The Beginning
By Elizabeth Richards
Grade 8 Charlotte Central
Ms. McClaskey-teacher

Fading away
Over the tree tops
The feeling of ending,
Only to start again
When morning comes.
The beginning of a new day,
With the rising of the sun.

The Poetry of Our Lives

Submitted by thesixthkid on November 15, 2008 - 12:06.

Using the feelings,
knowing all the words,
thinking the thoughts,
this is the poetry of our lives.

Little moments
make a memory,
keeping the living in life.

THE CLOUDS

soaring
flying through the air
the clouds
surrounding you
you see
the clouds
like castles
you go through
the clouds
gliding smoothly
you love
the clouds
throbbing
jolting
through the clouds
the blue
of the sky
the clouds
are left behind
