One Little Kitten

Sean- One little kitten

Two big cats
Three baby butterflies
Four big rats
Five fat fishes
Six sad seals

Kylie- Seven silly seagulls

Eight happy eels;
Nine nervous lizards
Ten brave bees
Eleven smelly elephants

Nino- Twelve fat fleas

Thirteen alligators
Fourteen whales
Fifteen donkeys with fifteen tails.
 “Trees”
By Joyce Kilmer

Danielle- I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is press
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day

And lifts its leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair

Enzo- Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
 A Smile

Kyrie Alphonse Danan –A smile is quite a funny thing,

It wrinkles up your face

And when it’s gone

You’ll never find
Its secret hiding place

MJ Javin Madridano - But far more wonderful it is

To see what smiles can do,

You smile at one

He smiles at you,
And so one smile
It makes two.
 Bird Talk

Caleb- 'Think... said the robin,

'Think... said the jay,
sitting in the garden
talking one day.

Denver- 'Think about people

the way they grow:
they don't have feathers
at all, you know.

Ian- They don't eat beetles,

they don't grow wings,
they don't like sitting
on wires and things!

Montecristo- 'Think!' said the robin.

'Think!' said the jay.
'Aren't people funny
to be that way?
 “Butterfly Smiles"

Alonzo- Butterflies flutter.

Butterflies fly.
They put a sparkle
In your eye.

Zach-Watch a butterfly,
And in a short while
It will give you
A butterfly smile!

-Bruce Larkin

Little by Little
 Chloe- “Little by little”, an acorn said,
As it slowly sank in its mossy bed,
“I am improving every day,
Hidden deep in the earth away.”

Cassy- Little by little, each day it grew;

Little by little, it sipped the dew;
Downward it sent out thread-like roots;
Up in the air spring a tiny shoot.

Aiah- Day after day, and year after year,

Little by little the leaves appear;
And the slender branches spread far and wide,
Till the mighty oak is the forest’s pride.
 I Am a Bird

Megan Denise Diaz - I am a bird

Flying in the sky
To taste the life of freedom.

Don't hunt me.

I will sing a sweet song
At every dawn to make you happy.

Sam Viloria - In very hot summer days

I will meet the clouds
For the showers of rain.

Don't imprison us.

Do you know the agony of a prisoner?
Be kind to make the world happy.
