Hunter named Paul
By: M.P.V., age 11

Who was blind, and kept on running into a wall

If it were me, I wouldn't feel good at all.

Matt And The Flat Hat

Once there was a boy named Matt
who had a very flat hat.

SPLAT!
Matt grabbed his flat hat,
his bat and his cat
They all went out to play a game of skat
Fear and the water
By: Elena, age 10
Into the water, out of sight. Tonights the night, the only fright.
Nothing just quite right.
A man, not acting nice.
A women, not acting at least twice.
I sat at the window on this night, holding the blankets oh so tight.
Rain falls down, mist holds onto the pane. No. I feel pain. I dont know what kind, this I must find.
I close my eyes, holding my hands so dear. What is this i fear?
Old Man Jev
By: Elena, age 10
Old man Jev was in love. In love with her, the one above. He believed her to be from the Heavens. He believed her to be a saint. Young Alita, her hair so straight.
Days pass and the flowers bloom. Around her, he'd say. Around her. Then he would cast showers of notes. Notes of hopeful dreams and doubtful cries. Young Alita had no eyes. She had no eyes that intended on loving a old man like he loved a young woman. The young woman was her.
The years went by and Old Jev lived lonely and ready to die. Sickness filled the air so deep, It seeked to seep into His sweet. Old Jev was in love. In love with her, the one above. He believed her to be from the Heavens. He believed her to be a saint. Young Alita, her hair so straight. He could not let her let her fall. Through the clouds. Through all. And so, Old Jev felt strong and pushed himself to it's deathly prong. Take me, he'd say. Take Me.
