Life
What are the colors of life?
Could be black for endless strife
Red is the color of the heart,
when cupid fires his aimless dart,
The sky is blue or gray
It just shows how life can change day by day
Yellow is the color of sunlight and spring flowers
I bask in them hour after hour.
Green as the emerald sea
Brings peace to mind and tranquility,
Angels wings of sparkling white
lifting me up to flight.
So what are the colors of your life?

In My Mind
In my mind I think of thoughts I'll never reveal
I think of lovers and haters
they all come together as one
As I sing a rap song in my head
my thoughts are crowded,
one against the other
One right, one wrong
I'm going crazy!
I'm losing my mind!
It's like I want to die!
But when I think of life I smile and
think again

My Poem
No more leaf, no more star
no more bird that travels far
I have journeyed very far
but I'll come back
cause earth is where I belong.
- Jessica Penello, age 7
A Frog
One day Frog was in his bed.
It was night and he sang a bed song
And Frog was dizzy because he sang so long.
The next morning. . .
He put his shirt on backwards
And when he got to school
He put his coat and bookbag
in the school's pool!!!!!

Spring
Spring is here
And the flowers are growing
On the trees.
Flowers are green, red, yellow,
Purple, pink and orange.
Grass is getting darker.
Sun is shining in your window
When you wake up.
Spring is here
And I can run very, very fast
With my spring clothes on.
- Chanel T.
Winter
Winter is when it is cold.
The cold makes me mad.
The cold makes my nose run
And then I feel bad.
But I like the snow because it is cold.
You can make a snowman.
I like watching the snow fall.
I can make a print of my hand.
- Ashley S.
Colors
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
My face is brown
But what about you?
Some are black
Others are yellow,
But what ever way you put it
My face is just really mellow.
- Rita Brown
A Poem
As the cool rushes of the waters dance in the wind,
a song fills the atmosphere around you.
You feel as if you're as light as a feather,
flying through the mist of the wind.
Just then angels appear with their magnificent wings
and smiling faces soft and magical.
In this world of wonders, the angels shall speak,
they have written a note as sweet as honey and as kind as a kiss.
They have said: "Life will go on with sorrow inside,
yet faith spreads within you,
for you have been blessed by an angel's heart
and have been honored by a beauty of soul."
- Allie Rose, age 9
Dreams
Up there somewhere, in the sky above,
white silk doves fly gracefully through the sky,
leading and teaching you how one must seek one's dreams,
so dream your dreams and dream them with soul.
- Allie Rose, age 9
A Poem
Sometimes you wonder what will occur inside this mixed up world.
The cool air flows through the meadows of conscience and lands inside a hole,
as the hole's purpose remains "BURIED."
The heart of the air keeps on beating through the harmful winds and the crashing moments.
Written on that heart is a note and it says:
Your thoughts, so vivid, that it can lift you off your feet into the wonders,
the wonders of the atmosphere that stands before,
so high up that you must look down to see heaven.
A new soul is replacing your old soul for a new background
which awaits you in your second life!

Once There Was No Rhyme
Once upon a time
there was no such thing as rhyme
and nothing sounded right
when people dared to write.
But then a little girl
whose name was Lilly Pearl
called her brother Tommy...
and then she shouted "Mommy!"
She said it once again
then ran to find a pen.
She wrote each word one time
and so invented Rhyme!.
- Shoshana Kurzweil
A Dog on a Log
Remember Lilly Pearl
that special little girl
who once invented rhyme
then used it all the time?
One day, she saw a dog
just sitting on a log
looking so alone
just like it had no home.
She waited for a while
but then she had to smile,
'Cause doggy wagged its tail
and when it did, it sailed
right down on the ground
and made a plopping sound.
It made dear Lilly giggle,
and made that doggy wiggle,
then jump and yip and yap
and climb right on her lap.
It licked and licked her cheek,
which made dear Lilly squeak.
But then she heard a sound
and doggy hit the ground,
running toward its home,
leaving Lilly all alone.
She wished she had a dog,
like the one upon the log.

The Bully
Lilly Pearl and her brother Tommy
were on their way to school.
Lilly looked so pretty
and Tommy looked real cool.
They walked and talked when, suddenly,
a big tall boy appeared
and blocked their way with outstretched arms,
filling them with fear.
"Stop!" he yelled (an awful sound),
"and do just what I say!"
"Give me all your money
and then I'll go away."
Well, Lilly and her brother--
they were really kind of scared.
They wished that they could disappear
and go just anywhere.
Or better yet..if Mom and Dad
could magically appear.
They would make that bully run
cowering in fear.
But Mom and Dad were both at home
and no one else was there.
So Lilly thought real hard, then said:
"Wait..I know! There's prayer!"
The prayer was short. Just one word.
"HELP!" and that was all
But suddenly, that bully didn't look as big and tall
A funny thing was happening.
They were getting braver.
And bully boy was backing off.
His courage seemed to waver.
They never knew what happened there,
but Bully went away,
and they were both so happy that
they'd learned at home to pray.

Tolly Timson and the Salt Saga
Tolly Timson took the table salt.
He was halfway when he came to a horrifying halt.
(While proceeding to put the porridge in the proper bowl;
Some salt slipped into his shoe; right to the sole!)
Screaming, squawking in sidesplitting smiles,
Thumping, treading on tattered old tiles.
'This thing seems to tickle my toes like thread,'
That awkwardly astonished, arrogant boy said.
‘Mama made me mop the mat,
Specially the spot where the spilled salt sat.
My crepe-soled shoes, now as clean as the new tide,
I can’t believe, was full of Sodium Chloride!’
Now Tolly Timson who turned wiser today,
Anyhow, anytime, anywhere, anyway,
Will never spill salt in his crepe-soled shoe ever again.
(But he has happened to have spilled it on the windowpane!)

Holidays
Holidays are for enjoying everything,
When you can,
To rest your mind
From everyday life,
To pamper your family,
In wonderful ways,
To revive childhood friendships
(Treasured most are they)
To explore your own surroundings,
The beauty of nature,
In your hands,
And let your mind recapture
The fond memories of yesterday.
- Insiyah Amiruddeen, age 15, Sri Lanka
My Heart Of Stone
My heart, they say,
Does not care a damn for anyone,
Or anything that lives on Earth,
Or underneath the Sun.
My heart, they say,
Is like the rocks that lie by the sea,
That makes the calm water hurt itself,
When the shore it comes to meet.
But they don’t know,
That my heart knows more
Than what they seem to think.
It has the love that saves this world,
From hatred and self-defeat.
And if my heart was no more,
You’d only stop to think,
“Was that the heart that loved everyone,
Be them bitter or so sweet?”
- Insiyah Amiruddeen, age 15, Sri Lanka
Wonderful Nite
As the Moon comes out on this wonderful starry nite
I thanked the lord because he let you be with me tonite.
Because I was scared because I wanted to
weep but u gave me a hug and gave me your hand
and said it's alright to weep.
You told me not to be scared,
You were with me holding my hand throughout the nite
as we walked together to this wonderful starry nite.

Our Song
As the sun sets low benath the colorful sky
there is a love song playing for you
and it's the song that we once shared when we were little girls
and now that we are older that love song has brought us closer together
day by day we share each others thoughs.
As the night falls we walk hand in hand never letting go till the end
- Carrie
