by Lexi Dodge of Mt. View Elementary

Time rhymes in the time
Later be gone
I say pretty much time rhymes in the time
Then you rhyme faster
Rhyme time in a book
Bells are ringing, but rhyming
In the clock tower.
On the time
Tick tock, for the time
Tick tock for the rhyme
Time to rhyme, time to rhyme
Time tower, time tower, wake up
Rhyme time, in the tower
Rhyme time with a cat, I say
There’s a mat
Rhyme time in a time
Bells are ringing
Time rhyme

Trees
by Danny Gibson of Skyline Elementary

Oh, I just love trees.
Sitting very tall and grand,
With branches swaying in the breeze
On the branches, seeking for light,
Are big, dense, dark green leaves.
Lots of animals shelter in the woods,
Such as squirrels, mice, birds, and bees.
But all the animals scatter and hide,
When winter comes and the lands freeze.
After all those years of wisdom and grandness,
A logger limbers a tree with great lease.
Bye, trees.
 
The Valley
by Zoe Dodge of Mt. View Elementary
 
The birds are singing, the sun is shining

The sky is blue, which the sun is in
With the Mt. underneath
In the city bellow you can see a barn a barn with little animals
Pigs in wigs, and chickens laying eggs
The flowers are blooming the frogs are croaking in the
Middle of the day
With the dog barking in the soft grass below
With the train going by, the dog is barking at the train as he runs
There are lots of flowers around the meadow
By the old oak tree
With the bees pollinated the flowers as they fly around buzzzzzz
There are puffy white clouds
The sheep dogs getting the sheep in the right pen
Horses in my yard
Ducks flying about
Life is simply not hard

Red

by Anchal Sharma from Skyline Elementary

Red represents the color of
My blood.
Red feels like
I’m swimming in
a strong fire with
red blasting flames.

juicy mouth-watering
tomato.

the red stripes
on U.S.A.’s flag.
Red is a color
That’s hot and angry
and it’s a powerful
color


Blue
by Sarah Taylor from Skyline Elementary

Blue is the rushing water in
A stream full of fish.
It feels as smooth as a
new book that
was made two days ago.

Blue sounds like
the rustling leaves
falling to the ground

in autumn.

It makes me
think

of being calm.

Blue is the sky
in summer
when there are
no clouds.

It is as
lazy as a
hippo
.

Blue is the
breeze.

Blue tastes as
satisfying
as a
chocolate
cake,
freshly iced.



The Phantoms River
by Ryan Slaughter from Skyline Elementary

A long river stretches
to and fro.
This river once belonged
to Phantom.

When Phantom died, he
cursed the river.

Now the days of trouble,

no water to bathe in,
but Phantoms river.

One who was brave took
a chance a did
bathe in the
water.


Looked normal then

twitched and twitched
and twitched.

And fell with a splash
and a scream.

my friends in.
Purple is the lavender
flowers in my
garden.


Me
by Mason Love from Skyline Elementary

My hair is like spiky sword,
I am odd like a flying penguin,
I like building as much as time
I like guitar as much as stretchy phalangies
I wish I was ribs on the grill . . . I would eat myself
To the bone.
I love the heavy and strong winds of the earth
like sky diving through the air,
my eyes are like turquoise rock
sometimes as brown as wood
My armpits yell I need B.O.!
Like a lion roaring in the
wind
I love jumping
as much as an eagle love soaring across the earth
I eat ribs and meat like a hungry tiger
and live in a city hidden behind the
Atlantic Ocean called the
Hidden Island.


What Am I

meant for school.
What am I?
I am a folder



The Engagement Ring
by Nathan Pringle from Skyline Elementary

One ring to rule all people,
And in marriage bind them,
So beware if you go,
To the dance with the Ring
in thy pocket,
And the ring shall betray you to the dorks,
Or the fice, ex-missionaries.
So if you get the
Ring,

thou must destroy it,
Where it was made.
Which is in the
heart of the mountain of
love,
in Sarouno’s Evil palace.
Beware of
The Engagement Ring.

neat feeling of yellow.

Yellow is a bundle.

Free the Fall Magic

Autumn wind is a gentle tornado
for the leaves.
Autumn mud is murky and gooey like cake
batter. (But cake batter tastes way better!)
Autumn clouds are like a gray Persian’s pelt.
Autumn’s fields are covered
in dandelion fluff.
Days are shorter while nights –grow longer.
And at the moment, all are thinking of turkey.
Do you feel it?


COLORS

by Jessica Demorest from Skyline Elemnetary

They make wonderful rainbows.
Roses have them too,
And so do the sunsets.
But the most important thing about

Is that the world is made of them.

there for you!

Who Am I ?

by Danny Gibsen from Skyline Elementary

When I speed into your body it
Makes you clench up.
“Oh no!” you think.
I will make an uncontrollable pain start
in your stomach.
I will frighten your skeleton right out

much worse than sharks.
What am I?
I am fear,
a terrifying emotion that nobody
could ever possibly like.

Football
by Zack Hoyt from Skyline Elementary

The most important thing about
FOOTBALL
is that you can throw the football.
This is the game
where you can tackle,

And play some more. But the most
important thing about
FOOTBALL
is that you can throw the
football.

But from when I was ababy, yes my hair is wavy but I still have
tendrils in motion.


Teen: hair, hair my cool hair, it flows like winds through a field of
wheat. Its strait and colored golden like the sun and frizzes in the
summer
heat.

Grown up: Hair, hair my awesome hair so curly it flows like honey,
but this is a different curl, no longer a bay swirl but still soft like the
