The Earth

The Earth’s heart is as big as itself
And the Earth is the universe’s heart
The Earth always cares about the creatures who live here
The Earth is our home, and we will never leave it.

Spring has Sprung

Spring has sprung with joy and laughter
Spring has sprung with new born animals, like cats, ponies and chicks
Spring has sprung with rainbows of all colors
Spring has sprung with flowers, like roses, daisies and hyacinth
Spring has sprung with no blue days or sad nights
Spring has sprung with peace on Earth, everywhere
Spring has sprung in every way, so go outside…

Enjoy the day!

May is the Day!

May is the day that birds look below
May is the day that seeds start to grow
May is the day baby birds start to fly
May is the day, you want to follow them…high!
May is the day Cinco de Mayo celebrates
May is the day when there are not hates
May is the day everything tastes good
May is the day that you remember…
Life is Good!

Nature’s Circle

Bees dream about pollen
Pollen remembers flowers
Flowers move with the wind
The wind is the promise of swishing leaves
The swishing leaves vacation in the winter
Winter is the sign of rest…
Resting is not for bees!

Justin L. 3Br

The Mission

I have a request, young adventurer…
To rid all hatred on Earth, and to let the people know
How to live in peace and harmony
They can all see the meaning of love, and they can also
Learn to care for each other
Then, they will know their true meaning
Go, child, and you will be
The most magnificent person ever!
You will be the instrument of peace.

Kindness

Kindness is the color of yellow flowers being given
Kindness wishes for everyone to be friends, no matter what
Kindness knows that not everyone is always nice
Kindness moves like people running in the summertime
Kindness wears a very happy shirt and sings
Kindness shows us that every one person can be friends
Kindness has a pocket filled with nice notes

Ethan V. 3Br

Happiness

Happy is the color of yellow peeps peeking out of my Easter basket
Happy wishes for parties for all of his friends
Happy knows all about making people laugh
Happy moves just like a dancer
Happy wears excellent, colorful clothes
Happy shows us about basketball hoops and baseball gear
Happy has a pocket of candy for everyone

Feel Your Heart

I have a heart, and I make dreams happen
Everyone else does, too!
Someone will come from the heavens and touch your heart and find your soul
I hope that people will get along with each other and hold hands
The Earth is a better place to be.
The Earth is where I live.
The Earth has a story.
The Earth has a promise that will never end.

Holden O. 3Br

Limerick

I’m not a very good poet
If you read it, my writing will show it.
My mind is blank, like it walked off a plank…
I’m not very good, and you know it.

Avery D. 3Br

A Message

The Earth has a message, a message that everyone desires!
That everyone needs.
A message that can change nightmares into dreams
And cruelty into fairness.
The message that you seek is…
Kindness.

Trent H. 3Br

The Earth’s Promise

The Earth has a promise, a promise that I will say.
The Earth has a heart.
The Earth promises that it will keep on spreading until
It reaches the end.
A promise that will make a difference to the Earth itself
And to us all.

Maisie S. 3Br

Many Features

The Earth has a heart that loves all things
It loves the blue sky above and the green grass below
It loves the families inside and outside
It loves the sun during the day and the moon at night
But most of all, the Earth’s heart loves the kind children
Who run freely.

Samantha N. 3Br

Forever

I have a hope that one day all the people of the world will have no wars, but only peace.
I have a dream that everyone, big and small, will come together and hold hands and become the family of Earth.
I have a story that one day, there will be a storm
And everyone will come outside and play, sing, plant…
And most of all hope!
Hope for a good life. Hope for freedom.
Hope for the Earth to live on and on…Forever.

Trees

Trees dream about flying and not being cut down
Trees remember their friends that were dug up and used for fuel
Trees move like the people in Hawaii
Trees are the promise of the air they give to us
Trees vacations are relaxing and peaceful
Trees are the sign of peace and hope in the air

Mickey C. Br

Sky!

Sky dreams about being down on the Earth
Sky remembers when it turned blue
Sky moves like a slow swan in the lake
Sky promises to shine bright all of the time
Sky vacations all the time, going around, everywhere
Sky is the sign of fun, always in the air.

Ethan D. 3Br

Leaves

Leaves dream about touching the rocks when they fall to the Earth
Leaves remember blooming on the trees
Leaves move like wind dancers
Leaves are the promise of changing colors—like chameleons
Leaves vacation every time they fall off the trees
Leaves are the sign of fall…coming

Gian Thomas Z. 3Br

The Sun

The sun dreams about the stone cold moon every day
The sun remembers cool spring showers
The sun moves with the gently swaying trees
The sun is the promise of warmth to us all
The sun vacations on the equator, every year
They sun is a sign of all spring birds approaching

Sofia A. 3E

I am a Chick

I am a chick
I wonder where my mom went
I hear a fox sneaking by
I see a cave to hide in
I want my mom
I am terrified

I pretend I have my mom
I feel someone beside me
I touch my mom’s beak
I understand the fox was very hungry
I say I was scared
I dream the fox will go away

A Sad Flower

I am a flower
I wonder how it is to be picked
I hear they want to pick me
I see them coming toward me
I want them to pick me
I am a daffodil

I pretend I do not want to be picked
I feel bad for pretending
I touch my stem
I understand my problem
I say do not pick me
I dream that I did not say that

Adam B. 3E

  I Am a Flower

I am a flower
I wonder when I will bloom
I hear the sound of laughter
I see only nothing
I want to just be free
I am a tulip

I pretend to be happy
I feel so very sad
I touch part of my unforgiving bud
I understand…this is my third time
waiting to bloom
I say “oh I am trapped”!
I dream about spring


Eve K. 3E

I Was Picked

I am a flower.
I wonder what it would be like if I could walk.
I hear the pot flunk on the ground,
water splashing inside.
I see her reaching down, scissors in hand.
I want to stay alive.
I am a flower.

I pretend she doesn’t have a pot.
I feel something cold touching me.
I touch the cool water, and I am very thirsty.
I understand that I was picked,
but I still don’t want to be.
I say I need HELP! The forget-me-nots
hear me,
and they already forgot.
I dream that it’s a dream,
but it’s not, and I think I like it.
