There once was a girl named Sue She loved the color blue Her friend liked red So she solemnly said: "You can't be my friend with that view!" P.S. This poem is my Day 12 poem, but I was away on a camping trip. My mom was supposed to post it (I wrote it on Friday afternoon), but she forgot.

Peace
Peace and quiet falls over the land The breeze is cool, like a gentle had As night falls, the children sleep A hush falls over the flocks of sheep Upon them, the stars twinkle down The constellations are a soft white gown We are on the way to eternal peace One day soon, the fighting will cease We are protected and held very dear The one who loves us watches us near So for today, there is nothing to fear Just wait, and peace will soon be here
A Thousand Dollars
If you had a thousand dollars What would you do? Would you walk away with the hottest new shoes? Would you buy people gifts? Or support the poor? Would you buy a new phone--or four? Would you plant trees? Or take a cruise Across all the seas? Would you be wise With a thousand dollars? A thousand dollars will buy you a lot It can make you look pretty; It can make you look hot But be careful, As every wise man knows A fool and his money are soon parted. P.S. Congratulations to the Dissolved Oxygen Project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Traces of Winter
A gale blows across the street Smooth and very cool It howls at me Its bite is cruel Traces of winter can still be found Even as spring has come So while we clean and prepare Be wary not to go numb!
Ancient Walls
Tough and resilient Eternally standing strong Determined and focused Fighting for very long These walls are ancient The centerpiece of the neighborhood They have fought endlessly For generations they have stood They will stand for years to come Fighting back; being brave There's something joyful about them Their entire life to us they've gave.
Tears from the sky
Splattering, pouring Falling out of the heavens Like tears from the sky

Spring Sunshine
The air feels warmer The people seem happier Life seems easier When the sun is shining down Spring sunshine Full of hope and joy Spring sunshine Full of life and rebirth The days grow longer The plants push up Flowers bloom When the sun is shining down Spring sunshine Full of hope and joy Like the world is starting anew When the sun is shining down
A Girl Named Sue
