Stars are diamonds
shining across the
veil of blue sky.
Streaming across 
the sky, at times 
covering the moon, 
like comets wagging
their tails behind them !!!

The sea is a place where
the peaceful waves flow by.

It is a place where fishes 
enjoy their lives.

But be careful,
it is also the place 
where mariners sail 
their lives across.

It can be very 
dangerous even 
though it looks 
very peaceful !!!

I'd like to be a butterfly flying up
I might get trapped in a cup
and killed by someone
eating a bun.

I wrote this poem in an English class at school and it had to be about the refugees. 

I'm sad, I'm lonely, I don't know what to do.
I'm confused and frightened,
Bombs are falling, rifles are shooting,
I walk outside to see people bleeding
My home's gone
My family's disappeared
I got put on a bus to go to Australia 
There are people crying, people dying
Although you don't know but it really shows
We're in Australia now without a home
Unable to contact the family
Crying day and night
Unable to find out if our family is all right
We hope one day we'll go back to see our family
To build a house for you and me.

friends are friends
but best friends are better
like you and me will be best friends forever.

nothing will split us apart
we will keep on riding in our special cart
over humps and bumps and pot holes
but we will always find our way
best friends forever and ever

White crystals fall gracefully to the ground
Buds are blooming all around 
Warm sun rays beam upon me
As the crisp, cool air tickles my nose
I realize which season i love most
All of them.

Aisha is my name, 
to be a doctor is my aim. 
I am tall 
and like to play with dolls. 
My hobby is to read books, 
but not by their looks. 
I like to be clean, 
but I hate to eat beans.

Animals are very sweet
Not one doesn't like to eat
I love animals Oh yes I do !
Mum loves them all too.
Almost every animal loves to run
Loving animals is lots of fun
So I hope you love animals along with me.

Away in my garden of lovely dreams,
I once strayed into,
Finding myself among lillies so red,
Roses and scarlet hips blushing with love,
And leaves so very green showing peace,
That wonderful sight was ready to make any mortal feel at ease.

I saw butterflies of rainbow,
Which made me forget all my sorrows,
As once I strayed into my garden
Blossoming...with... lovely dreams

Wish I were free,
Wish I were a moor-bird,
Flying in the barren moor without a tree, 
In an un-imaginable glee.

Wish I were a daisy,
Delicate and pretty,
With a head very lacy.

Wish I were a butterfly,
Spreading my wings vast,
Looking at the world below long-last,
Thinking of its past.

Wishes are all very good; not at all few,
Alas! I wish they were... true.

Dream on dreamer,
close your eyes,
said into the dark, cold night,
take my hand,
and hold on tight,
Fairy Dreamer, you're all right.

The harsh words spoken,
they must be broken,
and fairy dreamer,
sweet fairy dreamer, 
we still must be alive
we must always fight to strive.

And the darkness that will bound us,
and eventually surround us,
will always, always, never be there.

Sadness, anger, and fear,
crested upon my fairy dear,
created once again a strain,
pouring down like acid rain,

The sacred tune already sung,
so young,
so young fairy dreamer,
and together, with our hands held,
we can scare the darkness away.

Written with a pen,
Sealed with a kiss,
If you are my friend,
please answer this,

Are we friends?
Or are we not?
You told me once,
But I forgot,

Of all the friends,
I've ever met,
You're the one,
I won't forget,

So tell me now,
And tell me true,
So I can say,
I'm here for you

And if I die,
Before you do,
I'll go to Heaven,
And wait for you,

I'll give the Angels,
Back their wings,
And risk the loss,
of everything,
Just to prove,
My friendship is true...
    To have a friend like you

When I was seven years old I got a drawing pin stuck in me. 
I screamed and screamed till I calmed down.My mum put
a plaster on and it was fine till nine .   When I went to bed 
it started to hurt.But I soon calmed down and went to sleep.
I had forgot all about it in the morning and it had stopped
hurting.

Spiders Spiders all around me.
If I take one step it will
crawl on me.
They are on the streets and on the
steps.
But one thing
they are a
little cute.
They might
go up your
pants but they're
still very, very cute.

