SKATEBOARD
The rough surface grips my shoes
The once smooth wood on the bottom is now scratched
Wheels crash on the street
I ride through the fresh air and take a deep breathe in
My legs bend as I try to get off the ground
I fly through the air then find my self rolling again
–Ian Vanderlinden
FREE AGAIN
Being home is so boring
Need to go to school with my friends
This quarantine is holding me in
So say it with me if you feel the same
Boring, but it will end
Soon we will be free again we just have to wait
–Astrid Vicente
BREEZE
The chill wind whipping
Pushing up against my jacket in a swirl of freshness
The scent of fall leaves lingering in the air
The bite of the cold
Mixing with the relief from the hot humid sun
The taste of honeysuckle left as it passes
The roar in my ears
As it blows in my direction in anger just for a second
Subsiding to the calm before it came
–Britney Wagner
I LIKE HOCKEY
I can’t wait to feel the ice under my blades
The crisp air as I speed around
The feel of the crunch of the ice as I make a sharp turn
Feeling the vibration of my stick when I take a slap shot
Sight of the puck going in the net.
–Riley Walchli
Staining hands of orange
The tasty Doritos fills my mouth
with it crumbling in my mouth
with its bitter taste it yummy in my mouth.
Doritos in it red bag it is super yummy in my tummy.
–Isaac Walker
Hot Chocolate the iconic hot drink of the winter
Feel warm like the furnace
Enjoy the look of cocoa power with water
Smell the creamy sweet milk chocolate
Tastes rich like a flower, feeling that chocolate bar in a drink taste or you can make it more rich and add milk to it
Now you won’t feel frozen like an ice cube in the winter
–Justin Walton
Bright sun on the beach,
The sand on the bottom of you feet,
The breeze on your face,
The waves crashing down
The water on your face
–Jayce Ware
PAPER
Bright white and silky smooth,
Paper crumples and shifts as the pen moves
Making the swirls of another life –
The corners turn yellow as the years move on
One day to be forgotten,
A life more than mine.
–Hannah White
I flew through the sky and over the mountains that went through the clouds. My wings were as straight as paper not a single wrinkle. I saw a meadow and landed in the middle of it and sat down. I folded my wings and laid down and stared up into the sky. I saw clouds moving and shaping into shapes like a dragon, cat, circle, and mouse. I smiled at each one i found.

MAYDA ELIZABETH MARSH
Her skin was as a summer lily sprinkled with seeds
Her hair was golden as sun rays and soft as spring moss
Her eyes sparkled as the touch of ice
Her touch was as of a ghost’s cold and of death
There she stood looking over Pemberley, birds singing their
song around her.
–Summer Willis
A GIRAFFE
Brown spotted blotches on rough yellow fur,
Shooting above all trees with it’s elevator like neck.
Quiet, light sounds of shuffling hooves,
Awaken the deep green leaves rustling in the wind.
The strong scents lurking through the air,
Smells quite delightful to the long necked creature.
The sun blazing high in the sky,
Far too hot for any humans like.
Magnificent creatures roaming freely deep in the wilderness of Africa.
–Grace Wilson
bob is the thing I am doing
shiny glowing
angry grunts with fists of sharp claws
painful diamond blue sword
kills you fast with no attack recorded
the energy used to kill me is astronomical
–Skyler Wood
Beach aroma and breezy winds
Sand between your toes
the warmth of the sun against your skin
Walks across the sandy beach
Swimming in the cool waves
