it is video games 

Brendan H.

Capture the flag, hide and seek.

Running yard into yard,

Cold air slapping your face.

Then you are sleepy, tired, and exhausted.

In bed, as cozy as a hot fire.

All nice and

warm.

Amelia O.

 when you first start it, ain't really fun you got to practice

 It makes you mad, but if you want to get really good

 you have to practice every day.

 If you have practice and you come home 
 And if you don't have a basketball hoop

 Then practice on your dribbling. All you gotta do is practice and you got to believe.

Blue M

Wake me up

Like a slap to the face—

Nothing like a slap

In the face

To wake me up

Collin C.

Of twists and turns

Escape—

Almost impossible

I am trapped—

Trapped in the maze

Of life

Window,

Gigantic

White peaks

Reaching towards

The sky

   a curling  thread

  in the dark

We gaze at it

         wondering

A bright white

         Pebble

     Streaks

In the black,

  And we

             WISH

Jaeda P.

Begging their tiny red balls to linger

But they are plucked away by tiny fingers

Eaten by tiny eager teeth 

And plucked away again

Apples 

Red as blood

Jaeda P.

if it is bad or good or even great what matters is that you don’t have the baddest of dreams 

and you have the goodest dreams. Go deep into your,re irene mind. And if you have good dreams, you are ordnance! 

But it's just the beginning.

                                              Josephine H.

Turn my mind up around and back again.

Why do I wait for something that may not happen,

Why do we all wait for nothing to change. 

Why do we act like it's alright? When really we have no idea what’s going on. 

Abbie O.

It was not being able to be seen through all the dark shadows.

I used to not know what I was missing. But now I do.

Missing the long hallways that led to happiness,

Missing the longing of a high sun and wonderful green grass,

Missing the people that put the world back together when it needs it most,

What you might not think you would say could be so real you would. 

Abbie O.

It wraps the tube,

Tight,

Thin little path that can go on,

And on,

And on,

Around it goes

One so delicate,

A single move and all will unwind

River N.

she yelled

faintly

I hear running behind

I start running,

she grabbed,

I tugged,    

we fought.

River N.

I start writing, drawing, and start putting my mind on the surface

I Make scratching noises.

River N.

Ceremony                                         

No speeches by your fellow classmates  

And senior photos taken by 

Your parents

Graduation is very hard this year.

Lily S.

It flies high it dips low 

It rises higher 

And higher 

And higher 

It gets so high into the atmosphere 

That POP! 

It EXPLODES!

Lily S.

About them that people just love

Kids love to 

climb them 

Families and couples love to 

Picnic in their shade 

We use them for Christmas trees 

We use them to hold hammocks 

Swings too 

They help us to breathe 

Man, I love trees.

Lily S.

Clocks awakening  

Ding dong ding dong

The people plug their ears 

And the clock keeps singing

Kaia S.

Underestimated and dreaded

Sweet and beautiful

Ugly and clashing

Those sweet flowers

Jasper O.

My sleep is disturbed

Razor knifes and cheese graters 

The pain is killing me

Jasper O.

Hot sand touches my ankles 
giving me the chills,
While the cold breeze flutters across my face
Seaweed attached to my toes, that gives me a tickle 

And the sun falls going to awake someone else up,

For the sun 
can cross their night.

    Lily C

  Shimmering light, fading into the distant,      

 Spring, Summer sky.

     Lily C.

Sits an old marker.

But it is still good as new.

Never been used,

Never been touched.

Brown.

Who everyone thinks is one ugly color.

Used for poo

 and dirt, which 

NO ONE 

draws.

Now it is still in its box as still as a statue.

Still never been used,

And never been touched.

Amelia O.

A picture in its frame.

It sat there for years, 

But you will never know how much

 it means to 

me.

Amelia O.

I buy a soft crunchy apple

when i bite it…..

It crunches,

as if it were a cracker snapping in half,

its skin as glossy

as the sky itself,

the flesh as soft

as a pillow.

Zoe C.

So cruel 

starting to 

Drool

Maxwell B.

Into the sky I go

Oh no

I come down 

Hitting 

Black

Then I go up again

Touching the 

Trees

Looking at the

 white

 that 

Is right above

Me

Fall 

Fall

Hit the net and it 
catches me

TIME TO GO

Jump 

Hit the ground 

Run Run Run 

I remember it like it was yesterday

Neya D.

Drops of rain

Sprinting down the field

You gather a swarm

Of defenders all around you

Every person tries to steal

The ball but every one of them

Gets their ankles broken.

Naomi J.

Sun rising in the east 

sleepy eyes glazed over with content.

 

Wake up, start the day

with the traditional blanket snuggle on 

the couch.

The noises clammer around me

like I am still not 

fully here.

The stairs seem to 

tower in front of me 

like endless chinks in an old wall.

Dress, brush my hair pat 

the cat.

Now I feel alive.

Long day full of things 

I don’t always understand, but others I do.

Outside breeze with some 

Ice cream.

Sun sets in the west 

almost back to 

the way I started.

But maybe not 
for tomorrow is another day 
not the same, just different.

Hannah T.

Darkened 
And I was asleep 

I was ready for what came next

I lost
The end has come as if life has won

Xavier M.

