The rooster cockadoodle doos.
Horses snoring loud.
Birds tweeping loudly.
And I'm on my porch in my chair rocking.
By: Cash
Waking up in the morning.
Seeing rain dripping down my window.
Walking at the park on a peaceful Saturday.
And me, having a quiet day.
Slamming a door when you are upset.
Kids playing noisily.
Books falling off the shelf onto the floor
and papers falling on top of each other.
And me, picking all the papers up.
By: Jose~
Birds tweeting outside so loud.
My sister annoying me while I am trying to do my homework.
Helping my mom turn off the alarm.
Me, watching TV. very loudly while smacking my mouth.
By: Sara Beth
Hearing the wind blow.
The trees.
The leaves shaking in the wind.
And me, standing there.
The kids slamming doors.
Cars honking at each other.
Dogs barking.
And me, in the middle of it.
Birds chirping on the trees.
Rain dripping off of the roofs.
And me, sitting on my couch, listening.
Phones ringing.
Kids screaming.
Dogs barking.
And me, sitting in my car reading.
By: Ella
I wake up at 4:00 a.m., quiet relaxing.
Rainy, drip drop, drip drop.
Birds asleep, peaceful relaxing.
I lay on my bed dreaming.
We're driving in the car, sleepy music.
Happy music, happy.
Peace and quiet.
There I lay, asleep in the back seat.
By: Eliot
A train chugging the 1800's over a bridge.
Birds tweeting, wood peckers knocking.
Dogs barking out loud.
And me, laying on the bed listening.
By: Lily Grace
Rain on the roof.
Dogs barking outside.
Whining to come inside.
And me, sleeping in my giant bed.
Birds cheeping outside in their nest.
Honking from cars in the neighborhood.
Phones ringing in the house.
Stomping from upstairs and doors slamming.
By: Whit
People sing for meditation.
Birds cherping to get inside.
Rain drizzling on the roof.
And me, sitting on the couch watching.
Air planes roaring across the sky.
Dogs barking about the weather.
Doors shutting, slam slam slam!
And me, I'm in the car, laughing.
By: Noor
The birds chirping outside wakes me up in the morning.
The rain at night helps me go to sleep.
Whispering helps me stay awake.
I stroke with a paint brush squish squash.
By: Sydney
Children screaming at school.
Turning on the road, a car.
Poader racing on the race track
And me, I'm screaming for the number 1 car to win.
My brother screams.
In the back seat.
My mom as quiet as a mouse.
And me, I am as quiet as a mouse too.
By: Ethan
Babies crying because they want food.
Kids yelling in their classroom.
Teachers talking to the children.
I am sitting, yelling STOP, because the children are driving me nuts!.

Birds tweeting on the trees.
A door softly shutting.
People sleeping in a hotel.
And me, humming in bed.
Airplanes roaring.
Dogs barking outside.
Cars honking really loud.
And me, singing a lot.
By:Matt
Kids giggling.
Creek flowing softly by.
Vast ponds rippling.
And me, just sleeping.
Firecrackers exploding.
Doors slamming.
Airplanes roaring.
And me, shooting my air soft.
By: Barrett
Birds gliding super quick.
Snakes slithering very quietly.
Smores running fast as lightening.
And me with my air soft.
By: Austin
Bonking people around.
Knocking people down like boom boom boom.
Whit answering questions.
And talking, talk talk talk.
By: Beckham
Shots from my air soft.
Smores drinking.
The scream of my sister when skittles jumps on her face.
And me, shattering a bottle.
By:Patrick
Everybody talking!
Quiet music playing on the Promethean board.
People sharpening pencils!
And me, writing a story.
By:Evan
Girls fussing in the back seat.
Traffic whirring, honking by.
Taylor Swift blaring on the I pod.
And me, singing off key.
Tick tock, Tick tock, goes the clock.
Buzz Buzz, goes the phone.
Drip drop, drip drop, the coffee descends into the cup.
And me, trying to wake up!
