your vision, your voice
My cat has a hat
Even though it’s quite hat
I call it a plate,
Because it’s really quite straight
He says it looks cool
When he jumps in the pool
Ohh sure,
He’s SOOOO mature
He’s only three,
He can’t even climb a tree!
My cat has a hat.
Boone Elementary
3rd
Unique as a magical fairy
Never not opera singing with pigs
Interested in rainbow poop
Creates worlds of cotton candy
On rainbows dancing
Resting on a rainbow
Not just a horse with a carrot on its head
Boone Elementary

The revenge of the chickens
I ate some chicken soup
And a chicken ice cream scoop
Saw a set of angry eyes
Two wings that don’t fly
I now rest in a chicken coop

Next time before you drink
You should stop and think!
Water got EVERYWHERE!
My nose,
My toes,
My eyes,
My hair.
It started with a sploosh
And ended with a splash
But instead of stopping to think,
I blanked out and dashed.

Ssshhhh he’s coming
A big ugly monster
We don’t want him to find us so be quiet
Ssshhhh he’s near
Be still and quiet
We don’t want him to eat us so be quiet
Ssshhhh he’s right here
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! HE’S GOING TO EAT US!!!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I’m like this she’s like that
she like this I like that
when I suggest a game
she says no let’s play tag
I say no thanks
We are all different

Me and her are 2 good friends
Me and her like the same things
Me and her are always together
We are never separate
We are 2 good friends

Wind is great
I love wind
I let my hair blow
I let my heart flow
And I let the wind
Go
Blanton Elementary School
3rd
Walking down the aisle
Lowered eyes
Bent heads
Tears fall
But we don’t bother
To wipe them up
We walk back
To the part that I dread
Because they always say the same thing-
That they’re sorry, but it’ll be okay
I believe them,
That it will be okay
But for now it’s not
I’m not
We go back to the house
Empty when we’re not there
But one by one we go
Leaving it like a graveyard-
Too quiet, too lonely, too cold
Not right
Not like before

Vroom, Vroom
Strolling down the streets of Austin, Texas
Pat Pat Pat Pat Pat Pat
I hear the rhythm of our feet walking on the sidewalks
We look everywhere
we see buildings we see buses
we WISH we saw trains
We hear people talking
We smell the smell of TexMex food coming out of the restaurants
We feel the hard pavement under our feet
We talk and we have fun walking down the Austin streets
