Video Games Everyone constantly playing Nobody ever stopping Blistering their fingers And me, watching the TV screen. By: Ethan Mrs. Cothran's Class	Eating People sit at the table waiting for food Everyone bloating gigantically Fighting over seats And me, watching out the window. By: Ethan Mrs. Cothran's Class
Watching Garfield sleeping Listening to Martha Speaks Eating honey chicken nuggets sitting on the couch And me, thinking about what to watch next By: Callista Mrs. Loughran's class A brave knight chasing after a villainous dragon. The old wizard dueling the wrinkly troll. The king himself dodging the giant spider pinchers. And me, my eyes whizzing across a page in my book. By: Drew Mrs. Johnson's Class
Circus Tigers coming in through the big top entrance Walking around in their small cage Elephants snorting their long trunks And me, waiting for the show to begin. By: Olivia Mrs. Cothran's Class Animals Birds chirping a lovely song Wild cats pouncing on their prey Vultures are squawking eating the cat's leftovers And me, looking and hearing the cat's fearsome growl. By: Olivia Mrs. Cothran's Class
Racing down the street Jumping in the sky Riding my bike And me, falling down By: Elizabeth Mrs. Loughran's class	My brother brushing his teeth. Ansley screaming up a storm. Natalie having a pillow fight. And me, resting fast asleep. By: Lathan Mrs. Johnson's Class
SeaWorld Walking through the entrance Ready to ride every coaster in the park The people riding were screaming with pleasure And me, right there with them. By: Olivia Mrs. Cothran's Class Shamu Show Huge whales left, right, and center Splashing the crowd One large leap as a whale went crashing into the water And me, soaked wondering if I would dry off. By: Olivia Mrs. Cothran's Class Gliding in the water. Groaning all the way. Splashing on the surface. And me, gasping for air. Pounding on the roof. Someone banging on the door. My dad stumbling toward the door. And me, nervously screaming in my mind. Running around the town. With a frightening glare in his eyes. Jumping through the streets. And me, yelling at this weirdo. Bouncing on a pogo stick. As someone's walking through the streets. Eating a bell pepper. And me, waiting, watching it all. By: Chris Mrs. Johnson's Class
The Jungle Monkeys crying for the hunter to go away Snakes hissing at them Wolves howling at the midnight moon And me, laughing heartily. By: Emily Mrs. Cothran's Class	The Zoo Penguins lying on the ground Cheetahs meowing quietly Sloths sleeping on a branch And me, watching them do it. By: Emily Mrs. Cothran's Class
Shuffling, ruffling leaves. Sun shining brightly. Chirping birds eating seeds. And me, snapping photos of it all. Charlene diving in the watery pool. Splashing the cold water on Heather. Smiling and getting out. And me, yelping with dripping wet hair. Riding on a galloping horse. Swinging and swaying back and forth. Wind howling all around. And me, enjoying it all. By: Tracy Mrs. Johnson's Class Recess It was recess and my class was walking A small breeze blew their hair in their face Something was wrong, they used to play all day And me, I jumped up and down yelling at them. By: Kaya Mrs. Cothran's Class My Cats My cats are the cutest things in the world They lay down on you and start purring They are only one year old, but very active And me, petting them all day. By: Kaya Mrs. Cothran's Class
Friends splashing Yelling Marco Polo Jumping in the pool And me, laying in the sun tanning By: Kayla Mrs. Loughran's class	A baby bird chirping for its mother. A fox hunting for a meal. A lonely rabbit running for its life. And me, observing a family of deer. By: Sara Mrs. Johnson's Class
