Raindrops Rain is hard Rain is like bricksIt is like millions of letters,

Crashing down on youIt is like pelts that come from outer space

Like puddle laying sandRain has many different types

But as long as it goes pit pat

It will still be tiny raindrops

Pouring on you Alexander 2007

Diamonds

Sparkling,

Glittering diamonds,

These valuable pieces of jewelry

They are very hard to break in half

They look like tinted glass

They are precious

By Alexander BelangerBy Alexander Belanger

The most embarrassing thing

The most embarrassing thing

Was when I had to do a

Simple, easy poem

When I wrote my poem

Just quick, not slow,

To go outside for recess

And I ripped my pants,

Coming down a slide

And when we went inside

My teacher asked me

To share my poem

In front of the class

I was to embarrassed

To tell that I couldn’t

‘Cause I had ripped my pants

So I went up in front of my class

And did the dreading thing

Everyone was laughing

So they couldn’t restore order

So I got sent home early!

Baseball

Batter up

All of us cheer ‘cause the score is tied

Seven to seven

Extra innings

Bases loaded

And we hit a home run

Long gone, over the fence

Losing is not for us!

Wind

Whisper whisper

Goes the wind, tickling the leaves

Wishhhhh

Tiny leaves fall by

Wiiioosshh

Rustling the leaves more hard now

Whoosh

A storm is here

Splat pat pat splat pat pat

The rain is hitting the ground hard

Splash

The rain is falling into puddles

Slowly forming on the ground

Signs of SpringThe stray leaves twirl in the air,The cool, fresh air refreshes me,Calms me.New grass grows up through the

brown grassThe sun warms me While the breeze cools me Flowers are blossomingEverything is new and pure and

freshEverything is growingNatures look is changingSigns of spring surround me

MemoriesWatching a surfing video Every day summer seems closer and closerThere are a lot of good memories in

summerSurfers in Central America bring back

memories of the oceanThe sky reminds me of sunny days,One after anotherThe sand brings back memories of the

beachAnd just the sport of surfing brings back the

memory of gamesWatching people having fun Are memories of the best things in summerHaving funTrees bring back memories of walking in the

woods, Feeling free outsideThere are so many memories,A good surfing video can bring
