Spring 2011


The shark tooth From a shark


Washed up on the shores Of an ocean On the beach In Florida


It reminds me of a shark


In a battle against another shark Going on and on non-stop The shark tooth is black And a little chipped with broken off pieces


Ryan VanDemortel Grade 6


An old dead tree Sprawled out on the ground


Leaning over a dried up creek A green chair


Hidden by a thick bush An old TV


Never to turn on again The sun peeking


Through the branches The soft


Afternoon glow


That warms my face The distant car, Driving by The gentle Rustling


Of the leaves The sweet tune


Of the birds singing


And the quiet groaning Of the dead tree


Am I truly alone here?