Light blue water shimmering. Sun shining brightly. Laughing children everywhere. And me, getting ready to jump in. Cool water warming. Older kids diving. Other kids splashing. And me, floating in the water. By: Gage Mrs. Johnson's Class Water splashing in the pool Kayla jumping into the water Mom jumping into the water, Dad jumping, too And me, swimming in the water By: Annie Mrs. Loughran's class The ocean is beating the sandy shore. Meeting and controlling the tide, in and out. Finding a way to pull me in. And me, standing, watching, and waiting. The tide shifts, revealing the master of the ocean. Pounding, knocking, on my bare feet. The ocean is whispering to me, come and play. And me, doing what I was waiting for. By: Madison Mrs. Johnson's Class The Library Thief Hearing silence in the air Someone lying on the table Someone spying on the table And me, borrowing two books to get help. Someone looking all around Someone browsing for a book Someone snooping for a crook And me, dropping a book in the return slot. Seeing a crook, Turning him in and getting a new Ford. By: Issac Mrs. Cothran's Class Lightly splashing onto paper. Streaming across like a river. Looming over shadows, out doing themselves. And me, stroking them in an orderly fashion. Complaining about too much water. Eating away the paper like goats. Completing a fantasy artwork. And me, watching them work their magic. By: Sophia Animals A bird floating through the sky A tiger running pass a rock But wait it's stopping to rest And me, watching closely and quietly. By: Gabe Mrs. Cothran's Class Traffic Traffic slowing down my teacher She has to hurry so she can be teaching us at school She makes it then, but the bell doesn't ring And me, reading a book when she got there. By: Gabe Mrs. Cothran's Class Ocean A fish swimming across the water A whale breathing very loud A sea turtle running across the sea And me, snorkeling quietly trying not to make a sound. By: Gabriel Mrs. Cothran's Class The sun is beaming over the earth. A few clouds are racing across the sky. Rain is pattering on the ground. And me, taking it all in. A butterfly fluttering in moist air. The hawk diving toward the pond. Some ducks swimming in the snaky river. And me, taking pictures of everything. By: Connor Mrs. Johnson's Class Fans cheering for the Dodgers. A young boy striking out. Parents laughing out of pity. And me, angrily yelling at them. The ball rising off the hitters bat. Caleb running toward the ball. Elvin calling, "I got it." And me, catching the miscalled ball. Jim and Tim diving for the ball. Tim diving the wrong way. Jim knocking the ball up and throwing it. And me, catching the ball and getting the out. By: Jonathan Mrs. Johnson's Class Nature Birds chirping in their nest Bears snoring in their dens Wolves howling by the cliff And me, curled up sleeping. Parrots squawking by sunrise Tigers roaring while they hunt Snakes hissing as they slitter And me, listening as they make noise. Waves crashing as they hit the shore Dolphins splashing their tails against the ocean While the sunsets by the horizon And me, relaxing by the ocean shore. Lions hiding underneath the tall grass Giraffes munching on big green leaves Elephants tearing down huge trees And me, watching them while I am on a safari. By: Krish Mrs. Cothran's Class The splashing of the rain. Thunder booming over the sky. Lightning flashing before my eyes. And me, worrying for my life. People taking cover at home. Trees falling on houses. Power lines falling, causing black outs. And me, worrying for my live. By: Colin Mrs. Johnson's Class
The Class Kids walking around Listening to the teacher Talking about the farm And me, cleaning my desk. By: Julia Mrs. Cothran's Class	The Farm Birds chirping in trees When children are watching below Cows mooing for their lunch And me, looking at the howling dog. By: Julia Mrs. Cothran's Class
