Track Name: The Rose: THE ROSE
A Rose
Outside my window
In the morning
A bright red rose
Outside my window
In the morning
A bright red rose
Outside my window
In the bright, bright
Sunlight of the morning
“WAKE UP” I hear
I jump out of bed “WOOO”
(I had forgotten I had
a bunk bed and was now
sprawled out on the floor)
“Oh Well” I say
All the noise had woken
Up my sister who was
Screaming on the floor
Then I remembered
The rose
I hopped back in bed
And fell asleep again
A Rose
Outside my window
In the morning
A bright red rose
Outside my window
In the morning
A bright red rose
Outside my window
In the bright, bright
Sunlight of the morning
3rd Grade Anna
Track Name: Music: MUSIC
Music to a listener
Is like a singing bird
Music to a player
Is like a whistling girl

Music to a writer
Is like a writers pen
Music to nature
Is like nature’s friend

Music to Music
Like sounds to sounds
Beautiful music
Makes beautiful Sounds
From sound to music
From music to sound
If you listen
Your mind will spin around

Listen just listen
Don’t try to look
Looking at music
Injures it for good

Close your eyes
Try not to weep
Listen to music
While falling asleep
5TH Grade Anna
Track Name: Apple Tree: APPLE TREE
Surrounded by apple trees
Starting to grow
Starting to bloom
Starting to show
Their beautiful
Apples all over the tree
If you pick one
You’ll have to pick three
5th Grade Anna
Track Name: Lovely, Lovely, Lovely: LOVELY, LOVELY, LOVELY
Trees are lovely
Bees are lovely
Even little green peas
Are lovely

Flowers are Lovely
Towers are Lovely
And Twelve hours to sleep
Are Lovely
4th Grade Anna
Track Name: The Swan: THE SWAN
A gliding swan
Moving swiftly
Over the waters
Onto the shore

Sitting down
On the flowery bank
Moving her eyes
That’s all

Watching something
Nobody knows
Watching every step

Then taking off
Circling, Circling, Overhead

And coming down
Suddenly
To Land in the mud

Back in the water
Gliding around
Waiting, Waiting

With wings strong as iron
A beak made of gold

Waiting, Waiting

With feathers like silk
And feet of bright yellow

Waiting, Waiting
Waiting, Waiting

Suddenly

Most suddenly
Jumping up
Screeching
With horror

I think not much

Another screech
Came echoing back

She had found a mate
She was happy
At last
Track Name: A Great Memory: A GREAT MEMORY
A campfire crackling
Red and orange
Family, telling stories
Laughing, games, talking
Singing, treats, charades
Warming up
Great smells
Squirrels and chipmunks
Listening
Baked potatoes
Dad’s voice saying
“Pickel can you
Get the potatoes?”
Getting hungry
Eating a lot
All is quiet
Except for our voices
Snuggling down in my
Sleeping bag
Hearing rain outside the tent
Very warm inside my heart
Delicious
Comfortable
One of the best nights ever
5th Grade Anna
Track Name: Life: LIFE
A baby child
A baby seed
A baby flower
A baby tree
All have life
A life to live
A life to show
A life to give
A life to grow

A middle-aged child
A middle-aged seed
A middle-aged flower
A middle-aged tree
All have life
A life to have fun
A life to have toys
A life to run
A life full of joy

A grownup child
A grownup seed
A grownup flower
A grownup tree
All have life
A life to see
A life to play
A life to work
In their own special way

A dead child
A dead seed
A dead flower
A dead tree
All had life
A life of talk
A life of might
A life of memories
A life of light

A baby child
A baby seed
A baby flower
A baby tree
You gave life
5th Grade Anna
Track Name: Colors: COLORS
The colors of life
Are the colors of death
The colors of death
Are the colors of birth
The colors of birth
Are the colors on Earth

The colors of moving
Are the colors of loving
The colors of loving
Are the colors of giving
The colors of giving
Are the colors of living
5th Grade Anna
Track Name: Thoughts of Snow: THOUGHTS OF SNOW
Snowdrops out my window
Like silver floating leaves
They pound on my window
As I drift off to sleep

As daylight comes around
The sliver leaves die down
And make a lovely cover
For the soft and pretty ground

At noon the snow is fun
To play in or to run
To make a snowman with a nose
Or just to lie down in the snow and sun

After supper, sitting
Watching every step of
Winterfrost our passerby
And summer sun our guest

As night sinks in once more
And snow begins to fall
I fall asleep and dream of snow
Falling as it falls
5th Grade Anna
Track Name: Stream: STREAM
A stream in winter
With one eye it seems like just snow
With two eyes it seems like ice
With three eyes it seems like water
Rustling just as always

A stream in springtime
With one eye it seems like flowers
With two eyes it seems like rocks
With three eyes it seems like water
Rustling just as always

A stream in summer
With one eye it seems like fallen trees
With two eyes it seems like berries
With three eyes it seems like water
Rustling just as always

A stream in Autumn
With one eye it seems like sticks
With two eyes it seems like fallen leavers
With three eyes it seems like water
Rustling just as always

A stream anytime
With one eye it seems like moss
With tow eyes it seems like whistling birds
With three eyes it seems like water
Rustling just as always
5th Grade Anna
Track Name: Lullaby of the Sweet: LULLABY OF THE SWEET
Lullaby of the sweet
Please sing me to sleep

Under the willows or
Out on the deep
Over the hills or
Down by the creek

Deep in the forest
Wandering afar or
Out in the meadow
Under the stars*

Out in the city or
Back on the farm
Down by the ocean
Asleep in your arms*

Lullaby of the sweet
Please sing me to sleep
4th Grade Anna

Track Name: Descriptive Writing: DESCRIPTIVE WRITING
A grayish greenish, brown
A mossy yellow
The sun shining down
And blue sky up above
White, tan, clouds
In flower shapes
Bright from the sun
Shining down from space

On the fir green trees
Tints of pure white snow
Land on tips of branches
Where they softly blow
A squirrel or two
Jumps around
An auburn chipmunk
Nibbles on you

The hard brown ground
Has changed to white
A soft wet mixture
Overnight
Some unbr0oken wind
Breezing over
Lightly
Barely

Through the chimney
Comes hazy smoke
A blackish, grayish, brown, that smells of tree bark coke

Hear the rustling stream
Underneath the ice
An icy bright layer on top
With a bluish, greenish, gray beneath

A bright little cabin
Bustling about
A white winter’s eve and a
Cold winter’s night
5th Grade Anna
Track Name: A Special Place: A SPECIAL PLACE
I roam the hills afar
Until I find the place
To be alone

To think a lot
Where freedom and peace
Are natural habits
Practiced all the time
Like music in a valley
Or colors in a vine

My mind roams afar
To find this place
Around the mountains
Around this space
And at last it settles down
Among some Hemlock trees
With a bunny
And a squirrel
A place
Just for me
5TH Grade Anna
