Author’s Corner: Focus on Poetry

Sunset Sunrise
by Aaliyah
Sunset, sunrise
See the birds fly by.
Sunset, sunrise
See the moon go by.
Sunset, sunrise
Listen to the ocean nearby.
Sunset, sunrise
Listen to the birds so high.
Night to Dawn
By Finley
It was night. Birds flew by.
The clouds were dark.
The water sparkled under the moon’s light.
In my mind, I saw
Mountains, rivers, and oceans.
Soon I heard the birds chirping
And I knew it was dawn!
“Don’t be shy! Show them how fabulous you are! This is a great spot for a glowing testimonial.”
