Fall is in the Air

Roses are red, violets are blue,
Leaves are yellow, orange, and
every greenish hue.
Trees are turning all dull and bare.
Leaves falling to the ground each
and every day,
Horses running through the leaves
neigh.
Autumn is happening everywhere.
This poem is an AA B CC B
pattern.

Some people say gymnastics looks "easy"
And if it was, it would be called football.
You watch us flip and fall.
We’ll spend all day in the gym learning new
skills.
We fall on our faces and get back up.
We still try again and again.
We all try to:
fight, stick, and land.
We work hard all day.
“Be tight!” is what we’re told.
But why all the struggles?
Because we are learning something new.
Making progress and moving up.
And we love it.

Trick -or -Treat
By Grant Klasing, Mary Laws,
and Lauren Buchanan
It’s Halloween, Trick-or-Treat,
If you give me a Skittle,
I’ll give you a riddle.
It’s Halloween, Trick-or-Treat,
I’ll go home and eat peanut
brittle,
The full moon creeps up little-by-
little.
It’s Halloween, Trick-or-Treat,
Thanks for the Skittle, now here
is a riddle….
Why didn’t the monster eat the
crazy person?
He was allergic to nuts.
