The Runner
Michael Eakin

With fierce determination on his face

He spans the running track beneath his feet,

His lengthy strides consistent, keeping pace.

The runner - focused - does not feel the heat.

 

A bead of sweat starts trickling down his face

The crowd is screaming loudly with delight

Like nothing matters but who wins the race

The finish line will soon be in his sight

 

The track is long but this has been his dream

The runners start but he is far behind

He pushes hard and goes to the extreme

 He breaks the tape; he is the one who shined

 

He sits back as his dreams at last unfold

He won the race and finally got the gold

 

In the Winter

Max Johnson

 

There were places we would go

Laughing and playing was so much fun!

Playing in the rain and snow

 

Making snowman just to show

Through the knee-high snow we’d run

There were places we would go

 

Where we went we did not know

We always came back home at one

 Playing in the rain and snow

 

Hot chocolate and marshmallows

Exploring more when we were done

There were places we would go

 

Snow would seep in through our clothes

It was so cold we’d want the sun

Playing in the rain and snow.

 

Oh so hard the wind would blow

Our noses and toes the rain would stun

There were places we would go

Playing in the rain and snow
