The Desert
by Anastasia
The desert sand is like wave in the sea,
Their ways are blind and deaf,
There are visible, slacked camels,
And the sun is hiding from the moon.
Charming City
by Yukie
Somewhere in the charming city,
A shrine is still sitting,
In the distance an attractive mountain,
guarding the city,
As the blue sky covers the air.
A Wonderful Day
by Lucia
On a bright day the sun hangs golden in the sky,
As children play happily in the warmth of spring air,
Birds fly overhead making me feel happy,
Creating a daytime glory.
The Lonely Tree
by Louise
A lonely tree stands as if worshiping in a light breeze,
Its leaves shudder in the wind,
Suddenly I see a bud,
Slowly the sun appears,
And the bud blooms,
As the tree lingers.
Polar Bear
by Jane
On an abandon ice land,
Where a polar bear lives,
When a fish jumps up from the clear water,
At it leaves footprints as a track.
Birds
By Nur Syafikah
Bird like to fly in the sky,
They always want to stay somewhere high,
Singing songs clear and bright,
Showing imposing colorful wings.
Shady Trees
by Brandon
Under the shady trees,
Is a brown bench,
A green soccer field in the background,
Children playing on a make-believe pirate-ship,
The sun is shining brightly.
Galaxies
by Do Min
Enormous spaces between one another,
Dynamic gangs of families living together,
Each one of them proudly praising themselves,
About their luminous energy for billion of years,
Among the crowded family members,
Who'd notice if one of them just fall down a-part?
A Dog Called Jenny
by William
Black blended into white,
With bushy tail and gentle bite,
Sloppy tongue and cold wet nose,
Jenny sees me off,
With a gracious pose,
That's our dog Jenny.
Night
by Sheila
The dark starry night sprinkled with,
Glittering stars,
The silvery moon,
Makes the thunderous city tranquil and still.
Ocean
by Thomas
The jumpy blue waves slowly hurtle over the sand,
With help from the cool wind the slight seagulls lively soar,
The colored umbrellas provide shade for the people,
While the shadowy sharks dwell in the coral,
And the sand castle towers over the sand.
Cheesecake
by Christie
I see a cheesecake on the floor,
This happened on Christmas Day,
I have a weird look on my face,
I look silly in that way.
Red Rose
by Christine
A red rose linger in a dull forest,
Waiting to be picked,
Lighthearted rain drops falling down,
Leaving puddles,
Heaving leaves sheltering the rose.
A tree
by Anupama
There is a quivering tree,
Light piercing through the thick leaves,
Against the blue, towering gigantic,
It seems to be powerful dynamic,
As the tree stands alone.

What To Do If You Were A President
By Egecan
Watch movies.
Jump on a huge trampoline.
Ski on Mount Everest.
Eat chocolate.
Go to Florida.
Swim at the Bahamas.
Ride on a limousine with pizza.
Eat ice cream.
What to do if you are a soccer player.
By Hoji.
You should run fast.
You should starch.
You should challenge.
You should run from your goal to their goal.
You should run after the ball.
You should shoot goal.
What to Do If You Were a Painter.
By Nur
Always paint a beautiful picture.
Be an art teacher.
Teach children.
Draw a picture of the sky.
And, draw a tree.
What to Do If You Were a Baby ...
By Louise
Cry every day.
Scream if people hurt me.
Crawl to get things.
Grab food.
Whine when I am tired.
Drool when I am happy.
And ...
Yawn when I want to go to bed.
What to Do If You Were a Horse.
By Sheila
Rush through the wind.
Jump over the cliffs.
Play happily with other horses.
Be beautiful and charming.
Run across the fields.
Swim in the rivers.
What to Do If You Are an Ocean.
By Anupama
Play with fishes.
Splash on rocks.
Do big waves for splashing the water.
Feed the plants.
Do big splashes for the living things and help them to grow their lives.
What to Do If You Are the Universe.
By Jane
You would hold up thousands of planets.
You would hold up stars and moons.
Have the black hole and Milky Way.
Be hot on some planets.
Be cold and solid on other planets.
Have different colored planets.
What to Do If You Were a Dancer.
By Christine
Have fun.
Dance all night.
Boogie all day.
Jazz everywhere.
Tap at a disco.
What to Do If You Were a Cat.
By Yukie
Scratch to the owner.
Sleep on the pretty bed.
Eat lots of fish.
Look hungrily at birds.
Find lots of foods.
Run to the owner.
What to Do If You Are a Military Servant.
By William
You'd;
- Trade weapons.
- Fight Enemies.
- Defend the country.
- Make the city strong.
- Sacrifice yourself.
- Be a modern knight.
What to Do If You Are a Teacher.
By Anastacia
Shout at poor children.
Give a lot of tests.
Give a lot of homework.
Give A's or F's.
Don't give them any pencils.
Say to read a lot.
What to Do If You Are a Princess.
By Christie
Have two dresses, blue and pink.
Be given magic gifts.
Follow a green light up a narrow stairway to a dark tower.
Prick a finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel.
Slumber under a spell.
Live long and happily till the end of life.
What to Do If You Were a Whale.
By Do Min
Take the spaces down the oceans.
Be an idle king of the giants.
Have a small family.
Jump out rarely from its deep place.
Have no teeth.
Be enormous.
Eat seafood.
What to Do If You Were a Shark.
By Thomas
I would eat other fish.
Sleep in dark deep caves.
Eat rudely, without a dish.
Roam the sea at night.
In the water I will splash and splash.
Frighten the other sharks out of their wits.
What to Do If You Were the Wind.
By Lucia
Move around the world.
Make sure the people and animals aren't too hot.
See the things going on.
Blow the grass, leaves and people's hair.
Take the scent of cakes and bread baking to different places.
Whisper at night and at day.