Cooking At home dinner is cooking My sister is setting the table My dad banging on drums And me, sitting at the table doing homework. By: Julia Mrs. Cothran's Class Dolphins diving in the deep sea. Whistling to their fellow friends. Swimming, splashing, and having a great time. And me, playing with all of them. Sharks chomping their way through the seaweed. Terrorizing all the innocent little fish. Tearing apart other animals' homes. And me, gasping in horror. By: Shaylee Mrs. Johnson's Class Music My first brother playing his guitar My second brother rocking out on his drums My sister singing along to her iPod And me, blasting my radio. My first brother's amp shutting down I hear my second brother dropping a drumstick The lights fading And me, my radio turning off. Me and my brothers yelling with joy The lights are coming back on My brothers start playing And me, listening to the radio. By: Tommy Mrs. Cothran's Class
My family is sleeping in the morning. The birds are chirping quietly. The neighbor is reading the mail. And me, eating my breakfast. I see police alarms blaring. I hear glass breaking apart. There are people knocking on the door. And me, just sitting there in fear. By Kent Mrs. Johnson's Class	Mom is cleaning the kitchen. The T.V. is blasting. Music is playing. And me, I am reading. Horns are honking. Sirens are sounding. People are shouting. And me, I am listening. By: Aaron Mrs. Johnson's Class
My brother is chopping down trees yelling 'fore'. Hens are clucking and the rooster is crowing. Our horse is trying to break down the gate. And me, getting chased by a flock of angry geese. Ducks are quacking their heads off. The sheep are mysteriously disappearing. Wolves are smuggling livestock off the field. And me, I just heard a roaring lion. By: Josh Mrs. Johnson's Class Grass standing up like men listening to a sergeant. A black snake slithers away terrified of me. I hear a frog croaking near the pond. And me, sitting and watching. By: Tyler Mrs. Johnson's Class Rain drops splashing on the sidewalk. Lightning flashes light across the sky. Thunder is rumbling constantly. And me, sitting on my stool as I watch. Aware of the lightning flashing. Shivering as the clouds cover the moon. The cold drops of rain make me start swaying. And me, in the middle of it all, watching. My bird is chirping as it flutters in panic. I start whistling a tune I memorized. She carefully starts fluttering back to her nest. And me, in the garage listening to the wind. By: Kay Mrs. Johnson's Class
Dogs Dogs barking loudly Dogs playing in the house Dogs being bad Dogs drinking water By: Carrington Mrs. Loughran's Class	Tiara Tiara barking at me Tiara kissing my lips Tiara shaking in the car Tiara playing with me By: Dakota Mrs. Loughran's Class
The boat is rocking. The fish is tugging. And me, I am now reeling him in. The drummer is drumming. The guitarist is strumming. And me, I am rocking out. By: Flint Mrs. Johnson's Class	Baseball Hitting baseballs hard Catching baseballs low Batting baseballs fast Throwing baseballs far By: Anthony Mrs. Loughran's Class
The wind whistling through the trees. The silent beat of butterfly's wings. My brother's quiet deepening breaths. And me, screaming and pleading for sound. The thunderous howling of a tornado. An earsplitting boom of a helicopter. A woman nervously screaming. And me, wishing I hadn't wished for sound. By: Ethan Mrs. Johnson's Class Bikes Bikes biking fast Feet pedaling fast Tricks jumping high Race track racing fast By: Gabriel Mrs. Loughran's Class In the Military Plane engines blasting smoke in the air Missiles turretting towards the sky Soldiers sprinting to safety And me, lying in bed. Bullets clanking against rocks Helmets flying off heads Soldiers patiently waiting to go home And me, lying in bed. Guns shooting at bases Enemies ambushing others Soldiers crawling on the ground And me, lying in bed. People killing loved ones Attackers slithering with guns in their hands Soldiers running for their lives And me, lying in bed. By: Izzy Mrs. Cothran's Class Eyes reading Quiet Noisy Poems. Smile crossing my face. Thinking how terrific the kids poems are. And me, wondering what I could write. Mind thinking. Fingers typing. Trying to follow the pattern. And me, realizing I CAN do one, too. Mrs. Gonzalez Principal Mrs. McCoy & Friends' School

