Life of the Man
As the wind does blow Across the trees, I see the Buds blooming in May
I walk across sand
And find myself blistering
In the hot, hot heat
Falling to the ground, I watch a leaf settle down
In a bed of brown.
It’s cold—and I wait
For someone to shelter me
And take me from here.
I hear crackling
Crunch, of today’s new found day
And know it won’t last
So I will leave it
At bay; and hope for the best
This bitter new day

The beaches waves hit
Sounding of flooding water
Soothes aches all over
-Tiffany, age 13, L.A.
Silence around us
Our watchful eyes hear the world
Hands do the talking
-Jennifer, Virginia
To be a leader,
One must first dream then act out, fulfillment is yours.
-Mrs. C Troop 280, St. Petersburg, Florida
The wind is blowing
It is blowing very hard
I don't like the wind.
-Amanda, Alabama
I love Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh loves to eat honey
Bees chase Winnie the Pooh.
The flowers
Reached the sky
As on the grass I lie
A broken tree cut
Brings no shade to the weary
Then what good is it?
-VP Singh, New Delhi, India
Rain falls, seeds sprout
Continues life from something
Small but strong, it grows.
-Sarah, age 14 Cape Cod, MA
Hockey Haiku
Gracefully slither
He sneaks to the net untouched
With one swing he scores.
Slash, push, crush, swipe, skate
Big time effort for four hours
Game ends tied, zero-zero
Up on the tundra
You have one of two choices
Hockey or ...ummm...uhhh.....
-Mike A. Crookston, MN (the tundra)
The winter is over
Spring is here hurray good cheer!
I am glad it's here!
-Irven, age 10, Georgia
I like spring water
It makes me feel good inside
It takes my breath away.
