The shiny suns rays Glare like Doris Day's face-smile Like twinkling toes On a surfboard at beach Tredding warm water by Ken Parker Parker, K. Kramer. A. Coogan, L. Gilman, Row 3: T. Hoback, S. Brame, C. Brownlee, A. Ubinger, J. Grandon, J. Reid, T. Ray One Person In a world Full of People Who may be Smarter Faster Better-looking Stronger Or funnier than you Sometimes you wonder If one person Matters But sometimes One person Can make all the difference In the world Especially To another person Who may wonder If they matter At all. The End of Man and Mouse Alone was the man Alone was the mouse Together alone Alone in the house Each other they spied A store in the eye Neither to realize They soon were to die The mouse ran away As the man stood brave A terrible Hash Twas their last day The flash went down It was barren all around Nothing was to stand It was the end of man and mouse. by Brian Hunter Smile! Have you ever had a day where nothing goes right? Where everything’s dark and nothing is bright. A day without sunshine so dreary and gray. And your friends and family feel just the same way. You begin to think nothing can change your mood. When all it would take wras a smile or two. A smile doesn't seem like such a big deal. But I know how good one can make you feel. So next time you see someone looking a little blue. Just smile and you'll see they'll do the same back to you. by Angie Coogan by Chad Rappe In Battle The horn is blown out on the field. The soldiers upon their horses charge. None yield. The first slash of sword. The first fallen man. No one remembers Who, least not in this land. In battle cry the men they come. Slashing, dashing, falling, done. The heavens roll with thunder. Lightening fills the sky. Conflict, Battle, Rage, War. Names and reasons men fought for. Some say they fight for no reasons, Least of all one. But their kids learn to fight. Their own skills they do hone. It was written in the Book that, We must turn our swords into plowshares. Without the help of the divine, Men will always be in battle. by Tim Farrell Mother Where spring was near and the world was new. And I was newborn as the morning dew. You held me in your arms and kept back my tears, Shhh ..you said, There's nothing to fear.” And as I grew you taught me the things That are necessary for life and the joy it brings. And now I take a moment to reflect, I discover now a deep felt respect. The respect of love; I know that it's true, I am glad to have a mother like you. by Kevin Harmon

PTA Poetry Contest Winners Lofty Sense when we were born, to value our lives with each new morn. Our eyes to see the branches flow, as the sun shines down and flowers grow. To hear the birds sing so happily, and taste the new apple so snappily. I touch the kitten so warm and soft, he loves to be with me in this dusty barn loft. As I stir about I can smell the hay. It's time to go in, but I want to stay. by Sheila Brame Wishing Wells Wishing Wells remind me of the days with- in my past. The happy dreams of childhood, the ones that never last. Dreams of perfect fairy tales. Like marrying a prince. Dreams that die as one grows older, when life becomes more tense. But do dreams die completely? Can one ever tell? Or are dreams just inside washing Wells? by Jennifer Reid Memories Memories are things that make you glad. Perhaps sometimes they’ll make you sad. When you think of something nice. Your heart goes out like wedding rice. When you think of something sad, Your heart and soul feel so bad. Joyous memories make you smile, Other thoughts may make you think a while. We all have memories of our own. That will stay no matter how we’ve grown. It’s good to keep memories in your heart, So that you will never be apart. Your memories are for you to keep, To live through and love, in your sleep. by Cindy Brownlee Cold, dreary, gray days The loud winter wind howling Like a big huge bear Growling at an intruder While you keep warm by the fireplace. by Tami Ray Poetry winners, L-R. Top to Bottom, Row 1: B. Hunter, T. Farrell, K. Harmon, B. Penny, M. Knackmuhs, C. Rappe, Row 2: E. Morgan, K. Choices Aim for a Star Aim for a star! Never be satisfied With a life that is less than the best Failure lies only in not having tried- In keeping the soul from being suppressed. Aim for a star! Look up and away, And follow its beakoning beam Make each Tomorrow a better Today- And don’t be afraid to dream. Aim for a star, and keep your sights high With a heartful of faith within Your feet on the ground And your eyes on the sky Some day you are bound to win! Sisters Always Argue and Fight. Sisters always argue and fight. Parents say it’s love, maybe they are right. We re so different in so many ways. But we ll stay together, forever, we pray. She’s a year older and smarter than me. But we always have fun, together you see! We always go shopping, down at the mall, And choose the best clothes, out of them all. We always go out and do wild things together. And we'll keep on doing them forever and ever. Choices are something that everyone makes. They are things we give and things we take. When one comes along, its a frightening task. For a choice is something that makes us ask. What do I do, what do I say, Shall we tomorrow or shall we today. Who will get hurt and who will pay, And why do I seem to be in dismay.” But when its all over and the choice has been made, Perhaps those feelings will suddenly fade. Do not look back on what has been said For then again, you may be mislead. So stand by your choice in what ever you do. For that choice was special — it came from you. Believe in yourself and never doubt For you are what your choice is about. by Lynn Gilman by April Wilbur by Kari Kramer
