Forest: I was lost in the forest
where the wolfs were. No one
would save me, nobody could.I
ran in the darkness where the
owls were so they could
protect me from the
frightning night.Ilay on the
rocky ground and closed my
eyes to sleep soundly.I heard
all the wolfs running
nearer.I ran as far as I
could.But of course,I can
notrun as far as the wolfs.I
ran up the tree.Too bad,
wolfs!

Sharon, 11
My Life: My life has sorrow, it's pain
gets in my head. I feel the
pressure all the time and my
heart keeps pounding and my
lips get dry. I have strong
feelings that make me mad and
feel really sad.But my
happiness makes those bad
feelings go away.My path of
light will bring the peace
again.This is my life.

jane, 10
My Eyes Don't Lie: If rose is green and grass is
red, will you remember what I
said?Just don't forget,
before you regret. Stuck in
my mind a needle through my
head.The light you shine into
the night, you take away my
fright, everytime I feel
depressed I start to cry.
Cause this time it could mean
goodbye don't say goodnight.

Maggie, 11
Heaven: White clouds are all around
the big blue sky.The air is
such a breze, I want to fly.I
saw a rainbow and I feel so
bright.This is heaven, a
bright big peaceful place.The
love is full of warmth.This
is heaven,bigger than a
maze.Something that I never
imagined in my life.A place
of peace,my
wonderland.Something like a
change.This is heaven,full of
love and grace.I feel safe
upstairs, the most treasured
prize, this is heaven..

Mermaids 2: The adventures of Shona
continues.The beautiful girl
is getting use to walking
instead of swiming. In her
last adventure, Shona became
a human by a fairy named,
Sparkle.Walking made Shona
think ' Why did I wish to be
a human?'Suddenly, someone
grabbed Shona's arm.Turning
around, Shona found a boy
staring back at her. "I saw
you walk across the
street." 'So? Who cares if I
walk across the street?'Shona
said in her head. "You almost
got
crashed,""Oh.."
Right next to Shona was a
giantic lake. Shona missed
the times she used to swim
EVERY second but now she
didn't do it at all.'Come to
think of it, I have'nt been
swimming since I got
here.'Shona thought. Very
unexpectedly, Shona jumped
down the water and started to
swim. "Hey, what are you
doing?" The boy asked. Down
went Shona into the
water.Suddenly Shona felt
something weird happening to
her feet. They were joining
together!"I'm turning to
stone! I'm turning to stone!"
Shona thought. Instead,
Shona's mermaid scales begin
to appear and Shona knew what
was happening. She had turned
back to a mermaid! Her Blonde
hair began to get wet again.
Her clothes turned into her
old shell bikkini.The people
on the bridge looked down
with their mouth wide
open. "Au Revoir!" Shona knew
how to speak French well. A
rainbow appeared and Shona
smiled happily. "Welcome
home, Shona!" said the
fishes.They swam home
together. "What about your
parents?" They asked. "They
don't miss fish life at
all"Shona replied. Home Sweet
Home....was a very important
place.

Snow Dog Trails: You see wildlife, blizzards,
and lots of trees.

You feel fast breeze, any kind
of bumps, and very cold.

You smell dog breath, pine
gum, and the lining of your coat.

You hear dogs panting, hard
snow crunching under your
sled, and storms coming along.

You taste some of your hair
when it gets in the way, snow
falling, your mouth when it's dry.

The places are miles and miles
of snow covered trails, frozen
ponds, and water running fast
so it doesn't freeze up.

It is truly wild there.

You are always excited.

You rarely sleep.
When you get back, you yearn
for a warm shower, hot cocoa,
or even hotter tea.

But first, you tend to your dogs.

When you come back in, a
surprise is waiting.

A goose feather blanket awaits
in bed.

You drink hot tea.

You thaw your hands and feet.

While your dogs still bark,

You drift off to sleep.

Ally, 9
Summer Vacation: Me soaring through the park,
Staying ther until dark.
Flip flopping to the pool,
Oh! My friends are here this
is so cool.
As we lounge upon the chairs,
through the gate up the
stairs.
I walk towards the pool,
My friend comes right behind
me,
And she pushes me slightly.
I stop right before I go in,
My mom is here it's time to
end.
Waiting to do it again with
anticipation,
That's what I call Summer
Vacation!

