I Am the Leaves

I dance in the wind.
I have a cringing voice.
I swirl aound your body.
To give you a chill.

I am the rain.
I tap dance on your roof.
Calling to the heavens.
I am misty and loud .
You run inside when I come out.

Summer

Summer taste hot like cinnamon gum you just put in your mouth
Summer feels like a fire your Pa just made
Summer smells like your neibhorhood pool water
Summer sounds loud with laughter from little children playing
Summer looks bright and shiny like a silky yellow ribbon

Post-it Note from God

I am the light

I heal when you are sick

Some love me

Some not at all

Because I am the one and only god, I am the light.

I heal when you are sick.

Some love me.

Some not at all.

Because I am the one and only God.

A song with figurative launguage

"Stand, Rascal Flatts"

"You fell like a candle 

in a hurricane 

just like a picture 

with a broken frame"

by:Taylor Ware

summer is when 

you can go on a whim

to anywhere you like

by plane or by bike

picnics and watermelon

mean time in the sun

so summer must be 

a time of fun

Bubbles

by Paula Jane Harrison

Bubbles

Some bubbles rise up to the sky

Some bubbles don't I don't know why

Easily popped by just one touch

Easily missed by way to much

Silent and round as we make it

Being forgotten bit by bit

Weaker and weaker as it grows

That is what happens, I suppose

Of all the ones that we condemn

We don't remember all of them

Even when we continue to grow

We still wonder where they go

A Book Is Like

by Kathy Leeuwenburg

A book is like an open flower, scented pages, fragrant hours.

A book is like a crafty fox, surprising in its clever plots.

A book is like a fairy's wings, with princesses, enchanted kings.

A book is like a windowsill, where breezy thoughts are never still.

A book is like an hour glass, whose pages flow as hours pass.

A book is like a lock and key that opens doors and sets minds free.

A book is like an ancient clock that speaks the times but never talks.

A book is like an open letter, when read again the friendship's better.

A book is like an apple core with seeds inside for growing more.

A book is like a trusted friend that keeps its secret to the end.

Jordan Wood

Every Season       

 

Every evening sky, an invitation 

To trace the patterned stars

And early in July, a celebration

For freedom that is ours

And I notice You

In children's games

In those who watch them from the shade

Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder

You are summer

And even when the trees have just surrendered

To the harvest time 

Forfeiting their leaves in late September

And sending us inside

Still I notice You when change begins

And I am braced for colder winds

I will offer thanks for what has been and what's to come

You are autumn

And everything in time and under heaven

Finally falls asleep

Wrapped in blankets white, all creation

Shivers underneath

And still I notice you

When branches crack

And in my breath on frosted glass

Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter

You are winter

And everything that's new has bravely surfaced

Teaching us to breathe

What was frozen through is newly purposed

Turning all things green

So it is with You

And how You make me new

With every season's change

And so it will be

As You are re-creating me

Summer, autumn, winter, spring