Letter Poems

Dear Coral Snake,

Why does your venom have to be so deadly?
I love your dazzling reds and yellows. Although
I have to stay away, for your bite is so life threatening.
How one second we're just walking and the next we see
you and get scared out of our mind. As you come in
one of the top places for most venomous snakes. I'm
not going to mess with you.

Sincerely, Josh
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Mr. Fish,

You are grateful.
I like the way you swim.
How many scales do you have?

Yours truly,
Kayla
Mrs. Loughran's class

Dear Sugar,
You taste delicious, you can be put on any snack and still taste good.
You are so pure and so small.
I wonder why you look like salt.
Does it hurt to be digested?
I think the stomach acid is most painful.
Are sugar and salt cousins?
I've gobbled up salt thinking its sugar many times.
I hope you can answer back.
Sincerely,
Tommy
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Lily Dog,

I like your black and white fur.
You are my baby dog.

Carrington and Karston love you Lily Dog.
Yours Truly,
Carrington
Mrs. Loughran's Class

Dear Pine Tree

I love your fragrant smell deep in the forest. You grow
so tall as if you want to reach space. How do you act like
a magician and make carbon dioxide disappear and make
oxygen reappears? You have spiny dark green needles
sprouting from your long spindly branches. Your
pinecones spit out seeds like me spitting out watermelon
seeds. I am sorry that people cut you down and turn you
into paper we just throw away. Are you disappointed
because your numbers are dwindling?

Sincerely, Connor
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Alligator,

You alligators are good at finding your lunch.
Alligators are big and black with sharp teeth.
Are you alligators fast?

Yours truly,
Gary
Mrs. Loughran's class

Dear African Elephant,
I love your gray color.
It's an outstanding color.
The way you move your trunk back and forth,
side to side, and circular in motion is delightful.
You use your trunk to spray water.
You are just the most adorable creature on the planet earth.
When you walk, your stomps excite me, but frighten my brother.
He thinks you will crush him.
I tell him you won't you're just an animal.
Why are you so big?
I wish I knew, because I am like the smallest person ever.
If I knew how, I would make myself supersize like you.
You are as enormous as a giant.
Please write back as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Emily
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Monarch Butterfly,

I love the design on your wings. You are the most elegant
Insect I have ever seen. Is it hard to fly so perfectly?
Butterflies are my favorite insect. They drink nectar with a
straw like tube. Monarchs have a different shaped wing
than other butterflies. Butterflies are very gentle and can't
hurt anything. Monarchs are amazing animals.

Sincerely, Kayleem

Dear Cocker Spaniel,
I love how you are so adorable when you lick me like a bottle of water
drenching me as you lie on your back.
You are brown with the perfect placement of beige.
You look like a light-brown monster after you take a bath.
Have you ever wanted to pet the fluffy self you are?
I'd think you would.
You smell like a garden of daisies.
You are as pleasant as can be.
I cannot think of a more stupendous creature than you.
You are my favorite dog.
Yours truly,
Izzy
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Sun,

I know you give us vitamins and other healthy minerals to
our body. And I know you give us light. But why are you
so hot? I mean your blistering hot burns us and I don't
even admire the brightness of your burning color. But
still your greatness counters my other protagonist
thoughts. You are the creator and the destroyer of life.

Sincerely, Chris
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Siamese cat,

Your are cute and fluffy.
Your beautiful blue eyes are almost like the sky.
Why are your meows so loud?
You have black and brown fur.

Yours truly,
Callista

Dear Skunks,
I love your black and white stripes.
You stink, but you're cute.
Your stripes are beautiful.
Naturally, your aroma sets off enemies.
By the way, you are my favorite animal.
If you didn't stink would you be my pet skunk?
You are lovely.
If you were hungry you would eat insects, larvae,
earthworms, small rodents, lizards, rats, salamanders,
frogs, snakes, birds, moles, eggs, berries, roots, leaves,
grasses, fungi, and nuts.
You let all the stuff that moves go past you, then you go in the back of them
and gobble them up!
Yours truly,
Skye
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Gibbon Monkey,

I like the way you swing all day!
Your black fur is soft.

Elizabeth
Mrs. Loughran's class

Dear Red-necked Hummingbird,

I think you are so extremely helpful to the world. I love
how you flutter so amazingly graceful from flower to
flower, sipping sweet nectar with your long, jet-black beak.
You buzz loudly to each brightly colored daisy, sunflower,
and any other existing flower. Spreading bright yellow
pollen so we can smell their scent from the beautiful
blooms' petals. Humans should be more like you,
graceful, helpful, and elegant in more than the usual way.
How do you manage to be so perfect so easily? Thank you
for showing the world the true meaning of beauty.

Sincerely, Drew
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Cobra Snake,

I like the way you hiss!
Your long body moves smoothly.
Why do you hiss?

