Ms. Hernandez (7th Grade)
A woosh swims past you
circles back around
A small face peeks.
A smaller one grabs hold
and
is towed along for the ride.
She ducks into the plants
and swims up to the beach
She crawls on and flops in the warm sun.
Her fun ripples and she
lets you touch her
as soft and cool as velvet.
She gives a cry,
and falls asleep on the beach.
The American horse can fly it has
wings as long as a giraffe’s head
it flies in the sky like an eagle
it has razor sharp teeth like
a shark the color of the horse
is the USA flag.
Buzzing
a small bite
red, itchy
scratch scratch again
more itchy
red bump, more flies
more bumps
unbearable
as I go home
itchy as can be.
Swimming, seeing, imagining
Learning
Hunting, camouflaging
Living, dying
Loving, aweing humans
by just existing
Ms. Hernandez (8th Grade)
The predator of the ocean
one that can’t haunt your dreams if you even look at it
big or small it doesn’t matter
A reputation that scares you to look at
but are sharks really bad?
they’re just an aquatic animal anyways
What makes them scary?
It’s not the size of them
or all their teeth & speed
It’s the act they come out of nowhere
they’re so mysterious you could be playfully surfing
one minute and the next see a shark which destroys
everything in its path
But only everyone knows is the stereotypical great white
and 1 in a million situations
If you take a deeper look
they’re simply just another animal trying to survive
the dangers of the water.
A clear gluttonous object lays in the
sand. It’s almost see through and has no eyes.
It looks like jelly.
You may wanna touch it, but
BEWARE
Its tentacles are like razor cutting across the sun.
It’s a jelly fish.
Its head is a complex computer made of jelly.
BEWARE
It’s a jelly fish.
so when you see it in the sand,
BEWARE and stay away
Lizards act with passion
I hear them run through foliage
long scaly tail
Hits the grass
of huddled exposures
I hear
I hear
I hear it run
Tan rapido como el viento
pero letal como un mar en tormenta
parece lindo pues su esponjoso pelaje
lo hace ver muy lindo como un
pequeño y adorable peluche pero no es
confundas pues esa criatura tan linda
por fuera te podría comer en menos
de lo que canta un gallo puesto
que sus grandes colmillos como una
mata de coco podrían acabar puestos
en ti sin que te des cuenta, su
pelaje amarillo avezes naranjiso
con pequeños y grandes circulos negros
a marrones por todo su cuerpo
patas delgadas y largos hechas para
correr maratones sin cansarse, aunque
peligroso es mucha gente de mascota
lo quiere tener sin entender que tarde
o temprano se revelara y por mas domesticado
que este te camara pos ese es
su instinto y nunca lo cambiara.
