WINTER TIME IN THE CITY
By Cali
I always like winter best
You can eat delicious winter chili
From your boiling kitchen stove
And pancakes with extra chocolate chips
And burgers with ketchup
And french fries

And perogis

And listen to the interesting sounds of snow crunching
under your feet on the icy streets of New York City
And go to Boris and Horton with my dog named Maria
And go on a brisk, 10-minute walk
And be pulled on my sled by my Dad on the slick city
streets all the time when it’s frosty outside
Not only in the winter, but also on the waves when the
Ice melts
And Woosh away.

Winter With The Jenkins Clan
By Mia
Uncles, aunts, cousins, fam,
Dogs, cats and fish in a frozen pond
Walk, walk, don’t slip
Mom’s done it twice and Anne Marie thrice
Walking in the woods around the court of tennis
VROOM goes the hedge trimmer
Tweet go the birds
Run, run, when the ice has melt,
Hear the whistling song of the wind
and the beat of the rustling leaves
Come, come, into the place under the juniper
No one will see us there
Flip, flip, through the pages of that massive cookbook,
Save the page, don’t forget it
Make it, bake it, taste
A homemade cardboard house
A present for the pets
Anne Marie always in the kitchen
Doing all she can to quench our hunger
Rob in his cozy office
Grading his papers so he can hang
Nate at the piano playing a song
That fills the house
Max in the living room
Hand rolling his own pasta originating in Abruzzo
Shmi in a sunny corner with her matted fur
Listing off her hatred of everyone
The barking Moz in the living room
Ripping up a toy
And me smackdab in the middle
With love in my heart and no hatred,
not even a little
Belize
By Milo
You can eat rice, pasta, ice cream, bread and a lot more bread.
In Belize.
I can hear birds singing a tune.
When I am in the pool relaxing.
Or I am playing with my brother in
The pool.
And go to a waterfall with my family.
And go sweatily and be tired.
While hiking.
And then…
Swim around near the waterfall.
Jump off rocks into
Water.
I have a lot of FUN!
Jumping off the rocks
Fighting the current that the waterfalls brings.
When it is light out.
