At School (rhyming)
by Karissa  age 12
As I was looking at the clock
I heard some noises going tick-tock
One of my friends shouted, "look!"
He found a big poetry book
Everyone gathered round
No one was making any sound
There was a poem that was called Dome
but then it was time to go home.
I grabbed my backpack and folder too,
hoping the day wasn't really through!

Birds (acrostic poem)
by Gaonong  age 9

Birds like to eat worms
I have a bird
Red is the color on some birds
Do baby birds eat worms?
Some baby birds are cute
