Things I Love About You

Pine trees

Maple trees

Birch trees

(and all the other ones,

too)

Summer river water

Winter lake ice

(and everything in between,

too)

Light flurries

Hard snow storms

Icicles

(and everything cold,

too)

Dark green

Deep blue

Sparkling clear

Bright red

(and every color you have,

too)

Whistling wind

Chirping birds

Roaring rivers

(and the other sounds,

too)

Sunshine in the morning

Night's blanket at evening

(and the rest of the day,

too)

I love you

for your

sunsets

rough tree bark

ugly flowers

beautiful bugs

and everything

everything

everything

else.

    The Third Grader

    Raincoat like the petals of a sunflower hangs to her knees

    Glittery rainbow headband

    That only keeps half her hair back

    Shiny pink nails

    Strawberry boots

    Shy smile that makes you feel lucky you got to see it

    They knew what could be

    The little girl sat in her swing

    blond curls the way they are before

    you grow up the everywhere I don't care

    it looks like my hair was woven from sunlight

    a throne for a flower crown.
