Pandora

by Aanya M aged 10

Aphrodite gave her beauty
Athena gave her the ability to do her duty
Hephaestus made her smart and witty
Hermes gave her curiosity
Apollo made her sing beautifully
Her gifts were done finally
She married Epithemus when she went down to Earth
Zeus gave a box with trust
He said, Don’t open it or you’ll be cursed
Though her father made her witty
Hermes had given curiosity
Her curiosity made her open the box
She released all the world’s miseries by turning a lock
Inside a box she heard a sound
Inside the box she found
Only hope was left inside
Hope told her to try and try

Quack

When I was two,
I had a friend,
who always met me at the river’s end.
Quack quack!
Her yellow feathers brightened my days,
they were like the sun’s rays. Quack Quack!
Her feathers soon changed to a pretty white.
They were beautiful and bright.
Quack quack!
She has little orange and yellow webbed feet, that waddled all the way down the street.
Quack quack!
She’d come to the porch to share a snack, and she’d always give a big
Quack, quack!

When sunrise begins the day
All of the animals
Come out to play

Mangoes are ripe
Flowers are blooming
All of the foxes are grooming

When the day finally
Comes to an end
All of the night animals
Come out again

When the First Rains Fall

The sky was heavy, waiting to break, a hush spread wide across the lake. Leaves held their breath, the earth stood still, as clouds rolled down the silent hill.

Then came a whisper, soft and clear, a silver drop that drew us near. It kissed the dust, it cooled the ground, and joy in every heart was found.

Children ran with arms held high, chasing laughter beneath the sky. The streets awoke, the trees all swayed, The world was new, the heat decayed.

The scent of soil, so rich, so sweet, turned every moment into a treat. The thirsty roots began to sing, welcoming back the gift of spring.

Oh, first rains, gentle, kind, and true, you paint the earth in shades of blue. You teach us hope, you teach us cheer, a promise kept, year after year.

Our Beautiful Earth

The Earth is round,
How did it get found?
It bulges at the center,
Could the Sun be its mentor?
Filled with greenery,
And unimaginable scenery,
The trees whisper,
With their leaves rustling,
Our beautiful Earth!

My Bestfriend

I steal her food,
She helps me when I’m in a bad mood,
She’s really pretty,
Yet, she’s really witty,
She stands up for me,
And she never lets me be,
We talk tooo much,
At school, books we don’t touch,
And this person is known as
My best friend!

I like Bananas
and I’m from Montana
and my name’s Hannah
My automobiliana
are getting broken
I was awoken
and I was mad
then I felt bad
I guess I was kinda glad
that the doctor was around
but then I drowned
and Hannah Montana frowned

Praise the soldiers,
On the 11th of the 11th,
People crying,
People dying,
Years of soldiers dying.

Corn on the cob on a great sunny day
Jump in the lake
Hurray hurray
Have an ice cream or some peach cobbler
And savor the day that’s way longer!