Judith, 13
Happy Ice Cream: The cool nights' air brushed
passed the blue and content
swings.
They squeaked and squealed
as a moonlit girl and her
father sat on them.
They munched happily upon
the cold ice cream.
The girl looked up at her
father who was trying to
preform a trick with his ice
cream.
His attention was fully
devoted to the trick,
And when he wasn't looking,
The little girl slapped his
back and squealed.
He made a crazy face with
plum ice cream,
Smeared everywhere.
"Let's go home silly.." He
laughed.
The tress around them swayed
and sang as the father and
his daughter,
Made their way happily back
to their warm and cozy home.

Rainbow: The Rain and Sun above us all
can make a rainbow appear
this Fall.Dozens of diffrent
colors shine in the sky.Blue,
Red, Yellow, Purple, Orange,
and Green, are all flying up
together and making peace.We
capture these moments though
they won't be as bright,we
will still see a rainbow
shining with all of their
might.Don't try to catch the
rainbow even though it looks
easy,it will get farther as
you run with high speed.It
will not move nor scream out
and say "Come on and try to
catch me!",since it is just
seeable not able to go
to.Just run right back home
and take a quick nap,you
tried to complete your
mission but it is never easy!

gone and lost: I don't know what to do
You came and you left
You made me so happy when i was
sad
I gave you my heart
But you threw it away
I believed you were my other half, my
soul mate
You were mr right
Your gone now
And probably with some one else
You gave me hope, then you destroyed
me
I'm lost without you
I want to shrivel up and die
But under all of that, i hope your
happy
I hope you happy with out me
Don't think about me to often
And i will try to ignore the aching
inside of me
I am lost
never to be found
For there is no light and the end of
this tunnel
No you
No us
No hope

Mermaid: Looking at the sunset is a
wonderful mermaid.Her tail
has shiny hearts painted at
the end of her Greenish long
tail.A beautiful flower Lily
behind her ear.Swimming low
in the sea, her tail is
flicking around the air.Long
shades of smooth blonde hair
covers up her soft
face.Jealous mermaids are
swimming around her
curiosly.Her smile was 10
times bigger and brighter
than any mermaid in the
sea.Exploring around the
sunken ships just like the
most famous mermaid in the
world, Ariel.Her dream was to
be just like Ariel the
mermaid who became a
human. 'I wonder what it
would look like for me to
have legs'she would always
think.As the beautiful
mermaid was swimming a small
little key was tangeled to
her Blonde hair.She brushed
it out of her hair and put it
in her tail pocket.(every
mermaid has one)But this
mermaid was just the same as
other mermaids. She was not
brave.So before you count to
10 seconds she was already
lost in a sunken ship.But
inside was all the good news
she can find from the lost
key that got tangled in her
hair.The Mermaid quickly toke
out the key from her pocket
and opened up the tresure box
she saw.Inside of the box
were pictures and curses
that Neptune,(the king of
the sea)had made.It was the
first time she had ever
stared so hard at
something.This was the only
way to make her wish come
true and maybe she can get a
curse to turn back into a
mermaid sometime.She looked
at the most best curse she
could ever find to make her
wish come true."My Mermaid
life was very good but it is
not my favorite mood. I hope
I can change my life around
and make my human life all
about." Suddenly, bunch of
pixie dust appeared around
her."Oh, what a lovely
mermaid whats your name?"
said a fairy.
"My name is Shona."the
mermaid said. "Shona, do you
really want to be human?" the
Fairy asked.Shona knew her
family would be upset but she
was already 16 years
old. "Yes I want to be a
human even if I won't have a
family I'll make a family."
Shona said bravely. " You
don't need to make a family,
your family will all have
legs." The Fairy said. The
whole Family was proud of
Shona. From that day on Shona
knew that her wishes would
always come true. And that's
the end of the most beautiful
and brave mermaid. The End

The First Spring Bud: The moon enlightened the sky with its
brilliance
It was to be another warm autumn
night
The crispy,brown leaves crumpled
under foot
The forest was beautiful to any human
sight

The echoing wind whipped through
the trees
In the deepest, darkest part of the
wood
Where your blood runs cold and your
heartbeat quickens
That's where the lone phantom stood

On that one perfect moonlit night
The knocking began and the cries
commenced
Getting louder and louder until
unbearable
There was something in there,
something I sensed

My heart froze and my soul emptied
The cries were getting closer but the
knocking was dying away
I stepped out onto the empty porch
And there beneath me a body lay

The body was drained of any true
colour
The clothes were seeped in blood
But under all the mess I could tell
She was as beautiful as the first spring
bud

Teagan, 12
Life: Life is good life is great

Piercing, Sailing

as flowers wait
for the storms arms to fold,
for the storm to let go,
and pull no more.