Yours truly,

Dear Ocean,
I love the way you sway back and forth creating a salty ocean breeze.
The blue color of you is gorgeous.
It is so captivating how you take up three quarters of the earth.
I can't even believe how deep you can get.
Does it hurt being polluted?
Being polluted sounds pretty painful.
I would dislike to have garbage waste thrown into me.
It sounds horrible.
Pollution sounds like it really damages you.
I wish people could find out how it feels to be polluted like you.
Please write back.
Sincerely,
Olivia
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Cherry Tree,

I see you all around me. Tall like a one story building.
Your leaves fight in the wind. You are green in the spring
and summer. Red, yellow, and orange in the fall. But
no leaves in the winter. I love your sweet cherries. Upon
your long thick branches. But I always wonder. How are
your sweet cherries made?

Sincerely, Gage
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Sun,
I love how you shine so bright.
You are so yellow.
You come out and shine bright like a light bulb.
Even if you are stupendously big you look very tiny.
There is no doubt that you are very bright.
For example, you have enough light to light up all of earth.
You also give off heat to the universe.
However, you don't even eat or drink.
How do you shine bright and give off heat,
I wonder?
There are so many unanswered questions about you.
I think we should learn more about you.
Yours truly,
Julia
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Shadow,

I thank you for the cool bodies you cast to hide in the
summer afternoons. Your cool black body gives us our
proof of our sun and our existence. Where did you come
from? Are you blessed with eternal life? How were you
formed? Or is this life a blissful imagination? You may have
my word that you are a wonderful thing. Your black body
provides us with protection from the heat of the sun. Are
you and the sun in an everlasting battle?

Sincerely, Jonathan
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Bamboo,
I like it when you loom over me in the cool breeze,
tall, green, and your wonderful leaves.
But why do people write on your skin?
Plunging into your skin,
Writing "I heart Mike" or "Punk."
Can you stop this madness?
Yours truly,
Ethan
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Grizzly Bear,

Do you know how helpful you are and what you do? You
help keep rodents from over populating. You are hardcore
when it comes to fishing. You can withstand extreme cold
like -20 degrees. I also love your warm fuzzy fur. People
should stop hunting you, It's not your fault you eat meat.

Sincerely, Aaron
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Bullet the Dog,

I love you and I miss you.
Do you miss me?
I liked your brown fur.

I want you back.
Yours Truly,

Mrs. Loughran's Class

Dear Horses,

I love the way you run in the fields. Your shiny coat glistens in the afternoon sun.
In races, you can be the mightiest there. When I ride you I feel like I'm flying.
Your beauty is what always wins first place.
You are so beautiful when you graze in the long green grass.
Do you like being you?

Sincerely, Shaylee
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Puppy,

You are adorable and pretty.
Can I have you?
I like the way that you look at me when I hold you.
You love me and I love you.
Yours Truly,
Dakota
Mrs. Loughran's Class

Dear Bunny,

Your fur is as soft as a field of cotton. You hop with great
enthusiasm and happiness. I hear you thump and crunch
carrots in your teeth. In the day time you close your eyes
and flop. The way your ears flop in the wind makes me
laugh. Why can't you talk to us and tell us your emotions?

I could speak and you would understand. Your cotton fluff
tail tickles my hands. As you graze in the grass I think of
my questions. Your beautifully colored eyes encourage my
enthusiasm. When I lie down you lie down with me.
You're as affectionate as a girl on Valentine's Day. Many
people ignore how intelligent you are. Why don't you
extend your voice and be heard?

Sincerely, Kay
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Rain,
I love the way you make my plants grow.
When you fall from that stupendous height, is it fun?
Sometimes when you form an enormous puddle, you can make a flood.
You're as clear as you can be.
Sometimes I don't even know you are there.
Sincerely,
Garrett
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Wolves,

I am thankful that you howl at night to tell us when there's
a full moon. Did you know that some people use your
guidance to tell them when a full moon is? Without you
sailors would not know how long they have been
traveling. When they hear you they know land is near.

