Moonlight by Kimyatta F.

In front of my bed
I see my carpet
glowing so bright
and light
When I lay
my head
down I think
of what I am going to do in the morning
When I listen to the wall I hear
neighbors across from me talk
like they are animals.

Going to Sleep by India W.

When I go to sleep I
hear my family
talk about me. talk
and learning.
As I drifted away,
My dream comes today.
I dream about my daddy.
Being so happy.

Things I See at Night by Julian C.

Before my bed
There is bright moonlight
on my blue bedspread
like blue paint on paper
Bringing my head up
I look out the window
Bringing my head down
I dream that I’m in candy land.

I see us but
in sleep with a dream

What I See when I Go to Sleep by Jayleen P.

Before I go to sleep I see
my lava lamp, sticker that glow in the
dark, I see them
stop.

Before Bed by Angel M.

Before bed I see my toys.
There are a lot of stars
And it seems like I’m in WWE
In the ring.
Before bed I see my shoes
There’s a big moon
And it seems like I’m in the space
Flying

Untitled by Benjamin N.

Before my bed
There is my mom shining bright light
So I fell asleep
But I can’t fall asleep.
I dream about mom making good food
I dream about my baby cousin
I dream about good
