Spooky Pizzeria - BEWARE! Navi R. and Cole C.

The suspense builds up
Waiting for pizza and soda
Your breathing gets heavy
Got my favorite pizza

You feel someone watching
On March 1978
Your body gets overwhelmed
It’s the same shape and it’s perfecto

Is my life over?
I got a slice out
Your brain hurts
Large perfecto

Something bad is soon going to happen
Sitting with silence with a crowd, please yes
You black out
Me, myself waiting at the table

The Perfecto Slice Cole C.

The me myself waiting at the table
Waiting for pizza and soda
Sitting at silence with a crowd, please yes
Got my drink

It’s so bubbly that I can imagine
At March 19, 1978
Got my favorite pizza
Large perfecto

I got a slice out
It’s the same shape and it’s perfecto
It’s just so good
The taste the smell
It’s too good to be true

Field of Flowers Cole C.

A field of flowers
Being as beautiful as the sun
Ceiling of our plantation
Dock the plants to a garden shed
Bickering to the people
Even the plants bicker
Don’t do anything
To tinker the plants.

Eeling em
Giving what the plants as survive
Flowering the flourish
Hell goes away

Goes to heaven
Chiming the flowers
Hatred goes around
As popularity rises

Oliver's ACORNS!!! Whitman G. and Morgan F.

Oliver hates ACORNS
rejects them from squirrels
Squirrels hate him
crushes acorns with sledgehammer

Safe of Secrets Audrey and Oliver

No key no hope trapped millions or
more

Millions of secrets in the room flowers
bloom with a darkened groom

Secrets are truthful secrets don’t
lie secrets are hurtful but they
keep you alive

Colors Audrey

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
are all colors of the Rainbow
there are enough colors to enjoy
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink

are all colors of the rainbow
there are enough colors to like
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink
there are lots of colors

there are lots of colors
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, white
there are lots of colors
these are all colors I like

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, white
there are enough colors to enjoy
these are all colors I like
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
