The Tree of Summer

There is a tree,
with a blue sky
and puffy clouds behind it
on a hill
In the deep blue river
fishes lurk
waiting endlessly.
There is a tree
in the summer
on a hill.

By Nolan, Grade 5

The Autumn Tree's Thoughts

I see fellow trees behind me.
All of our leaves are oranger than pumpkins.
Squirrels are bustling under me.
I see a river
that's clearer than crystal.
I think a storm is coming.

By Isaac, Grade 4