Sincerely, Colin
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Bunny,

You are soft.
Can I play with you?
You are so kind.
Yours Truly,
Gabriel
Mrs. Loughran's Class

Dear Diamond,

I love the way you sparkle and shine in the bright sunlight.
You have many different colors like blue, green, red and
purple. You're as clear as the blue sky. Are you really
work what you say you are? Or are you just tricking us?
You are smooth on your base and sharp on your edges.
You are very hard, hard enough to scratch glass. Your
streak is bright white.

Sincerely, Sara
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Praying Mantis,
I like how spiritual you are.
Do you like being so itsy-bitsy?
Does the world look ravishing that way?
You look marvelous with those epic legs and long antennas.
Although I'll be the first to admit those mandibles are
cunning as a fox, as large as China, and the best I've seen yet.
Also, those eyes search like a bloodhound.
P.S. Please write back.
If the pencil crushes you, it is not my fault.
Yours truly,
Isaac
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Black Bears,
Would it kill you to not dig in my trash for one night? I
love your black fur. Your growl sounds like a truck horn.

Sincerely, Lathan
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Rose,
I feel delightful when you come out in the spring.
You are as red as a pepper.
Does your color mean love?
Your petals are gentle,
but your stem is spiky and painful!
Yours truly,
Taylor
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Platypus,

I think that you are the coolest animal ever. At first I
thought that you were a cool blooded animal but now I
know that you are the only egg laying mammal. I always
wonder do you ever hurt people with your sharp venomous
claws? I really wish that you lived in Florida and if you do
Wooo-hooo! Did you know that you are a mix of a duck,
beaver, and otter?

Sincerely, Tyler
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Macaw,
I love your beautiful colors,
And your massive beak looks awesome.
When I pet you your back, it feels smooth.
Have you ever experienced oil on your wings?
I heard that you can't fly when you have oil on your wings.
Your beak hurts when you bite someone.
Sometimes you can get annoying from the sound you make.
Sincerely,
Krish
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Sun,

You're so bright and beautiful with your shinning,
shimmering light. You're like a light bulb, only you soar
so high you're in space. Sometimes I wonder, maybe you
could marry a moon and have children. In winter you
could come out some more. But in summer can you tone
it down about 30 notches? You let the animals roam. Did
you know you're the #1 source of energy on Earth? I love
your bright color, especially at sunset and sunrise. Why
don't you come out at night?

Sincerely, Tracy
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Scissors,
Your sharp blades are terrific.
They can cut paper for us.
Why are your blades so sharp?
Is it because you need them that sharp?
Your handles are epic.
They come in different sizes.
Your handles can be for grownups or little kids.
Sincerely,
Gabriel
Mrs. Cothran's Class

Dear Rocks,

You are precious with your metallic, dull, and shiny color.
How do you become like this? It hurts when I fall on you,
because your rock solid. Your used in many things I use
every day. My good luck charms and much more. You are
valuable, emerald, rubies, and sapphires. Write back soon.

Sincerely, Madison
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Cats,

You are the one creature that humans can rely on for
comfort. Did you know that people think you are so
boring? Not with me you're not. I think people should get
to know you better, you can do tricks just like dogs. You
just need patience, practice, and treats. I met one of you
last week and I named it Fluffball. Anyway you guys rock!
Awesomely yours, Fia
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Trees,

I thank you for the oxygen you easily provide us. Do we
make you mad when we cut you down? You know I feel
remorse, and try to extend my hand. But some of us do
not. For you give us everything that kids like, consider
fall fun like jumping into a cool crisp pile of leaves or
climbing your brown branches.
Sincerely, Ethan
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Apple Tree,

I love how you sway in the wind. You swish and turn and
go around. I also love the sweet apples that fall from your
branches. The red shiny apples that escape your clutches.
Answer this one question for me. Does it hurt when your
apples fall off? That is my question.
Sincerely, Kent
Mrs. Johnson's Class

Dear Manatees,

I think you are such adorable creatures when you swim
so gently and gracefully through the water.
Did you know how helpful you are to us?
You eat the green plants that can clog our rivers.
Those green plants can also get tangled up in boat propellers,
causing boaters a lot of trouble.
You never attack or bully anyone.
In fact, you are always quiet, calm and gentle.
I think humans ought to act more like manatees.
We should be kinder and gentler to everyone around us.
Thank you for teaching us this important lesson.

