The End
By Andrew Howe
The end is
the end
Of that end
And had an
end
That will
end
The end of
this.
But that is
not the end
Of this
book,
The title
of this book is THE END
And now
The end is
The end.
THE END
A Piece of Peace
By Andrew
A piece of
peace
Had a
piece of peace
That was
missing a piece,
The piece
of peace
Found the
piece,
And that
is how the pieces of peace
Ended in
peace.
Haiku
By
Hana Donovan
Snow is
like white rice
Falling
from above the sky
Snowflakes like white stars
Haiku
By
Hana Donovan
The hose
is a snake
It sticks
out its tongue when you turn it on
It
slithers when you pull it across the grass
Love, Peace, Joy
By Makena Gallagher
Peace
feels like you’re on a cloud singing with God.
Peace
tastes like a Shirley Temple with a cherry.
Peace
sounds like birds chirping with the wind.
Peace
smells like flowers swaying in the meadow.
Peace
looks like me sleeping outside with Mother Nature.
JAWS
By Milo Walshe
IT’S BLUE
AND WHITE
IT LIKES
TO FIGHT

AND BUCKS

wicked fast
IT’S QUICK
AND SWIFT
IT’S LIKE
A SPY
IT CAN NOT
DIE
if you
stay you’ll be it’s prey jaws is here!
Peace Nearby the Meadows
By Liona Sadler
Imagine
you are in the meadows, nearby a river.
Peace is
all around you.
You are
there, lying down on the fresh green grass.
The fresh
breeze blowing in your face.
Tastes
like sweet apple crunching in your mouth,
Smells
like clean rain drops, dropping down a bright leaf.
Peace Poem
By Fiona
Imagine
lying down on the beach,
You can
hear the waves going back and forth,
When you
look up,
You see
the clouds
And also
the bright sun.
When you
go into the water,
Everything
is quiet and peaceful.
When you
come up again to catch a breath,
you hear
people talking in whispers,
Going into
the water is peace for me.
Peace Recipe
By Ruby O’Keefe
To make a
peace cake
This is
what you need:
A pinch of
love
Some words
of care
The blue
of the sky
A bag of
jelly beans
Half of
the things you like
A friend’s
heart
Milk from
a peace cow
A little
bit of naughtiness, so the cake will not be boring
Then mix
it all together
Put it in
the oven to bake
Set the
clock for thirty minutes
And when
you take it out…
You’ll
have a peace cake!
Snowflakes
by Isa Lostaglio and Jaime Lee
Gently
falling to the ground,
Everywhere
they make no sound
People
watching near and far
Looking at
the Northern Star.
Flowers
by Isa
Lostaglio and Jaime Lee
Flowers
are needy for water, sun and soil,
If they
don’t get it they’ll crumple
Up like
foil, Roses, Daisies and Lilacs too
Let’s try
to make them beautiful and new.
Ice
cream
by Isa
Lostaglio and Jaime Lee
Ice cream
is yummy
Lick-a-ty-dick-a-ty-lick
Butterscotch, vanilla, and chocolate mint
But it
drips and it drips all over
Your
shoes, and maybe it will
Turn your
shoes blue!
THE CHEETAH
By Rachel Wilson
Black spots with a yellow coat.
Teeth that can stab your heart,
jaws that can break your bones.
Faster than a lion,
much cuter than a wildebeest.
Peering out from trees,
its glowing eyes say,
“Don’t mess with me!
I am a fierce cheetah.”
THE
ORCHESTRA OF RAIN
By Rachel Wilson
Splash, splash.
Cars drive by dumping water on people with umbrellas.
Ting! Ting!
Raindrops fall on metal roofs like glass cups hitting each other.
Splat, splat.
Rain hits the window and slides down like tears on my face.
I don’t have to go to a concert to listen to the orchestra of rain.
THE BLACK
CAT
By Rachel Wilson
A cat.
A black cat will appear.
In the boat, in the black river,
where the cool breeze blows,
you will only hear a soft “meow.”
By nighttime, at 12 O’clock,
it will begin its hunt.
Leaping quietly as a feather,
with a blink of an eye,
it will disappear.
Sunlight Friendship
By Makena
When I see the sun
I think of you, my best friend
Shining on my face
SNOW
by George and Felix
The snow is falling
The leaves are full of cold snow
The light makes snow
bronze
Rocks are Boring
by George and Felix
Rocks are so boring
Rocks do nothing but sit down
Rocks never have friends
Couches
by George and Felix
Couches are fluffy
Couches are very bouncy
Couches are so odd
Every couch does not get hurt
That’s why they are ODD
Sled Dogs
By Amanda Murphy
Fluffy dogs
Who pull a sled
With all their might
Through the snowy weather
Tired or not
Still going
Still going
