"Spring"

The sound of birds.
The sight of flowers,
dancing in the breeze.
The sound of the leaves
swaying on the trees.
The sight of bugs
On the ground
Some are long,
Some are round.
The sound of laughter
in the park.
On the swing
there’s a boy named Mark.
I like spring!

"Spring"

The sound of wind over head,
crack a base ball whizzes by.
Bicycles racing down the street,
jackets thrown in a heap.
Swoosh the basketball flies through the net.
Spring is here!

"Spring"

The rain drip dropping
on the new flowers.
The hot sun shinning over
God’s beautiful earth.
The leaves budding
as green as new grass.
The ladybugs crawling
up and down
the slippery slide.
Spring makes me happy!

"Bugs"

Colorful, creepy, gentle
Crawl
slowly quickly, everywhere.

"The World’s Beauty"

The leafy green path
The squealing of squirrels
The breeze hits the trees
The heavens open
And allow little bits of light to seep through
The ringing of the robin’s voice
The singling of the old black crow
By the path a red rose blooms
And take away all my glooms.
Above my head I see quacking black specs
In a V-shape they fly
The feeling of mud between my toes
The thought of the cold winter, far far ahead
The sound of wild horses thumping their hooves
A nest of hay in a pine tree quietly it lays
The sparkling water
The dazzling stars
The peacock spreads its feathered tail
To the colors of orange, red, green and blue
The feathers are beautiful
The world is too!

"The Beach"

Walking in the sand.
Listening to the water
The sun is setting
ad the water is blue.
There’s a boat docking
ad there’s nothing to do.
Sitting in the sand.
Listening to the water.
The sun is gone.

"Butterfly"

Wings, Petty
Flying, Drinking, Catching
Resting on flowers.

"My Favorite Animals

A bamboo eater.
A white and black fellow.
A cute nose.
My panda bear.
A sharp tooth.
A cute cat.
A furry friend
My tiger baby.
An annoying bark.
A really cute paw.
A very playful thing.
My puppy.
A furry fur ball.
a soft purr.
A cool thing.
My cat.

"Beach"

A beach is beach.
A beach has water.
A beach has seagulls.
My beach.
A shell can be on a beach.
A tree can be on a beach.
A friend can be on a beach.
My beach.
A sandy beach is good.
A rocky beach is bad.
A beach is relaxing.
My beach.

"Spring"

Spring on earth is a wonderful time
Spring comes with a soft bing,
Where robins sing.
In the U.S. spring means blooming
Flowers, not dooming snow,
And with sun glow on your face you
Just have to smile
Spring is here, let’s shout with all our might.
Not pout with the biting wind.
Feel the breeze on your face,
And not peel old potatoes, but new ones.
Smell the sweet scent of flowers.
Hum along with soft church bells
That ring and sing in harmony.
For that is what a soldier dreams of at war
When they are far away from home.
