I see with my artist’s eyes a rainbow in the sky. It has lots of color: Blue, purple, pink, orange, red, white, and green. I am at the beach. At first, the water is cold. Then the water turns hot. My mom gets into the water. It’s cold for her, and then it’s hot. Then, [...]
I climb up the mountain all the time. I see all the clouds, and I peek at the rain. Where it snows every day, untamed and unpredicted. I want to jump down this mountain with glee, visit a place I could always be, and maybe glide down a hillside, to where wild things play and [...]
I see the golden sun Rising upon me Like a star in the black Shadows of night, Shining on the palace of Gold and happiness. I see you, sun. I see a beautiful woman With her gold hair shining, Yellow skin and golden eyes Of my yellow world. Golden fruits of yellow. I see and [...]
I am from the pink ribbons, the hot delicious coffee. I am from the back deck. I am from the purple roses, the beautiful blue lake. I am from the traditional everyday home-cooked meals and the stubbornness that runs in my blood. My parents are the first daughter and the last son So I am [...]
I would put into the box friendship bracelets, red roses, a bit of my friend’s hair. I would also put my favorite pictures, and sand from the beach in Mexico. I would put all that in a shiny gold box with shooting stars on it. I would also put my doll that I got for [...]
The buds of pansies blossom in the muddy field on a spring mountain, as a butterfly arcs over a blossoming rainbow The spring breeze picks up dark clouds roll in A fawn runs for cover A thin mist begins to rise Water beats down on the forest. by Grace, 4th grade This poem is featured [...]
One must have the mind of a sandcastle by a blue sea on the rough sand. A child is playing on the sand. You might find something strange in the sand. Incredible. The thing could be a shark. Most of all, sharks need water to breathe. It’s funny to be a castle in the sand [...]
Put in different colors of the city. Bring in all of the animals of Houston including mosquitoes and fish. Put down the rocks for the way you walk. Carry in all the water. Praise the sun so it can shine. Place the water spiders on the water. Plant the trees, then put the leaves on [...]
I didn’t always live in the house I do now. I used to live in a smaller, cozier, white house with just my mom and dad and me. Then, when we figured out that we needed a bigger house, it was time to move. Now our house is as big as an old movie theater. [...]
Un Breve Paseo a Discovery Green El cielo era azul como un lago. La tierra era negra como una cueva, y el hielo era blanco como una ventana. Sí, había hielo, y yo estaba patinando en Discovery Green. El sol brillaba como fuego. Yo pensé que no podía patinar, entonces me agarré del muro. ¡Shwoosh! [...]
I remember reading inside the cool living room on a hot summer day, With my mom cutting fresh lettuce for dinner tonight, With my grandmother humming an old song like a radio. I remember reading inside the cool living room on a hot summer day, With hundreds and hundreds of feet of damp grass in [...]
My memory is when I moved to Texas from England. I remember that we were in the airport and my mom, dad, and my sister started crying because they didn’t want to leave. They were all older than me and had more to say goodbye to than me. We moved because my dad got a [...]

I’m from the smell of strawberry muffins and blueberry waffles. I’m from the sound of the blue waves, from missing my cousin’s voice. I’m from laughter and every time we chased him around. I’m from the sweet sunshine that shines so bright. I’m from Christmas and nights when we just have fun. By Bria, 4th [...]
Nobody disturbs a sleeping road at midnight. Nobody disturbs the jewels of the sleeping sky at midnight. When the sky turns black, everything begins to sleep until the sky spins red. Everything is quiet and peaceful everything is gone, only peace and quiet are still there until the sky turns red. That’s midnight. By Hyunnsun, [...]