Love: The warmth in my heart glows brighter
and brighter,
Throwing all other feelings away
My heart is growing bigger and bigger,
And has been like that all day
This strange feeling is like no other
It makes you dizzy with delight,
I would like to share this feeling with
one another,
But the chances of losing it are too
great
My cheeks are flushed, my toes are
warm,
It sounds like a big bee swarm
A great big thudding in my chest,
Cheers me up and for the rest
Of the night I snuggle quietly on my
lou
Happy to be in love with someone out
of the blue

Spirit, 11
Sick: I feel sick today
Way too sick to go out and play
With the measles, bumps, mumps and

My stomach feels nauseous
I think I am contagious
And my brain is sick in my head.

losing pies of rhubarb: after grammy set thanksgivings
item to rest in the fog of
Bellingham's early mist
strangers began showing their
faces from the water
hovering in the air across
from the gravel alley that
seperates so many backyards.

Because I had selected the
vegatation by hand I took a
personal pride in our lot's
odor that was now calling
even more faces.

at thirteen it stopped and I
couldn't wait to share with
my cousins rasberry and
salmon because we had been
all day playing in the
morning of on anothers
company.

therefore the strangers
disappeared and then we got a
glass of milk from the
refridgerator and played
catch with the ball.

wrong.

Trees love: Love grows old and torn
apart just as a tree without
leaves nor brances.When its
broke it mends together the
memories of the brokie, With
this we become stronger and
yet weak.
Like the wind you can feel
it but never see what realy
their. Some people are too
confident and others are too
shy.
As a water fall you can only
fall so far intill you hit
the bottem,and even when you
find a nother waterfall you
know that soon you will find
still water.

Lorren, 15
Dreams that Drowned: Two years sailed past
A journey that didn't last
A storm that didn't clear
An adventure defeated by fear
Risks taken, treasures found
Battles fought, dreams that
drowned
Far from land, far from home
Nowhere to go, all alone
Brutal waves consumed by rage
A lost time, a forgotten age
Sinking deeper into a dark
hole
Deteriorating memories of a
broken soul

Trapped Wingz, 19

Halloween Night: Ghosts and Goblins
On Halloween night,
Jack-o-lanterns, pumpkins
Watching your sight
Skeletons and witches
Seeing you fright.
Candy and costumes
On the Halloween night,
Black cats crossing your
street,
Orange jack-o-lanterns
watching to see.
Trick or treating - dressing
up,
Join the Hallween spirit!
Vampires that bite you come
out at night,
Bats and spiders give you a
fright
On Halloween night!

The race of life: The way that most things
happen is by decisions we
did make, leaving peace and
harmony, or destruction in
our wake.we face the same
challenge all of us, you and
I, making way for better
things, reforming in the
sky, sometimes our words
just weild our thoghts,
making us like others, but
certains individuals, like
our sisters or our brothers.
Make us start to wonder what
we will be like, though the
strongest minds are just
starting to ride a bike. Our
old things pass as we grow
older, then out of nowhere
on our shoulder sits a
companion, in disneyland,
making growth in times to
stand. Learning to walk is
only for growth, in these
times we start to loath, the
feelings that we had towards
them, in bitter times and
strife, they used to
brighten up your day, not
make a landmark in your
life. You find yourselves
exausted, makng way for new
things, the next thing you
know their a engineer
desighning wings. You get
put into the funeral home,
sittting there whilst they
are free to roam, then you
start to recollect the
feelings that you used to
get, for that baby in his
crib, a light beaming on his
face. It's not about
winning , it's competing in
the race.