Yours Truly,
Mrs. McCoy

Dear Pollen,

I am so thankful that you are the reason
more plants and trees can grow all around us.
Your bright yellow color lays all over my red car
and makes it look orange.
But do you know what it means when you appear?
It means I spend weeks with a pocket jammed full
of Kleenex because my nose is running continuously.
It means that I spend weeks with watery eyes
and a bright red nose from sneezing
over and over and over again.
It makes me look like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!
I really, really, REALLY wish that your lovely yellow color
didn't cause my allergies to go crazy!

Sincerely,
Mrs. McCoy

... Is Coming Poems

King Arthur is coming.

You can hear his blade clanging against others,
You can see him rolling under a blade.
King Arthur is coming.

You can see Excalibur gleaming in the sunlight.
You can hear his cry as he charges into battle.
King Arthur is coming.

You can hear his armor clanking as he jousts.
And feel honored to be in the front seats.

You can see him get knocked off his horse.
And feel puzzled at why he didn't win.
King Arthur is coming.

And if you follow him he will lead you to Sir Paellas,
You can see him clash with Paellas.
Jousting.
Sword Fighting.
Eating.
King Arthur is coming.

And feel happy.

And feel good to be together.

And if you follow Tiara,
You can see family.
Swimming,
Playing,
Holding,

A dolphin is coming.

You can hear its tail speedily slapping against the water,
You can see it gliding gracefully in the salty sea.
A dolphin is coming.

You can see it hurdling through a school of fish.
You can hear it using echolocation to find its way.
A dolphin is coming.

You can hear it jumping out of a breaking wave,
And feel excitement course through your veins.
You can see its many sharp teeth as it chops down on a silvery fish.
And feel pity for that unlucky fish. A dolphin is coming.

And if you follow that marvelous dolphin,
you can see many amazing and wonderful things.
Sleek smooth skin.
Tiny rugged teeth.
Dorsal fins popping above the water.
A dolphin is coming.

A shark is coming
You can hear swishing of fins under water
You can see a gigantic fin

A shark is coming
You can see huge waves made where the shark is
You can hear some sort of banging sounds

A shark is coming
You can hear scraping sounds on the boat
And feel rough vibrations on the bottom of the boat

You can see a huge head
And feel pain in the chest

A shark is coming
And if you follow the shark
You can see yourself being eaten by a huge great white
Black eyes, nearly nine foot long
Blade share teeth
Gray white skin, and a great white shark
A shark is coming

You can see leaves blowing all over creation.

And feel the icy wind against your face.

And feel the wind rushing past you as you race to your friends.

And if you follow the sound of laughing and crunching,
You can see friends jumping in, raking and bagging bunches of leaves.
Fall is coming blowing,
freezing,
and changing nature.

A paper airplane is coming.

You can hear the air whistling near your ear,
You can see a quick piece of paper nearly miss someone.
A paper airplane is coming.

You can see a nervous mammal cringing.
You can hear the person eyed when they say that it's in their eye.

And feel it crash into your skin.
You can see it being folded and modified,
And feel your hands push the paper into its folds.
A paper airplane is coming.

And if you follow the paper airplane,
You can see an annoyed adult yelling.
Chasing
Dodging
Grabbing

You can hear me screaming on the top of my lungs
You can see my mom trying to calm me down

You can see the pink frosted cake in the oven
You can hear my brother getting mad at me

And feel the nicely wrapped presents

You can see me shaking the Piñata
And feel the ruffle of the covering

You can see them wrapping the last of my gifts
I am happy, excited, and can't wait until June 25 of two thousand eleven
I'll be nine
My birthday is coming

And feel creeping hot fear as the snowball draws nearer to your face.

Curving toward your head,
Creeping fear as the snowball draws nearer to your face.

Wet and very bumpy
Teeth like blades
Green as a green apple
