Trim® ©sMMWiwYr WAVES See the ocean, watch the ocean, watch the waves, when they start. Far out to sea, they always end up breaking against the rocky shore. My heart is like these oceans waves, starting far out, moving slowly, but it always, always ends up broken against the rocks when it ends. —Jill McMahan Jean Staggs, a junior who prepared the drawing for the poem Waves, said, From the poem, I imagined myself to be standing on a high, steep cliff. As I looked down, I could see waves rolling into the shore and crashing against the rocks at the base of the cliff. (. he poetry of three Hauser students was se-J I lected to be printed in ''The Republic's 1979 Page of Poetry. Marjorie Sea, poetry editor of the paper, selected the poems from among those submitted in conjunction with the State Poetry Day, October 15, 1979. Susie Krick, Kim Stone and Jill McMahan had their poems published in the paper. I've written poetry for assignments, but mostly for fun. It gives me something to look back and say 'I did it', said eighth gra- der Susie Krick about her poem A Painted World. Sophomore Kim Stone, who wrote “Leaves, said I enjoy writing poetry. She also said that nothing really inspired her to write Leaves. I wrote what I was feeling inside. “Waves, written by freshman Jill McMahan, compares the ocean waves to a persons' heart as they both can be broken. All the poets agree that poetry seems to pertain to everyday life. People can always relate to it. 22 Student Creativity

A PAINTED WORLD He painted all the trees so pretty and green, He painted the world with a beautiful scene. He painted the birds that soar in the sky. They soar and soar, way up high. He painted the water so deep dark blue, And then again he made me and you! And in the water he put the fish, And thus he made the waves! —Susie Krick When I read 'A Painted World,' I thought about all the beauty around a peaceful lake. The contrasting colors of mallards really display the way God painted the world, senior Maria Miller commented on her drawing and the poem by Susie Krick. LEAVES Leaves are fluttering through the breeze Flying carelessly between the trees. Then solemnly landing on the angry ground; Having complete patience. Silence is its sound. The leaves are much like sun- beams Trapped in the furious wind. Then surrendering to the ground. There they begin to mend. The heavy wind seems to whistle a tune Rustling noises faltering to the ground; The sound they make is heavenly Singing fall in a beautiful sound. —Kim Stone Junior Randy Venable, who drew the illustration for Leaves, said, Leaves, falling from the trees in autumn with all their different colors, are always pretty. It symbolizes the nearing end of life for some and the hope of a new beginning for others. Student Creativity 23