Jeremy, 12
Joe Gea: Once upon a time,
The was a big fat lie,
That there was a mystical
shrine,
Which, of course, there
WASN'T.
But oh so many sailors,
Went a'sailin' out to sea,
Looking for the great, sweet
waters,
For which the king could
change a fee.
The king, he was a nasty one,
Not worthy of the crown,
His arms should shrivel up,
And his hair should not be
brown.
So many sailors risked their
lives,
And oh so many lost them,
So, so, many families,
Were not eleven, but ten.
The story I shall tell,
Is the flight of one brave
sailor,
Who dearly missed his old
country,
And always wore a bell.
He voyaged always, ALWAYS,
And he's sailing right now,
He sails on, in the sea,
And in the hearts of his
descendants and their cows.
He started as a fisherman,
And sometimes helped the farm,
But when the king heard of
his skills,
And his muscular arms,
The mean old king decided,
That the boy had to be his,
So captured and employed him,
For a pay not even slim.
The boy was put on a ship,
To test his worthy skill,
Worked for years, then was
allowed,
To visit home whenever he
will.
In a few years more,
Twas sent to find the shrine,
In a boat with no doors,
But many rusty hatches.
His ship was ill supplied,
Just a couple meager meals,
Many thought he'd starve to
death,
The king should make a deal!
Here is where what you know
ends,
Where you learn something new,
For I am soon to tell you,
What happened all the way
through.
The man soon found some
islands,
In the middle of the sea,
With many magic, native
people,
Who help without a fee.
No one else has found this
island,
For the boy was so pure of
heart,
The words cannot be canned,
And he was very smart.
This man returns to the
island,
Whenever he may need,
The people even showed him
how,
To plant the magic seed.
I have some newer news,
The man is soon to marry,
A woman of the magic sorts,
Of beauty only she can carry.
And as a happy ending to an
ever-so-true tale,
The man, he's Joe Gea,
Will soon become so magical,
It cannot be thought by you
or me.

the spirit of how all parents should be: The night was dreary, after
the sunset made it final
mark on the darkened sky,
and the last light of the
setting sun shone a
brilliant orange. The moon
was yet to come out on this
merriest of holidays, and
dear old Santa Claus climbs
down the chimney to bring
your Christmas cheer.
Its not about the
presents, the tinsel or the
tin, it's about the heart of
gold that Christmas sets
within. Sitting in front of
the fire, waiting for dawns
first light, in remembrance
of the family that came to
us, on this Christmas night.
The way that Christmas
brings you joy, it's not
about the gifts. Its about
the time with family, it
gives us all a lift. If you
realize the way your
children react, to the
presents, not to you, you
may as well take them back.
Because as I said before,
it's not about the presents
or the packages or number,
it's about the time with
family to have some fun, and
then you start to wonder.
Why is this the only time I
can spend with my kids, on
weekends I should stay at
home and skip the Sunday
football, I'd rather spend
the time alone,with my
family in the way, It
certainly makes for a lot
brigher of a day.This is the
way my life should be,
making life fun with my kin
and right now im in the
mood.to make some baskets,
not win.

memories: snow brings back fond
memories from when you were
a child, playing in the snow
as your children do
today, watching them closely
as they build a snowman
hoping the beautiful snow
will stay. It makes the house
feel so warm and steaming on
the stove hot chocolate for
the grateful artists wrapped
in blankets wove. snowballs
skimming on the window as
the lights shimmer on the
white winter blanket. The
snow always brings a present,
joy from your childhood's
first snow. It comes around
only or twice a year, that is
why they savored the
moment. The truth is grown-ups
always have an inner
child stored up for this
particular season. The joy
upon thier faces reflects
back on being a child,and
you recognise that inner
feeling of being one.

Baseball: It's a pop-fly! You sprint
for the ball. You slide and
catch it with your glove.
When you dived, you got
stains all over your
uniform.
You hear someone
screaming, "Yeah!" It's your
coach.
Next batter: He looks at his
coach, he puts up his bat.
The pitch.he slams the ball.
He runs, he goes to home, he
slides, he made it to the
base.
You're batting so you don't
need a glove.
They get ready to pitch, I
get my bat.
Here comes the ball; it's
like a cheetah ball.
I hit it and run to the base.
Watching to see what to do
from the coach.
Next batter: He swings, it
gets hit, they hold up their
gloves.
It misses; we run, we score,
when running to the dugout,
we dust off our uniforms.
