Friends
Friends are good to have
They help you in times of need
People you can trust
-Matthew Miller
Winter
Silent towns with skies so white
You shiver in the chilly night
Snowflakes gently kiss your face
The crack and pop of the fireplace
The wind whispers in your ear
You clear your mind so you can hear
Bringing families close together
For memories they will share forever
Gliding on the slippery, smooth ice
Hot chocolate in the cold sounds nice
Bundled up like an Eskimo
The winter steals your heat and you don’t know
Snowmen we make in blankets of white
Snowball fights will excite, alright
You can love it for any reason
This is really a beautiful season
-Ralph Reyes
Springs Things
The sun cuts and peeks through
Fluffy wool-like clouds
Providing an ingredient for plants and
Warming our backs
Billions of flowers of rainbow colors
Tango, waltz, ballet
Through the whispers of the wind
Spreading a beautiful aroma
The calm cool breeze blows softly
Baby calm and baby soft
Keeping me at a nice temperature
In the climate of warmth
All of these qualities conjoin together
Loved ones playing outside
Don’t look from the window in
Staring at spring
-Seika Robinson
Enchanted Beauty
Nature is lovely.
Lovely as open flowers,
Blooming all year round.
-Mona Metwally
The Song of the Wolf
Her grey muzzle
Touches the sky
Singing to the stars
Her wonderful,
Amber eyes,
Scope over this land
Beside her lay her
Young pups.
Their yips and yowls
Fill the mountaintop
She cuddles them
Protecting them
From the bitter wind
Until they are grown
The pack surrounds her
Like an army protecting a nation
Her bushy tail
Swishes with joy
As her young pups
Cuddle next to her stomach
As if trying to climb
Back in
Weeks pass by
And the she-wolf
Gazes with her
Amber eyes into
The distance
She lifts her tender muzzle
And sings
Her pups join in
Though not with
Playful yips and yowls
But as strong wolves
All singing into
The starry sky
-Victoria Connelly
When The Seasons Change
The leaves fall from the trees
Summer is lost in the past
Winter is now here
-Alyssa Matula
Super Bowl 42
The crowd screams and shouts
As we all know, the Patriots are out
The Giants are undefeated
In New York they were warmly greeted
They achieved a great goal
They are a team as a whole
They played through rough weather
But they remained together
Giants win Super Bowl 42
Today they are known as “Big Blue”
-Rosario Macri
