Majestic mountains
Full of life
Bears, people, squirrels, rabbits
Birds, deer, beaver, trout
The great Smoky Mountains
By Ryan, Jared, and Austin
Purple, red, and white flowers
They bloom everyday
The trees and mountains patched with snow
Right inside of Washington where the grass grows green
The sky is blue above the tall mountains
The sun shines on the small hills
The world is a beauty
By Mark, Cory, and Caleb
Out on some land there is a broken castle
The castle is by the sea
There are ditches next to the castle
Surrounded by mountains with goats all over the place
No doors and a roof made of hay
Huge rocks in a circle with pebbles inside the circle

A volcano sits sprinkled in snow
A mountain range looms in the back
Pine trees covered in snow cover the volcano
The mountains make a cup shape around the volcano
The volcano looms in Crater Lake at a National Park

Thirty windows from the side we saw
Pond in front of the castle
Lots of trees and plants
In the background trees taller than the castle
The entrance door is red
Two flag poles on top of the castle in Ireland

Stones dot a streams still surface
A tall glacier looms in the distance against a pale blue sky
Whispy strands of grass stick out over the water
Tall pines shoot out of the ground
This is Yosemite, the National Park
By Alden and Eva
Deep dark blue surface shinning in the light
Mountains in the morning light still covered in snow
Trees are still defrosting
Their dark green showing through the snow
The pale blue sky lit up like a beautiful blue light bulb
This is Glacier National Park
By Kate and Michaela C.
I love the ocean and the beach
When I run in the water, I feel the cool water rush between my toes
I like to build sand castles in the warm sand
When I lay in the sand, I can see the beautiful clouds
I love the ocean and the beach
By Paige and FiFi
White dots appeared out of the sky
I wondered why they fly so high
They came down cold and wet
As they rained down upon us, they looked like beautiful shimmering stars
Snow had been drizzling down into Tennessee

Juicy and sweet
Seven seeds
Grows on a plant
Good enough for an ant
The drippy watermelon cools you off on a hot summer day

The sun beaming on hot metal
Screaming, running through your head
The carts rolling over tracks with the thrill of a lifetime
The Disney World Theme Park is quite an amazing place to spend a hot summer day

Shih-Tzu are cute and cuddly
Shih-Tzu are soft and small
Shih-Tzu are black, brown and many more
Shih-Tzu bounce and pounce around
Shih-Tzu never leave the ground

Very, very rocky
With many pinnacles
Fortress made of stone
ridges and rocky cliffs outlined by the sky
It is Bryce Canyon, Utah
By Peter and Thomas
Peeking out of the earth
Easily crushed yet strong enough to break concrete
Pale with just a hint of the green to come
Seeds sprout in the Spring
