Night Time Feelings
by Hannah Riley
Crickets chirp their song
sandhill cranes say good night
the owl says who who
The wind in the trees
It tickels me so to feel,
the breeze on my skin
Moonlight shimmers bright
on a quite peacefull night
the stars shine ablaze
Congratulations!

An early Adventure
4 am, time to awake!
Mom’s still asleep, I give her a shake.
She gets out of bed with a yawn and a sigh,
She looks out the window and sees the dark sky.
She perks up and says, "I forgot!"
She shakes up my dad and he awakes with a "What?"
I say, "Wake up, it’s time to go!"
He hops out of bed, and what do you know?
He’s already dressed with his hair combed and all,
He looks at me, and stands up tall.
I rush to my room, and slip on a dress,
But then I realize, my hair’s all a mess!
I brush and brush,
And floss in a rush.
My sister walks in,
I ask, " Where have you been?"
She’s wearing her clothes, and her hair is all done.
It looks so perfect when it’s up in a bun.
She finally answers, "I got ready before."
Now we were all done, so we headed out the door.
Mom and Dad carried all luggage to the car,
We load up on snacks, ‘cause the rides very far.
Three hours later, we were at the airport,
I gazed at the airplanes and jets of all sort.
Now it was seven, and as we checked in,
We watched activity start to begin.
People working and walking too,
Also waiting for planes, like we were to do.
Finally at eight, our plane had arrived!
We all took our seats in row C 35.
The pilot announced, "We’re ready to go!"
I listened to the engine start with a mighty blow.
Finally it happened, we were up in the sky!
The plane turned and twisted as it started to fly.
The ride was amazing, it went really great!
We arrived at our destination, not a second late.

A Tropical Wonder
The tropical waters, the waves blue and bright,
I hear some splashing and look too my right.
A stingrays what I see!
Oh jolly, oh gee!
I took out my camera, who was waiting for me,
To take pictures of animals, trees, and the sea.
I snapped up a photo, two, three, four!
Then went to the hotel to go take some more.
Later we swam in the great ocean blue,
Who seems like she is just calling to you.
I saw some dolphins, skipping along,
They made swift splashes that sang me a song.
We hop on a boat that belongs to our friends,
We want to go sailing before the day ends.
We cruise on the ocean, then enter the bay,
I thought I wouldn’t like it, but I have to say,
It was calm and I enjoyed the ride,
I loved seeing animals and changes in tide.
Everything was great,
Our hotel was not to ornate,
The temperature was fine,
The highest it reached was a nice 79.
The water was salty, but cool and clear,
I just can’t wait to come back next year.
On the very last day,
Of the weekend-long stay,
We went to the board walk,
To ride rides, play games, shop, and just talk.
The warm sunny day,
Later turned gray.
We headed to the game room,
Where all the fun resumed.
We bought a few tokens and won lots of games,
We then headed to the counter where our prizes were claimed.
Our vacation was great, but didn’t last a while,
Before I knew it, I was going home with a SMILE!

The Strawberry
I'm a strawberry as plump as can be
I come from florida weathers and grow in a tree
I'm going to colder states up in the north
but I really enjoy Florida's sweet warmth
If I were not me I would become a house
and comfort a whole family as snug as a mouse
others think I'm a top, but I'm simply a berry
a simple strawberry
Inside of me I'm only juice but I feel more than that
I feel more than a simple old splat
I want a home and someone to love me
and I'll love them like a mommy and baby
and maybe just maybe they will love me too.

Reading Books
Reading a book is a very
Exciting thing for you to do.
Adventures await you,
Daring you to read on.
Inside your imagination,
Nothing is cooler then
Going on a Quest or journey.
Boring books don't exsist,
Only in you dreams. So
Open a book and
Keep the magic inside you.
So much to learn and discover when you are reading books.

Night time feelings
Crickets chirp their song
sandhill cranes say good night
the owl says who who
The wind in the trees
It tickels me so to feel,
the breeze on my skin
Moonlight shimmers bright
on a quite peacefull night
the stars shine ablaze

READING!
Reading makes the world go around.
Endings, beginnings, and middles are what some stories are made of.
Also facts and opinions.
DING!
Some books give you ideas.
I personally like the books with facts.
Now and forever, I shall read!
Good book, plus comfy chair plus a best friend equals infinite joy!
