What I Do
a poem by Ahsan I.,
Grade 4
I am a brain struggling. I am a shadow behind a bush. I am a tree cooling down, I am a ghost running around, I am a hero rescuing an animal, I am a hand that's catching, I am a glass with water, I am a game that is broken, I am food that's warm, I am a house that protects, I am an animal eating, I am a cats brain. I am a horse's heart, I am a duck in water, I am the sun going down.

Who is loud Who is itchy left and right Who is jumping up and down Who is sleeping In the basket Who is laying in the grass Reading the clouds Who is cleaning itself Who is walking on walls Who is looking at a book Reading for hours Who is going home From a walk Very tired Making a paper Looking around Saying goodbye Going out Playing Having fun

Me, Myself and I
a poem by Chioma O.,
Grade 4
Today, I'm a river Falling down a waterfall. Just keep on falling.
Tomorrow, I'm a daisy, Being ripped out of the Ground.
Last night, I dreamt Of being cuddled by my Lovely mother. She said I'll Be alright.
Yesterday, I was a book Being slammed by a very Furious child.
In the morning, a bird Singing a beautiful lullaby.

Guess What
a poem by Christopher C.,
Grade 4
Who is it, 3 people and me, Who is the floor with people Over it, who is some one to Care for? Our care is
Who cares about nurturing Animals, we do, who likes The open fields in the Surge of joy, what is The mystery of love And family, no one Knows, but we do.
We are the family of Time, we are the Family of best, But one question Who is the spark Of life in us, which Family, we are.
