Paul Carver, P. 2 IN THE FOREST I am in the forest damp and dark, leaves fall quaintly like Mary Queen of Scot, Christopher Lee, P. 3 A SQUIRREL A young squirrel glides down from a tree, For the first time he ventures out of his nest. The wide world is full of wonderful things to see, And nature is now clad in her best. He has a grand time playing with new friends. Running around, jumping about among the fallen leaves. Night comes on and the game ends. He climbs back to his nest and a deep sigh he heaves. Herve Le Pierres, P. 5 PERSEPHONE Persephone in the dark veil, Standing there in the blinding gale.

Her knitting needles click back and forth in the sunshine. The old lady rocks back and forth. BuffyRees,P. 6
