looking down at

us in our cars

thinking about

what it must be like

to be human

and wait for a

traffic light to

turn red,

green, red.

Once there were dinosaurs grabbing hot rod cars with their teeth. Their teeth were yellow and sharp.

There was a storm and some wind.  Everyone fell in the water.  They all drowned except for one who swam to the land.  It was a dinosaur robot.

Inside the robot there was a guy.  The robot was swinging its tail.  The dinosaur robot broke into little pieces, and the guy fell out.  He was sad.  He fell in the water, and a shark swallowed him.

The End.

The howl of a wolf

sounds bitter

The wolf smells smoky

He laps water

from the glistening lake

The wolf is strong

If anyone gets near him

he will snap and growl

because the feelings

of a wolf are

cold.

My horse Silver visits me

every night.  We go riding

way above the clouds.

We gallop through fields of lavender

and go into a pasture where all the

horses come up to Silver and me.

We walk on paths where

trees have chocolate on them.

Then he takes me home.

I get in bed and wait

for the next time to come.

I am a mouse,

a crook indeed;

my gray clothes match the shadows

in the night.

When I attack there’s no stopping me

until the sun rises

again.

Just one

precious jewel

falls from your plate

and I’m there, just as the last light

of your house goes off.

Then I snatch

the treasure and bring it to my palace,

hidden in the wooden walls.

There, my ferocious

teeth rip and tear the treasure

so I can taste its delicious taste

because I’m the crook

of the night.
