I SPY Poetry Spring
Spring is my favorite season, When the world turns from white to green; It's as if a lady does it, And the work is done unseen. The lady fair coaxes the flowers, Up, up! from the dark, earthy ground; And in a soft whisper of yellow, Unfurls a bright lovely crown. The crocuses, purple or yellow, Are blooming in fairest array; The killdeer nests on pebbles, Protective in every way. The apple tree blushes in pinkness, The maples are budding in reds; The buttercups open in splendor Lifting up their bright heads. The birds sing praise in the treetops, To honor our kind, loving LORD, Creator of everything living, Proclaimed by his Holy Word. The birdies hatch in the springtime, Leaving eggshells scattered 'round, Cardinals, sparrows, and bluebirds, Making a joyful sound. God's love breathes into this season, Life, warmth, and color and cheer, We see His touch in the beauty, In my favorite time of the year. Kaitlynn J. Yoder 5ht grade, Home School

Dolphin Poem In this cave that's dark I think I hear a shark He is getting near He's my greatest fear As you can tell I am not very brave Here is the story of how I got in the cave I took a wrong turn So now I must learn Hooray I just escaped Before it was too late That was more scary Than seaweed that's hairy I need to get home My family might feel alone My family that loves me so That, I will always know Fiona McCoury 4th grade, Lake Cable Elementary Poodles and Noodles All poodles fell for noodles But for one poodle didn’t fell for noodles like the others she fell for tootles.
