A Winter's Day

On a cold, winter day, I walked to the park wearinga grey trench coat. People passed and I could see

they were merry, for Christmas was on its way. As I

reached the park, I saw kids throwing snowballsand making snowmen while other people were ice

skating and laughing. As I watched all of this, I was

thinking of my Christmas past, throwing snowballswith my sister, opening presents on Christmas Day,

and me in my youth laughing and enjoying the

thought of my family together. Soon those happy

times were over so I left the park leaving behind all

my memories with the knowledge that this, too,would soon be a memory!

-- Jeffrey

cotton candy clouds

The clouds are like cotton candy swirling around

ever so gently in a bowl. Moving calmly in thewind, and moving further away from the trees and

the sun. I hear the big, giants rustling in the cool,

calm breeze. Looking at the sun setting is so brightand yellow. I can't look away. Soon, the shading

covers the dark brown ground, and the cloud is a

peach just beginning to ripen. The sunset is like atiger beginning to pounce on its prey. When I look

at the trees they almost disappear into the night sky.

-- Sierra

The Lost Tree

The tree is a person standing alone in the darkness

waiting for the sun to come out of hiding. It's as

lonely as a new student waiting to make friends.

Clouds slowly start to pull apart as the sun peeks

around the corner. The creaky fence is a gate to thefield of trees below. Barbwire sits ready to remind

any one who comes close enough to stay away. All

the rickety braches rock like a new born baby snugin the arms of its mother gently swaying in a

rocking chair. The sad tree waits as a single rain

drop trickles down the long healthy trunk. The skydarkens and is ready for the storm coming its way.

It thunders and booms and the dead grass lay

motionless soaked. But the little tree still standsalone.

-- Kassidy

The Majestic Night

The moon shone brightly, like a candle illuminating

a pitch black room. I lowered my gaze and set it on

the tall oak tree. It was either dead, or if it waswinter, "sleeping". Its leafless branches extended

toward the sky like a frail cobweb blowing in the

wind. I shuddered, the moon was an orange, it was

strangely full, (if it were an orange it would burstwith ripeness), and deep in color. It looked like a

marmalade kind of yellow, with a tint of red in it. It

cast an evil glow across the sky. The sky was evenstranger; it was dull and cloudy, the clouds were

plump, (and rather squashed looking) apples. (Or

that's what they looked like). And had a mix offiery red, black, and blue. It was eerie, yet

majestically beautiful. I stood transfixed for a

moment, sighed and started to walk off, dead leaves

suffocating between my feet.-- Elizabeth

Drop

When you glance down you can see a pond with

water that is as clear as glass. It just showered arhythmical rain. A constant "drip drop" tells you

that water droplets, clear and circular just fell to the

Earth. A leaf of pine green has an aqua drop thatquickly falls down into the pond, like a ball

bouncing off of the surface with a quiet splash. The

bronze colored fish frantically scatter to the edgesof the circular pool of water when the drop hits the

surface. The cool refreshing water ripples as slowly

as a Rollie-Polly. The ripples are soldiers slowly

dying in a war.

-- Connie

Sandy Beach

The sparkly sea splashes up onto the sandy beach.

The sand spreads across the beach like million oftiny grains of salt, covered by shells the sea

randomly washed up over the years. One is striped

like a zebra with blue. Another one is a sunset

colored pink, orange and cream. Small sticks arescattered forming many barriers against the

different shells. The sea is a bag of sunflower seeds

with its salty aroma. I take one last glance andslowly walk back to the car awaiting the next time I

visit the beach.

-- Alice

THE MOON

A white orb, an illuminant tear in the grand tapestry

of black around it. It sits perched like a hawk,staring through a blank, transparent window of fog

that it is caged around, keeping its true celestial

splendor from the thousands of spectators, sleepingunder the shadow of light it casts. Its radiance,

creeps around the blanket of mist that keeps it

captivated from the land below it. It lies in the

center of the sky, as a blanket of wonder tucks it in.High in the sky it sits the center of attention to the

bright gray and surrounding air. A silver quarter,

falling through a dusty desk of black and gray. Inthe center, the moon, and all around it, fog with he

depth of space around it.

-- Alec

She sits, waiting anxiously, ready for anything. Her

heart beats, waiting for the results. Cheering voices

surround her, as she is waiting for the awards. Afterher hard day of work, strain, and concentration shehears, 4th. . . 3rd. . .2nd. . . then, a huge relief, 1st

prize, her name is called. The grin on her face was

lightning everyone's faces, for their teammate hadwon. The coaches hug her, her teammates cheer

loudly, it is the happiest day of her life, now there

is only one thing to do, go home, and keep workingwithout forgetting the wonderful day when she beat

134 girls.

-- Tessa

joyfully, I dipped my foot into the cool, clear oceanon that scorching hot day. The sun was beating

down on me as the crystal blue water pulled the

golden sand from between my toes.As the wave tumbled closer, I stood up on thesurfboard and fearfully rode toward the safety of

the shore.

-- Breanna
