Elementary Student Poems

Inspired by Carl Sandburg and our "Ecotone Photography Adventure":

Untitled by K


A young female dear chews the long grass intently--her eyes alert for any predators on the prowl. Her children play off in the woods galloping freely. Her breath is calm like a warm summer breeze. The crunch of her hooves on the fallen leaves. She is quiet and peaceful.  

SNAG by M.S

Birds peep.  Animals squeak and it is paradise.  My dead branches may hold nests with peeping chicks waiting for their mother to bring bugs.  I’m part of nature.

The Waves Rock by M.D

A fallen log sits in the river
with waves rushing
against
            and back
against
            and back.

Long branches of cedar
            hang down from the branch above.
The rocks beneath are like filters of the earth.
They filter the water, no matter how dirty it gets,
and the waves go again:
            against
                        and back
            against
                        and back.
