The Calm River

A calm river with
fish jumping
over your bumps. A calm
river behind the rocks. The beautiful
plants in the water. Floating
down the river. Me in
the warm water. It is very
shiny. I smell the flowers
around you. River do you
ever slow down then go
fast again? Do your chuckles
impress people? I feel beautiful
because your river
shows my reflection in the water.
Why?
Why?
Why?
You are beautiful.
I cry.

By Alyssa Richardson

River River
River
River
Feel my shiver
In your fog
I walk my dog
In the morning
DEW
Splashing
In the
Water
Woo hoo!
Look in the
Water it’s an
Otter
Up in the sky
Hear a hawk
Cry
River
River
Feel my shiver
Walking by the
Willamette
River.
By Aharon Garcia

A River holds…
life…
memories…
peace…

by Michael May

Life
Life
Runs
Down
Me
Like
Your
Water
Hand
To
Hand
We stand
and say
This is
Our
River.
