Spring 2011


The calm trees swaying The golden grass follows


The soft fuzzies hit the ground


Ripples of soft cool water make me think Why so lonely?


The glistening water Felt a hit


From a rock


Catapulted by me Why so lonely?


The dim sun has come


The tree tops have shadows The forest has grown dark Frowning at me Why so lonely?


The trail takes me home With the lonely woods Silent Silent Silent


Nate Henner Grade 6


Flimsy but crunchy Twisty but still


The veins of life Lets me know A leaf is there


On a blustery day On a cold night


The leaf sits there


With fear and fright Hoping it doesn’t fall Through the night Looking far Looking near


Watching the world change Hooked on with its friends Waiting for fall


Hoping they don’t fall When fall comes Then comes wind


Knocking them off the trees Sharing a life each year


Of winds and rain that came But it’s done and over
