I am keeping a wish for the dream maker to hear.
Speak softly and speak kindly and he will grant your request.
I have a special wish; he may think it is the best.
I am waiting for the star to glow in the sky.
There it is!
"Dream maker, please don't let my grandpa die."
-Sarah
Here in the valley between two high mountains
lies a monster sleeping for 100 years.
A plane flies above.
The monster stirs.
Mountains rumble! Crash! Collapse!
A pebble hits the monster in his eye.
And he falls back asleep.

Something is red, Something is blue.
Something smells like a monkey.
I think it is you.

Dolls and kitties; ribbons and lace.
Pink and purple make a pretty face.
Boxes of chocolate, and bottles of perfume
Girls and ladies like flowers in bloom.
Girls and ladies wait with an empty vase.
-Sarah
Swords clash and tempers fume.
Armour is brandished and flutes are in tune.
The war drum beats and the battle cries call.
Two sides of the story are both about to fall.
War is a game that nobody will win.
Everyone will hurt, and bleed in the end.
-Andrew
I am five and you are too.
When we grow up we will be twenty-two.
Then we will get married and buy our own shoes.
And instead of cartoons, we will watch the news.
-Simon

Wow, those are amazing! How'd they all get into poetry?
Hi. I liked reading your poems. I thought the one where you say "I am five and so are you" is the silliest (in a good way!). Thank you for showing your poems. Danielle (Kathleen's daughter)
