    Dancing is like frogs jumping rope
    Dancing is like wind through time
    Expanding in the matter of mine
    Movements which pave the way
    lighteningbolts moving
    Sparking attention my way

    Snow is like a feather
    they may look the same but as you
    look closer
    they spark with
    there indivuality.

    Snow is like a freshly painted wall
    yes it looks weight but when
    reveled to the sun the true crystals shin out.

    Snow is like lace
    beautiful in its own way
    but deep inside it holds
    memories some popping out but
    some conservative and shy.

    Snow is like a feeling
    it can melt in
    Pressure it has the power to heal and
    to hurt but snow douse have one very
    great power making people happy.

    Art
    By Rachel

    Art is a veil
    covering up what someone truly means,
    lying, and hiding the truth from someone.

    Art is a waves
    riding the soft sand as they roll up the beach,
    flowing causally as each stroke might be the last,
    spraying water is dabbing brush strokes as gentle as the water.

    Art is time,
    the time to greatness, it will tick by as something or nothing will get done,
    choose to get something done and greatness will come.

    Art is a balloon,
    as each breath goes in the balloon gets bigger and better,
    same with art, it gets better when you put effort into it.

    Football

    Football is practice
    Engaging your enemy
    Trying harder and harder each day
    Practice doesn’t always make perfect
    you got to try hard for what you love

    Football is triumph
    It’s winning not losing
    It’s that good felling in your heart that you
    know you contributed to your team
    and helped them get a victory

    Football is battle
    Struggling with your opponent
    It’s being able to look your enemy in the eyes and
    show no fear and have no fear doesn’t matter if he is
    big or small if you try you can defeat him

    Football is patience
    You need to wait for the perfect
    time to strike when you walk on to that field and your
    not on it for the first play you need to have patience
    the more patients you have you won’t sit on the bench
    as long it’s all about patience

    Alexis Hope
    By: Halen

    Alexis is a GPS
    Demanding you and telling you what to do
    And when to do it

    Alexis is a princess
    Spoiled as can be wearing
    A flowy gown with her pink sparkly tiara

    Alexis is a tornado
    Messing up everything in her path,
    Destroying everything she can
    Get her hands on but
    Not helping to clean up the mess

    Alexis is a kitty cat
    Getting everything she ever wanted and prancing around
    Like she owns the whole
    World and everyone LOVES her.

    A Friend
    By: Abbie

    A Friend is like the Sun
    Always bright and happy
    Always keeping you warm inside
    Know you have someone or something to trust they’ll be there for you

    A Friend is New York
    Lit all the time with glow from the lights of time square
    Flowing with joy and excitement

    A Friend is the Universe
    Showing countless creations of the Universe from big to small from black to white
    But they’re still all beautiful no matter what shape or size they are
    Never knowing what tomorrow will hold on this journey
    Sometimes it’s hard to find your way through the bright and dark times

    A Friend is a Dog
    They can get angry at you by showing their teeth
    But you know they’ll forgive you by trying to love you and play
    They love to have fun and play all the time

    Life
    By Willow Napolitano
    Life is a door
    Opening an opportunity to a new journey
    When your journey ends the door shuts…
    And a new generation begins

    Life is a butterfly
    It gets in its cocoon and then it bursts in to it true self
    And flies away like a delicate antique with all the
    thing you will see in live nature is the most beautiful

    Life is a flower
    It grows up and waits to get gathered with all
    the memorable things you have done in your lifetime
    the beautiful aroma as the wonderful things in life

    Life is a paper clip
    Holding all things special to you
    It’s like your memory helping you remember the thing in life

    Books are memories with words of wisdom, they tell
    stories that are true or false and have dreams about traveling

    Books are poeple with their thoughts, their pasts and future,
    they tell stories that are sad and happy

    Books are poetry, when you pick up a book you are tingling
    insideof you, that means you really want to read it

    Books are music singing inside of you,
    they sing culture, they sing myths and legends
