SPRING Spring is a time to play I love Spring. I like to see baby animals SPRING Spring is a happy feeling For fun it is my favorite season. It's a good time to lie in the sun. I like to hear the birds sing and smell the pretty flowers in the sun. I like to see baby fish swimming in a pool and rabbits hopping up and on the grass. That is for today. SPRING Spring is a time to I like to fly a kite see green grass and plant vegetables down all play. and WISH UPON A STAR When I am in the city Where the bright lights glare, Stars are not as pretty Even though I stare. When I am in the country The lights are not as bright That's what makes my pretty star A wonderful sight. by Christian Johnsen Grade l by Erin Kaiser Grade l by Corene Grams Grade I THE COBRA By Cameron Proudfoot Grade 2 by Oliver Spackman Grade 2 The cobra roams the jungle quiet as can be. Faster faster through the grass the cobra slides. Then he sees a man. He slides and he takes a bite. When the man falls, the cobra slides away.

ELEMENTARY POETRY CONTEST DIVISION I WISH UPON A STAR By Louis Williams Grade 3 I wished upon a star one night, And there is was, sparkling bright. It looked so lonely against the vast sky, It almost made me weep and cry. I wondered if my wish would come true, As I wished upon a star that seemed so blue. I uttered a prayer to the lord above, Who has in his heart mercy and love. I wished the star had more of its kind, So it won't be lonely for me to find. Suddenly the sky was lit, With stars, like jewels, bit by bit. I saw my wishing star grow brighter and brighter, Which made my heart lighter and lighter. Then I wished upon this star of mine, To make all my wishes fall in line. 52125295.11 War Against The Night By Jeffrey Davis Grade 5 As darkness slowly creeps across the sky Covering the earth with a thick, black coat, I watch the sun retreating to the west, Fearfully surrendering to the night. The wary sun decends to the horizon Illuminating the sky around dark, lingering clouds The night travels mercilessly on, Dragging its eerie gloom behind it. Night time has taken over fully, Shielding the light of the now desperate sun. Spirits of darkness haunt the earth, Working for their tragic lord. Finally, the sun victoriously breaks through, Its rays dancing through the darkness. With renewed strength light penetrates the darkness, Signalling nature to begin the new day.
