My Cat Arin
By: Giorgia Bruni, 2nd Grade
My cat Arin lives in my house,
He is scared of water and mouse.
Everyday we play and chat,
I love spending time with my fluffy cat.
He always eats meat and fish,
But he goes crazy for olive and milk.
In the darkest hour of the night,
His eyes are a bright light.
He values more than my favorite toy,
Because in my family he brings joy.
Summer Days
By: Lillian Breece, 2nd Grade
I like summer,
I like summer
Summer is fun!
Riding my bike,
Exploring in the forest,
And catching fish in the creek,
All day long.
I see groundhog,
I see squirrels,
I see birds,
I see deer.
But my most favorite part of summer,
Is visiting the dog next door.
New Class in School
By: Ousmane Ba, 4th Grade
We need a new class in school,
Led by the OBJM crew (Ousmane, Ben, Joseph, and Moctar).
In Fortnite class you learn
How to communicate, collaborate, and compete,
as you grind levels.
We will practice paying attention.
The class will be like a dream.
Goodbye Math, and
Good Morning Fortnite!
Splashing into a minute.
By: Kikyo Bamba, Grade 7
One minute is still
But next splashes everywhere
Once more, pure silence
Pearl
By: Julia Vo, Grade 9
I am nothing
For when the nightingales sing
And the church bells ring
l am nothing
For we are unlike in the fairness of our day
And yet that evening, on clay we equally lay
l am nothing
For when I breathe, the world is straight ahead
But for when I rest, the sky I look at instead
I am nothing
For when I’m gone I wish to be forgotten
For when I cease and my body is rotten
l am nothing
For there is ego in memory
My only hope is my words remain a remedy
l am nothing
And Although today I’m just a girl
Tomorrow I’m all but a pearl
Eyes of Jade
By: Kristelle Bila, 9th Grade
In eyes of jade, a story weaves,
Imprinted upon the worn out leaves.
Murmurs of a thousand whispers
With the passage of a thousand winters.
Underneath the full moon’s silver shadows
Reflections of a kite over a meadow.
That soars over the vast mountains and rivers.
A motionless unit of soul, boundless.
Painted with colors of twilight hues
A tale unfolds in an iridescent refuge.
Where wisdom dwells and secrets keep
The darkest of the night, where nightmares sleep.
With a single gaze, a page turned
Telling a tale that leaves us burned.
Mixed with blackest ink
Eyes of Jade, the strongest link
