PART I
NATURE POEMS
Geode and Shell
My geode feels rough.
It feels bumpy and prickly
How do you cut it?
It looks shiny and icy
My shell is blue and white.
It is like the ocean because...
it has waves like the ocean!
-Claudia Saravia
Sand Dollar
I am
walking
on the
beach
then
I went
in the
water
then
I saw a
shark
then my
dad beat
it up then
it choked out
a paper money
then a wave washed the shore
then my dollar
got washed
away then I
saw a sand dollar.
-Deon Pierce
Crystals
My crystal is big and beautiful like my
teacher
It looks like ice and a rock.
It is white and shiny.
My crystal, it is very beautiful
like my teacher.
-Kiara Ramos
A War of El Salvador
This war was real.
My mom said so.
It was about soldiers and kids.
The soldiers wanted to kill kids.
The kids were hiding on the roof.
Some were hiding in the house.
But some of the soldiers found them.
