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
