• My Sister's Always on the Phone
• The Theachers Jumped Out of the Windows
• Hands
• I Am rain
• Except A seed

My sister's always on the phone, I never see her study. She never does her homework, which is why her grades are cruddy. My sister's always on the phone, but I don't think that's cool. My sister is so popular, she's fluncking out of school.

The teachers jumped out of the windows. The principal ran for the door. The nurse and the librarian bolted. The counseler hollering madly, escaped out the door of the gym. The coach and custodian shouted, and ran out the door after him. Oh my! Goodbye! They're not coming back anymore, no more. How fun! they've run! They're not coming back anymore. The lunch ladies fled from the kitchen in haste, and all of the students looked puzzled as staff members scurried and raced. We'd never seen snything like it, But still it was pretty cool to see all the staff so excited, to lesve on the last day of school.

Hands wave and hands save They hold and they mold the hand that claps also slaps Hands give and hands receive Hands make life beautiful.

I am Rain. Falling from Above. Blessing the Earth with Showers. and my Love.

A shrunken, bitter fruit Dropped from a brittle branch; The summer rains have passed it by; The harvesters have let it lie And winter stalks the field Numb through long days and star shy nights Beneath a void of trackless snow; dull passersby may never know The bounty death will yield.
