  Oh, flowers, smelling like nothing else Your colors shining in the sun Sitting on the ground and grass and swishing in the trees Your petals blowing everywhere So very beautiful Red or green or yellow and all the other colors Oh, flowers, I’m happy to be seeing you every day Irene Surprenant, 8Santa Clara, CA Pearl Lee, 10Greenwich, CT

  I am a wave I splash on soft shore I feel the yellow sand Fishes gliding in me All windy days I am so big Sometimes So big Called A tsunami On sunny days I am so small Sometimes not even there Birds chirping above me I am salty The sky above me making me blue Without it, I’d be clear People throwing trash in me I hope it would stop soon Because of the fishes eating it dying I can’t feel so many tiny scaly bodies rubbing against me anymore But then more fish get born I feel them once again I am so happy Irene Surprenant, 8Santa Clara, CA
