Candy Halloween
By Alexis K.

Pumpkins plunging into water
To get clean
Jelly Beans jumping into my mouth
Candy corn being stolen
By children anxious to try it
Salley sucker sucking and slurping up
All of her candy in her candy bowl
In acorn alley candy corn crashes
To the ground from the trees
My candy pile is as humungous
As a speck of dust
Kids moaning and groaning
To put on their spooky clothes
It seems fun when I notice
I am looking at a poem that I made
About Halloween
And from Halloween

The Torture of All Kids
By Roxane B.

Sinking into my mind,
killing me slowly.
It’s seeping through me
like water seeping through a crack.
Very deadly,
like a gun in a war.
Torturing us kids so badly,
even worse than being whipped.
Your eyes start to close.
You struggle to keep them open.

Making you get in trouble

if you don’t do it.
You look out the window.
You wish to be free.
But homework is holding you back.
That dreaded thing called homework

My Pet Monster
By Lauren G.

I have a pet monster.  I named her Gorgle.  She is purple on her enormous belly and has yellow spots on her finned back.  She has two arms, one longer than the other, with three fingers on each hand.  A long toe pokes out from her forehead for scratching the top of her flat, square shaped head.  My mom really doesn’t like her, even though she’s only 3 feet tall.  But who cares?  The best part is that she can fly, so that I can fly her to school.

Teachers can’t see Gorgle because she can turn invisible.  I tie her to a tree like a dog so she can’t fly away while I’m in class. 

I have a bunk bed so Gorgle sleeps on the top, but the worst thing is when she sleeps.  She snores and breathes out fire!  The fire is red, orange, and yellow, and it’s hot!  Once Gorgle ate too much and the bunk bed broke and Gorgle fell through the bunk bed onto my back! 

When Gorgle is sick, I feed her rat-tails to make her feel better.  She also coughs up fire, and once she almost set the house on fire! 

But Gorgle can’t always fly me to school because Gorgle has to go to school too, so she can learn to do math and stuff like that, so sometimes my mom drives me to school.

Gorgle is a year older than me, so Gorgle can do my homework for me!  She also makes the best mud pies!  Gorgle is like my big sister, except she doesn’t bother me like a big sister would. 
I really like Gorgle.

CANDY TIME
By Danny G.

     While walking in the Wolcott Children’s Forest, through the green, enormous oak tress, chestnut brown woodchips, with the bright sun hitting my eyes, suddenly a kid had walked away from the class.  Her name was Denise.  She was eight years old, wore glasses, and had brown, wavy hair and brown skin.  The class had been talking and Denise had run away!  She had gotten lost! 
     When we were back inside and sitting at our desks, Mr. Dicks said in a loud and mean voice, “Where is Denise?”  
     “In the Wolcott Children’s Forest,” said her best friend, Jessica.
       “We must find her!” cried Mr. Dicks.
        “Do we have to?” asked her worst friend, Toby.
         But soon, Denise walked in.
       “Denise, where were you?” blurted Jessica. 
          Her pants were bulging with candy.   “Buying candy,” she said happily.

Kittens
By Erika T.

Kittens,
cute and soft.
Someone you can play with…
Someone you can talk to…
Someone you can love.
Who loves you? Kittens do.

My Mom
By Annelise L.

My mom,
she never lets me get my own clothes on!
I can hear her say,
“C’mon!  Stand up!”
I moan.
In a second
my mom tries to throw my clothes on me
as I try to fall back asleep.
“Let’s go to the car!” mom yells. 
Okay!
Mom!

My Morning
By Jessica P.

Beep! Beep!
…my alarm clock bellows
Vroom!
Splash! Splash!
…cars passing through the rain.

Wake up JESSICA!

“OK,” I whine.
I stamp my foot on the ground.
Stamp!  Stamp!  Stamp!

“Get dressed!”

“I’m dressed already!”
I walk down the stairs.
Crunch!  Crunch!
…I eat my waffles. 
MMM! 

Good Bye! 

Splash! Splash!
…as I jump through the puddles.

COMPUTERS
BY Travis W.

Computers,
full of knowledge,
running
day after day,
on and off,
all hours of the day.
But if we have computers,
why do we need laptops?

Nightmare
By Toby C.

I look in the closet
before I go to sleep.
I peer under my bed.
I scamper to my window
to make sure
it’s closed.
But he still comes.
The boogieman
at midnight.
As he gets closer
his sharp teeth
scare me!

Marshmallow
By Denise C.

My rabbit is Pink
I always sleep with her
I got her for Easter Day
She always smiles at me
every day.
My sister has one too.
It’s a boy
He is so light green
His name is Hoppy
He is so cute,
like mine
We love our rabbits so much!

THE NEW ROOMS IN THE SCHOOL
By Alex R.

The new rooms are so enormous

like giant wholly mammoths.

They are full of wonderful music, books and art.

The new rooms have long windows,

like giraffes eating leaves when they are hungry in Africa.

The kindergarteners like the new rooms a lot!

The new rooms

at Wolcott School

are the best!

Summer Swimming
By Zhao 

The pool…
Toddlers talking together,
swimming everywhere
Water…
Teenagers racing in the deep end.
Kids jumping on the top tall ledges.
Morning classes learning to dive and swim
Water rushing quickly in the water tubes
with the sound of
Summer Swimming

The Bear
By Andrew S.

There is a bear
in the woods.
He took me to a cave.
He tied me up
with much delight
and tried eat me!
But I cut the rope
and ran straight out of
The Cave of the Bears!

The Forest
By Cara B.

Leaves, the color of emeralds.
Sticks, standing so still.
Woodchips, all alone.
The trees, fluttering in the dusty wind.
Butterflies, flittering through the maples.
The Wolcott Children’s Forest.

The Star Look
By Esteban P.

That star look

The one he gave me when
I went there

The one that made me feel
that he was the one to get.

It made me feel
warm in my heart

Just that look.
The star look

-Dedicated to Gregoreo P.

The Stereo
By Grant A.

The Stereo
Buzzing out music
As loud as thunderstorm
Crashing down trees
Turning the volume button
Listening to
Jazz,
Rock and Roll
Dancing all around
Like a crazy ape!
The Stereo

The Whopper
By Colin B.

“What happened to the kitchen window?” my mom asked. 
So I said a bird crashed into it,
but what really happened was I accidentally hit a baseball through it. 

The next day my mom had a new window,
and the same thing happened again. 
But this time my mom looked at the floor
and saw the glass sparkling like ice and the baseball. 

It wasn’t too bad when she grounded me for three years
instead of the rest of my life.

Trees
By Amelia P.

Trees,
emerald, auburn, copper, maroon, gold, and garnet

 
Russet stems.
Old leaves…
New leaves…
Crisp and dry.  

Wrinkly, Crunchy
          Wet and Soggy,

Fragrant and Shiny

And some…

          Small, small, small

Any color,
                 Any shape,
                    Any size,
                             Any type…
apple, sugar maple, peach, pear, white pine
even coconut and palm too!
    Taller than a telephone pole!
          Taller than my house!
               Taller than the school!
