How Sweet it is! My Dogs I have two dogs in my house, And I love them way more than a mouse. One of them is a Sheltie, And his name is Joey. He’s very hairy, And is a beauty. He is playful and fun There’s nothing about him that you can ruin. Then there’s another. A weiner dog like no other. They try to destroy each other. It makes me say “Oh brother.” His name is Peanut, And he growls at men and sometimes me. All he likes to be is free. Audrey Graytok Grade 5, East Canton Elementary

Football Football is my favorite sport. You play on a field not a court. Football is the best type of sport. Football is a sport of sort. Drew Myers Grade 5, East Canton Elementary
Kittens & Mittens There once was a little kitten, He had very nice mittens. He played all through the dey, He couldn’t wait till tomorrow to play. Angela Bailey Grade 5, East Canton Elementary
Spring Spring has Sprung. People smell daisy and roses. Rabbits ear a lot of carrots. I take pictures of Spring’s Views. New tadpoles swim in ponds. Gnats surround people in the Spring. Samuel Jeter Grade 5, Gibbs Elementary
Summer I love summer It will not be a bummer It is filled with joy You can hang out with girls and boys You can go out and swim With stuff that has fins You can go play Frisbee Just don’t get dizzie You can play with the dog Just don’t trip on a log I love summer It will not be a bummer Sara Miller Grade 5, East Canton Elementary

Midnight path Sugar is sweet lemons are sour. Snow is white That shines out thru the night. The midnight path as dark as shadows as the midnight horse runs. Down the hill with Will. Down through the river of black and the stream of gold. To the land of Unicorns when the yellow sun shines and the green grass grows. The End!!!!!! Nicole Minor
Rose are red violets Are blue this poem Probably stinks but it’s Better than you, You heed To take a shower at Least every hour Because you smell like Baby powder. When you Walk on the dock Wearing your gym socks The fish jump up and Say “P—U.” That’s all I Have to say I think I”ll be on my way. Colt Hemphill

Color Me Yellow Cold, sweet, banana posicle Makes my mouth icy cold Dandelions. Stubborn! Grow where they want Sunbeams make the sky bright and cheerful Yellow chalk smoothly writing on the board French fries make my mouth water by Amelia Verbus Grade 5, St. Peter’s