There once was two baboons
Who knew how to swim
They knew how to do everything
Except for eating peach.
Their favorite food and they don't know
How to eat it right. 
Some people think that those baboons
Were smarter than the world. 
But since they saw they could not eat
They knew they could not talk.
But those baboons have never been seen.

If the world was crazy, you know what I'd eat?
A large cup of pasta and maybe a sheet,
A crunchy chip, and then I might try,
Some bicycle pie or an American guy,
A nice paper gummy, and an ice ghost,
A notebook salad and some peacock toast,
That's what I'd eat if the world were crazy.

If the world was crazy, you know what I'd do?
Dig in the water and swim in dirt ewe,
You'd swim down the ocean and swim down the road,
Some dogs and cats might be wild and your pets will be toads,
In the winter it would be hot and the summer it would be hazy,
That's what I'd do if the world was crazy.

If the world was crazy, you know what I'd wear?
A dress made of pork roast, medium wear,
A necklace of lemon drops, some earrings of ice,
I'd go walking on a sidewalk of rice,
Around my wrist would be a chain of daises,
And I would be Queen, if the world was crazy.

There once was a lizard
Who was most like a wizard
And has two wings
Which likes to sing
His favorite word is quizzard..

There once was a green big frog
That is most like a hog
Who has a long tongue
And he's usually hung
And he barks like a real big dog.

Their once lived a green and blue turtle
And his favorite thing to do is a hurdle
And he likes to fly
Up to the sky
And he also likes to do curdles.

I like going to school
Being very cool.
I like to eat gruel 
In a pool.
I like my teacher very much
Although she gives us muck.
When that last bell rings
I start thinking about other things.

There's a sun like an egg
There's a cloud like a ferry floss
There's a moon like a banana
And the sky like the sea
There's lots of things in the sky
That's why the sky is beautiful.....

I like the pretty flowers
The flowers like the showers
When someone steps on the flowers
The flower must tell the mean mother
A person who loves a flower very much
The flower would be happy a whole bunch.

Oh 3rd Grade oh 3rd Grade
oh how I loved it in 3rd Grade!
With so much fun and Loving songs,
oh how much I loved it in 3rd grade!

With multiplication and division
with P.E on the run! We said jokes 
laughed and made arts and crafts!
oh how I loved it in 3rd grade!

With all my friends I loved 
so much it was really
hard to say good-bye
with tears in my eyes and a wink 
and said good-bye to all my friends!

So it is really hard to 
say good-bye to all your wonderful
Friends!

Friends Forever 3rd Grade friends from 
Mrs. Holmes' class!

To all my good friends!

It would be so cool if I could see my friends every day!
We could go outside and run away!
Kick the ball,
Sing some songs
and call some people on the way!

We could play video games on the computer
have a little fun on my brother's scooter!
Even go out to eat at hooters!

We could e-mail friends.
Have time to spend
Like this day will never end!
But then again I have to say it's getting pretty late.
So I say good-bye and have a good time
for this day has come to an end.

What is Frustration?
        a volcano ready to blow 
        a zit beginning to pop
        a face that is beat red
        a crash of thunder 
        the breaking of a twig
        a rain cloud starting to pour
        broken glass on the floor
        tangled in a string of thread
        losing your favorite toy
        a fight with your parents
        a cold, foggy day
        explosion of a light bulb
That is frustration!

Oh butterfly, my butterfly.
With her marvelous wings, full of smiling colors
she throws away the sadness
and all the darkness inside the people.

My butterfly waggles around the flowers 
that do not have any colors
and with her happiness
she paints those flowers with her magical brushes.

When people is fighting
she uses her power of love,
color and freshness
She helps making them friends.

Outside the breeze blows,
for April is here
you sit upon your door step
and think upon the weather
how wonderful it could be..
to be a beautiful kite in the sky.. 
so all people could see,
the wonderful kite in the sky
is just like you and me!

Earth is called the blue planet
Because from space it looks blue.

Earth also has lots of beautiful landscapes
From deserts to forests and open spaces.

Big oceans surround the continents
That's why the color blue is eminent.

I like to live in my blue planet
Because there's no life in other planets.
