Grasshopers
May 14, 2012 by Cole
They lurch they lope
from grass to grass
waiting for a gnat to pass.
Skipping , gliding
across the leaves
danging though the autumn breeze.
And when ice scatters across the pond,
and trees are bare and cold,
the dance back home
lurching and loping
skipping on trees
while the are hopping,
for summer to arrive.

Thunder Storm
May 14, 2012 by Declan
The Clouds Roll In
like sheep walking through the pasture
lightning rockets through the sky
like a strobe light flashing on and off
”boom” thunder comes next
the rain pours down
as if someone had turned a faucet on in the sky
”pitter, patter, pitter, patter”
the rain never stops
The trees ach and bend
like someone bending over to tie their shoe
the wind blowing hard on my face
tearing across the valley it goes
as the storm dies away
no more lightning
no more thunder
The rain stops
ever thing is back to normal

MERMAIDS
May 3, 2012 by martha17fd
Slithering,
shivering,
shimmering,
mermaids.
They slither on the ground,
even though they’re bound,
to shiver while they’re at it.
They shimmer under the sea,
while they look at me.
