Poem

Grade 7
As I look out the window, in early morning,
I spy many birds, some just born,
They come in many colors and sizes,
Some rather ugly, some may win prizes,
One of the prettiest that I have seen,
Is a Goldfinch with a golden sheen
The wings and the tail are as black as coal,
The rest is gold, a friendly soul,
When perched on a feeder, it eats all day,
When perched on a limb, it sings away,
What a dreadful world this would be,
If not a single bird or Goldfinch we'd see,
The world would be quiet all day long,
As it would be void of any bird or song,
There's nothing nicer in this world to me,
As to spy a spot of gold, and find a Goldfinch in my tree,
Then to hear it sing, loud and long,
And know it will come back all Summer long.

Birds, birds, have you heard?

Birds, birds,
Have you heard?
Yellow, red, blue,
Do you get the clue?
Big, small, thin, fat,
Some get eat'n by a cat!
Yummy, yummy,
In their tummy.
Seeds, seeds,
Who leads?
Blue sky
Want to fly?
Babies, babies, want to eat
Waiting for something sweet.
Worms, worms, are the best,
They take them back to the nest.
Bye, Bye, in the winter,
Do you mind if I go with her?

Looking At Ice Blossoms Through a Classroom Window
By the Elwood 4th Grade Class
Ms. Blessing's class
Elwood Public School
Elwood, NE
Ice Blossoms swaying in the trees,
Twinkle in the freezing breeze.
It is a fine, ice prism day.
The sky chandeliers make it that way.
Snow crystals are fallen on the grass,
Sparkling and winking as we pass.
