The River
The river from a tiny spring the river came and wound its way for days and days first east then west but always south always down even when it curled itself around a bend but then one day something changed and a river it could no longer be FOR THE RIVER GREW AND THE RIVER KNEW THAT NOW IT WAS THE SEA (repeat THE SEA 30 times)

Assembly Song: Poetry in motion

When I see rhythm What do I see Poetry Poetry in motion Poetry in motion Walking side by side Spoken with expression Keeps my eyes open wide Poetry in motion See rhymes gently sway A wave out on the ocean Could never move that way I love every movement Theres nothing I would change Words doesnt need improvement Its much too good to rearrange

Cont. Poetry in motion Dancing close to me Spoken with expression Swaying gracefully

Words, Words..
Poetry in motion See rhymes gently sway A wave out on the ocean Could never move that way I love every movement Theres nothing I would change Words doesnt need improvement Its much too good to rearrange Poetry in motion All that I adore No other kind of potion Could make us love it more.

Words, Words..
