Flowers

By: Emily Feltenberger

In the winter petals fall,

The petals are really small,

In the summer purple flowers

Pop up in a row,

Then the flowers start to grow,

While it sits there watching the fun,

It looks a lot like the sun.

Dogs by Sydnee Campbell

A dog barks

As loud as

Thunder

With fur as warm

As the sun

Eating up

All the food

Wanting seconds

For both

Lunch and dinner

When you open

The door they

Sprint out to

The green grass

Like to fall asleep on the floor.

You’ve got a lot of might

To get me out of my bed,

I will ignore you till you go away,

Come on back another day.

Have some fun

And I’m betting

Over 103

It may be night

But it’s still light

My delicious prey

They think I am a rock

But I blend in like a block

And I blend in with the grass

Waiting to attack my prey - snatch!

Or even the moon

Your Lava pours all the way to the

Sea
