We are a Tree
We are a tree
Planted in our new beginning
Growing tall and strong together
Sucking knowledge from our teachers
Balancing on our firm new roots
Growing
Strong willed trunk
Individual, independent branches
Reaching out and up for knowledge
The fruit of our minds ripening
Sharing our shade with a sun burned passerby
Many wonderful leaves
We are a tree
by the group on 9/8/2005

I am…


I am a tree
tall and strong.
I whip in the wind
Bending but I am rooted in my way.
I change and move on and come back
reach to the sky
the sun
I am a home for little creatures
new ideas
I am colorful at times
I blend in with other giving you shade
Sometimes I stand alone
Sometimes I am a part of a bigger picture
a forest


I am a storm
raging and whaling
I rain down
crash
I light up your world
I cause damage
tear and rip
I shake and shatter
rebuild and renurture
frighten and fight
l am fragile
l calm move on
and dry of


l am a river
flowing and rushing
l oohs over sharp rocks and great depths
l shape canyons and fill valleys
overflow and retreat
almost to disappearance
I thunder by
crashing and splashing
I babble
whining and weaving
uncontrollable
uninhabitable
Uninfluencable

Birds Poem
By: Patrick Vecera

In this frigid, frozen corner of the world
Birds are freezing
Shivering, fluffing their feathers.
Billowy bouncing balls
Flying through the blinding bright sky
Bumping into each other
Looking for food.
Find it in my front yard.

 

Winter Poem
By: Clare Lanaghan

 

It is bitter bright
The sun bounces on the snow
Blinding the world.

Air, fresh and clean
As warm fog it floats from frozen throats.

The ever cold gnaws on the noise
quieting the world,
padding the earth’s ears.
Winter moves everything
Slower and slower
more and more quiet.


Ethan’s Haunted Winter Poem
By: Ethan Kline

I feel the ghostly hands of winter chill,
goose bumps on my skin.
The wind moans with the voices of cold dead
howling for their revenge.
I smell the skeleton wind that runs through cemeteries
Swirling and twirling
Dancing to death.
I taste the icy, freezing phalanges
as the wind bites.
I see the dark falling to winter’s last stand.


 

Frozen F alls
By Kyler Paterson

Winter waterfalls
Look like giant jewels
Hanging from the sky
Glittering rainbows
Bouncing around
Like fireflies
The sudden sound of ice cracking
Like diamond dynamite exploding
In the fearful, frozen ice.

HOW WINTER RULES
by Tiarnan Fox

WINTER   RETRNS
ANIMALS   HIDE   FROM   SOFT, SIVER   SNOWFLAKES.
TREES BLINDED
BY THE WONDERFUL WHITE WINTER
WAIT FOR THEIR LANKY LION LEAVES.
. FIERCE FIRE
THE NIGHT GUARD
KEEPS THE HOUSE WARM AND SAFE.

 

Winter World
By Megan Kann

I smell clean cracking ice.
I feel the frigid filangies of the winter wind
pick at my comfy clothes.
All I see is burning bright, paper white.
I sink into the shoveled snow
as the north wind comes.
We go as the breeze.
I dance away to fire warm houses.
