meet the morning sun, but never in a rush.

away from computers, loafing and misdeeds.

Fluffy clouds hang free above the trees,

while the wind blows gentle into breeze.

A hut among the trees, my home,

I shall never want and feel alone.

Jamiela Marie Almachar, 8

A world of a kind: three trees, three birds, three kids,

from the bigger world, peace and freedom never at siege.

Fantasy land, romanticism its uniqueness;

somewhere carved out of our loneliness.

Blue pond, reflection of a clear sky and peace around,

Field scorched in hot dry summer,

takes a break with the first shower.

Rebirth comes in many ways, yet all the same;

life coming back is our Creator’s lovely game.

Vitrish Anne Arguelles, 6

Like a  jIgsaw puzzle, the cracks of the soil mend with rain,

save the wastelands, often cursed, yet life’s last domain.

Life peeping through, shy and afraid;

says the sun, “Get up and be brave.”

After the first rain in May,

creep the lowly algae;

living things soon aplenty

arrive here and stay.

Ahoy, there! Keep off the rocky shore!

Join the race in the deep blue azure.

Hurry up for home before high waves form.

even the bold ones crying for plea.

romantic, but the danger is another story.

Sea gypsies for want of settling down,

travel on boats to nowhere bound.

Wind blowing hard like giant arms at sea,

warns of misery and death without mercy.

Christian Delle Garcia, 13

If all fruits were yellow, orange, and red,

I would pick the green for ripening;

If all fruits come in the summer season

I would sorely miss those in spring.

Franceska Billedo, 10

Coy and shy fuits may appear to some one,

wait until they are ripened by the sun.

  

Frea Billedo, 12

A basket full of fruits and flowers,

the best the fairest maid showers.

Fruits are full of energy,

stored by the sun and Thee.

if we review our ecology.

Move over fancy culinary;

give way to Ceres’ bounty.

Where goddess Ceres descends,

Epicurus joins the feast,

and man contends -

else the banquet be missed. ~
