To Win
The feeling
of proudness
The wonder
of feelings
Happily ever
will win
The contest
you started
The prize
and the pictures
That will be
taken for things
The feeling to
be a winner
To be proud
of you.

Shell
Contained
a reminder of the flowing sea
Peaceful
Exquisite
Unique
Textured
Rough
Highlighted a gentle pink
With specks of Jet
All on a trumpet
in the
ocean’s symphony.

Poem
A child in black
whose mind is full of thought
writing really fast
very sloppy
too.

Mr. Banana
Mr. Banana was very mad
that he lost his dad
He got very sad
It is ok to be bad
He has a pet cat
That was fat
It’s name was called Pat
That cat loves to catch rats
Pat always sleeps inside a hat
Mr. Banana and his cat
Were always friends
Without being sad or mad
Without rats or hat

Country Girls and City Girls
Leaving the stable just a little ajar
So horses don’t go zany
two city girls sat on the saddle and rode on
Afterwards feeling ambigious
discombobulated
giddy
they landed at no where
clothes out of vogue
ripped
torn
had a yearning to go back
but the horses were gone
Looking around
They were at another acre!
Met 2 country girls
with overalls
oversized shoes
and buck teeth
suggesting their place an asylum
the city girls agreed
but pajamases were taut
and no electron
the place was timberland
all corpse and grove
peas and broccoli for every potluck
country and city stepped into each other’s shoes
and city girls went back to the city.

Our School
Such a big school
for you and
me!
If we were not here
together
it wouldn’t feel the same.
There is a space
here
for everyone
who wants to learn!
We come to learn
not
to have
fun.
Sometimes it’s
fun to learn
and be educated!
It’s fun to go
to school
everyday Monday
to Friday!
It’s great
to learn with
our teacher
Ms. Bruno.

The 4th Floor of This School
An orange, white color
of the squares on the floor.
It has patterns
that fllow a
rainbow. All
the doors are
orange and they
form a color.

The Water-Bottle
Clear as can be
holographic
almost empty
flexible and plastic
-Lawerence Liang
Doors
Opening and closing
fast or slow
kept open
kept closed
white, blue
yellow, green
Any color It seems
Not meant to be
kept open but meant
to be kept closed
-Mark Napolean
Schoolyard
Though the door,
I see air squiggles undescribable
machinery, atop a large
house. Plae is the sky,
so white that it stretches
far away. Iron gates
keep up in and from
the gate that lies open.
Tall poles with
nets for which is
to play ball dangles in the wind.

The Picture
So
big, and
square
with bright colors
filling
in,
It’s surface is rought,
Looks old, But
in shape
A Brownish frame,
With an
engraved
style,
And
everything
in it’s
picture,
tells
everything about
it!
-Tatiana Lugo
Spring
Spring is here,
time to cheer!
All the flowers are
ready to blossom.
Winter is going,
the wind isn’t blowing.
Everything is
going awesome.
Bears are coming out,
people are about.
The weather is as
fresh as a daisy.
The sun starts to rule,
people dive in the pool.
No one cares to
be lazy.
-Kritika Swami
Poem
My brother’s toy
is
a turtle
and a snail
the turtle ate the balls
they’re inside the shell
You can see them.
