I sit beneath the tall, shady tree One hot summer day. I read, and I read, Treasuring this moment, This day. Just my book and me. I am in my own world, The scene beside me is not there. Neither am I. I am a knight Fighting a dragon. I am a princess, Letting down my hair. I am a troll, Eating a sheep. Though I myself am soon fast asleep. Brooke Callan, 10Deerfield, IL

Winds are running around Telling everyone the good news, “Spring is coming!” “Spring is coming!” The little delphinium Looking around Looking for spring. She did not know that She herself is the spring. Grace Zhuang, 6Vienna, VA