So cute
With his little

Brown spots 

And white fur

A dog

Sleeping

At night

In his bed

All curled Up

Huck A

Dung beetles walking everywhere

Chameleons changing color

Cacti growing stronger

Scorpion stinging everything in sight

Snakes looking for their prey

The air is as dry as a old Fossil

I have found nature

Oliver w.

Waiting to calm you down

Words, pictures and diagrams too

Books are for me and you

Oliver w.

It tastes like magic

Soft Sweet

Fruit

Oliver w.

The earth is devoured by the mist covering it completely and raced away without a trace

Xavier.m

The cat moved

Flying across the

Room!

With claws flared,

They hit the counter

The cup wobbles, 

It spins, then

Smash! is the

Only sound.

Bianca.A

Dark-green house

Always said

Weird creaks and

Groans as if It were a 

Monster.

Beautiful pink tulips 

Bloomed in front of 

the house

Despite the horror.

Bianca.A

People going out now 

As it spreads

 it seems 

It could be the end of humanity

As it spreads

People are wearing masks

As it spreads

Social life slowly lowering

As it spreads

Germs 

Harsh

Like a zombie

Infecting

As it spreads

Gary B.

Dollar bills in our pockets

Picking out sweets and gum 

Then we see

A bottle of soda

It towers

Putting back

Half our stuff

To buy it

Heavy

Like a weight

Lasts us long

Gary B.

Pop

Snap

Embers float around 

Like they’re dancing

Swimming through the chilly darkness

Fading into nothing

As they fall

 new embers come 

Swimming

Dancing

Fading

Crackle 

Suni.R

online work

My brain is slowly rotting

Online work

Its harder to do 

online work

Less than a month

Till it's over

Online work

Germs all around

The only way to stop 

Coronavirus

Hurling speed

Is online work

And quarantine

Gary B.

Over the mountains of white and into the 

light Blue skies above.

 Clouds and birds sing their song of harmony.

Oh how I like Sunday...

Seb. V

 I can fly like a bird,

 I am a bug 

 I am a bee

 I love flowers 

 And i love me... 

 For me
Zoe.C

Black space,

Floating about

What joy, 

What fear,

and 

Sebastian.Valladares

Tired and lazy

Immersed in

My screens

No one to

Play with

Nothing to do

I'm so bored 

Huck.A

His mask is as black as a blank TV screen

I see him raccoony

He’s as small as a mouse

I jump on my bed with him

He fits on my finger

But I lose him anyway.

Racoony now is Racoony 6

I snuggle him under my chin

I am content

Raccoony is happiness

Colter S.

Underappreciated by some

Really

Big

Ohhhhh

Tank

Amazing

Not my sister’s

Kind of toy 

  
Colter S.

Jumping on my

Tramp at night

cold and Dark

like a black hole

Up down 

Up down

Huck A

extremely incredible,

volcanoes and rain forests,

lava and water,

beaches with white sand,

teal, clear waters

I want to see Hawaii, 

because of its sights

D. B.

Passing flowers and trees along the way

Looking out for beautiful views

Searching for shooting stars

and...

I never found a drinking horse.

D. B.

Small, 

With extravagant colors,

An antidote for stress, 

Where crickets can be found chirping,

With colors of cotton and goldenrod,

A place I can stay all day!

D. B.

I’m only alone if you’re with me

I only need to be with you

I only need you to want to be with me

Not always will you stay, 

But when you do, 

I feel safe when I’m alone, 

But feel not alone at all

I’m only alone when you lay softly

On my lap my small lovely ball of fluff,

My alone partner, Kitty cat.

Jude H.

A headache like hitting a wall

Collapsed

Agonizing pain

Talons pressured to

Mind-reading scales

Her wings

A midnight sky

Dwindle  to the ground

Beside her smooth, snakeskin scales

The futures were wavering

Avalon S.

Stretches out for miles

So quiet

The streets are empty

But full of a fear

And so we stay

Trapped

Prisoners to home

So very, very quiet.

K.M.

It rings through the air

Echoing

Echoing

The rain pounds on the ground

As drums

Shattering the sky

The whispering wind

Falls

In the face of thunder.

And then again..

Keely M.

What does it mean? 

Nothing to do?

 sitting alone?

Just there while everyone plays?

Yes

No

Maybe 

Some grown-ups say 

Ok if you are bored then come and help me 

Then you probably say 

No that is ok 

I am going to play ---

But you are still bored 

Bored like a horse just sitting in the stable nothing to do bored

Neya

Summer is a time of 

Play 

Happiness 

Joy 

It is also hot 

Fun 

Relaxing 

Cool

For me summer is 

My break

Time to hop in a pool 

Jump through  a Sprinkler 

Have some fun.

Neya

Covered in a big green dress

It is filled with life

It gives food and shelter to all that dares to go

People and creatures live there 
On the Mountains

Josephine.G

When it touches your nose it sends shivers down Your back, like a wave of water cleaning the sand one after another it comes.

It pours down white like angels.

When you go outside to play 
no sound just the wind 
Howling like wolves.

Josephine.G

It waits for you to be vulnerable…

Then it STRIKES!

You can’t get rid of it

It comes to stay

For when you feel it wants to strike

You run away

Only for it to find you again

Sadness

Josephine.G
