Crowd roaring at the players.
Baseballs getting hit every which way.
Popcorn people yelling, trying to sell popcorn.
And me, cheering for the Phillies, listening
Ants going tiptoeing.
Spiders catching small bugs in their webs.
Stink bugs stinking up places.
And me, checking myself for bugs, listening.
Pencil sharpeners rumbling.
Different pencils moving across the paper.
Erasers rubbing out mistakes.
And me writing a poem, listening.
Wind rushing around in the air.
Leaves dropping one by one.
The fence shaking and clanging.
And me, relaxing on the hammock, listening.
By Hayden
Tapshoes tapping out loud.
Dancers fluidly dancing.
Music blaring out of the stereo.
And me, sitting down watching joyfully, listening.
Family and friends cheering on the team.
Cleats thumping against the soccer ball.
Kids calling for other kids to pass the ball.
And me, sitting on the bench, listening.
Cartoons shouting out.
Disney channel going on and off.
On Demand visiting when nothing else is on.
And me, sitting on the couch, listening.
Rumbling as if a hurricane hit.
Cleaning dishes and bowls.
Along with shiny utensils.
And me, sitting at the table, listening.
By Megan
Snow drifting slowly to the ground.
Sun rising over the horizon.
Wind swirling through the trees.
And me, shoveling the sidewalk, listening.
Soldiers fighting on the battlefield.
Guns firing through the night.
Men screaming out in pain.
And me, tears stinging my eyes, listening.
Birds chirping quietly to one another.
Flowers blooming in the sun.
Squirrels searching for nuts to eat.
And me, swinging on the swings, listening.
By William
Planes landing on the runway.
People chatting, waiting to get on.
Engines roaring noisily.
And me, gazing at the wonderful machines, listening.
Rain pouring on the ground.
People playing games in their house.
Cars splashing through puddles on the street.
And me, gazing out the house windown, listening.
Wind rushing in the sunset.
Bugs shooting off of branches.
Leaves rustling as woodpeckers peck the tree.
And me, sitting on the porch swing, listening.
By Harry
Burning lava exploding out of an enormous volcano.
People running in terror.
Hot ash pouring down on the burning cities below.
And me, running away from lava trying not to get burned, listening.
Furniture spinning in circles.
Dust and wind colliding into a mixture of circles.
People screaming for help.
And me, trying not to get sucked in, listening.
Balls of ice pounding on the window, trying to get in.
Windows cracking with a big THUD.
Balls flying everywhere.
And me, hiding in a crammed up cupboard, listening.
A gigantic wave over a hundred feet high, crashing over houses.
People getting drowned in the water.
Lifeguards murmuring, "Oh, man." and running away.
And me, trying to get away as fast as I could listening.
The solid Earth cracking for the first time.
People hanging off the ledge asking for someone to save them.
Cracks cutting through the Earth, like glass shattering.
And me, examining it in a helicopter, listening.
By Akhil
The wind rapidly rushing into my face.
Leaves getting bigger and greener by the second.
Rain drizzling out of the sky.
And me, walking into my house, listening.
Darkness spreading throughout the city.
People snoozing soundly in their beds.
As raccoons start to scratch trashcans, hoping to find food.
And me, lying in bed, listening.
Sirens screaming day and night.
Smoke alarms beeping very loudly.
People shouting for help.
And me riding in my car, going across the street, listening.
By Mayeesha
Wii remotes clicking in the livingroom.
My little sister running around like a nut.
Cars rushing by our house.
And me, sitting on the couch, listening.
Leaves of all different colors falling in slow-motion to the damp ground.
The wind gracefully blowing through huge oak trees.
Raindrops pouring down and soaking everything.
And me, gazing out the windown, listening.
Butterflies fluttering in the afternoon sunlight.
Birds zooming through the bright blue sky.
A squirrel scurrying up a big maple tree.
And me, sitting at the lemonade stand, listening.
By Layla
Sticks hitting the ground.
The crowd cheering for thier team.
Coaches screaming and complaining about the calls.
And me, in my net and crease, just listening.
Fishing poles casting in the water.
Patient people on the dock, waiting for a bite.
People redocking and recasting.
And me, with my rod rolling up fish, listening.
Flat screens showing my favorite show.
My brother changing the channel to something loud.
Fighting Noah with something sharp.
And me, in the fight, listening.
By Maxwell
The faucet dripping water underneath the spigot.
Leaves falling from under the trees.
Peeking from the window, kids sleeping in their beds.
And me, sitting on the coach, listening.
Video games blasting out sounds.
Thunderstorms yelling at the trees.
Pouring rain from the sky.
And me, looking out of the window, listening.
Pizza getting cut into eight slices.
Pepsi being poured into a glass.
People praying before they eat.
And me, at the dinner table, listening.
By Sean
Rushing waterfalls tipping over a cliff.
A toucan squawking on a coconut tree.
Monekys co-oo-ing and ah-ahing.
And me, standing letting the light shower drip on my nose, listening.
Babies sleeping in a rocking cradle.
Mothers humming a traditional tune.
The moon shining through the window.
And me peeking through the crack of the door, listening.
Detention-silence.
Only the sound of pencils moving.
People whispering and passing notes.
And me, glad that I wasn't there, listening.
Firecrackers popping unexpectedly.
People jumping up with fright!
Sometimes causing a little fire.
And me, just laughing, listening.
One warm summer night.
Crickets rubbing their legs together.
Bats flying in caves.
And me, throwing bottles, listening.

Dear tsunami,

The way you rumble makes the world screech "Get ready! Danger is calling!"
I wish you would go away.
