Spring Peas
Spring grows fresh green peas
Bunnies hop past red tulips
My boots soaked in mud
Lucas Kleven
Oh The Wind
Just one gust of wind
Blowing the leaves of the trees
I see November.
Aariz Ahmed
Grandpa and Winter
Winter is never
the same without grandpa here
I wish he’d come home
Lydia Benish
Spiderweb
You don’t know it’s there.
Glistening in the sunlight.
Silent, as a drop.
Zoe Feyrer
Sandstorm
Dust that clouds the sky
Rumbling a deadly fate
Tears through the desert
Philo White
Stormy Weather
Cumulonimbus,
Breeze into a hurricane,
The deafening boom.
Benjamin Greenberg
The Night
Moonlight on the pond
Curious fish below peeks.
What is this new light?
Ryan Huang
Confidence
The tides calmly rise
Only to fall back again
Just like confidence
Eliana Ruotti
