Third Grade

Liliana
Pineapple

A rocket blasting off.
A boom shooting fast.
A million eyes with a spiky bottom.
A fat palm tree.

Juliet B.
Pineapple

It's a jelly jar that someone is squirting jelly out of.
The bee has a very spiky green stinger.
The star at the bottom is twinkling so bright.
The design is perfect for a fence.
It's screaming so loud, you can see its green voice.


Alexis P.
Pineapple

A head with 100 mouths and hair.
A shooting star.
A fat yellow bee with honey out of his mouth.
An animal that is mad at you, trying to hurt you.
A rocket flying in space.
100 flowers with one stem.
Something scared and spiked out.

Vanessa K.

Brianna R.
Pineapple.

The yellow spiked rocket has green pointy fire.
The green star has a circle in the middle.
The green spiked mouth shouts out at you.

Julian P.
Pineapple

1. The leaves stand for fire.
2. And the pineapple is the rocket.
3. And it looks like my grandmother knitting
a quilt.

4. It looks like the sun rising.
5. And like a Ipod beating for the spikes.
6. And also a deep dark cave.

Pineapple

4. Spike up that hair, dude.
5.  A great mistake of human nature.

Javier E.
PiƱa

A bald alien with green legs and 100 eyes.
An angry pine tree shooting from a steep hill.
Lily's bad hair day : )
A baby monster has hatched from an egg.
A man's head spilling out his million thoughts.

Jennifer N.
Pineapples!

Just waking up early in the morning.
The new shirt I bought.
My favorite firework that explodes.
The world on a diet.
A destroyed Christmas tree.
The sprinkles on the front lawn
It is the best of the worst.

5th grade

Lauren C.
My Wild Pineapple

As you stare at it the thorns pierce into your eyes
You can't stare past it because of it's wild call to you
The tiny little apples with stems sharp as knives
The wings ready to spread and fly away.

You can see the struggle of it ready to blast.
No smell but so much feeling.
The fountain's top water splashing
As you put it down the floor cracks and shakes.

Cynthia R.
About a Pineapple

The star shines under the black eclipse
Grass on top of spiky fields
Quarters, pennies hidden inside a stack of needles.
Swords pointing to it's prey;
Tornado, sweeping up into a black hole
Sharks in the sea with pointy grass
Palm trees in a hot place.
Vines grabbing people.

Brian G.
Pineapple

Bursting water out of the water bottle
Super villains escaping out of jail
Grass growing out of the rocky ground.

Mia A.
Pineapple

The hive of the honeybee
The fireworks green and yellow in the dark smoky sky
The disc of the DVD player
A tiger roaring in the tropical forest
Many green tongues coming out to get a drink
The water that comes out of a whales spout
The nails sticking out of a wall.

Anastasia M
The Pine Evil

The pineapple is a soda bottle in disguise
Tiles on the floor come to like on the fruit.
Millions of knives pointing at me
A tarantula climbing on a palm tree
The smell is a fresh flower of a tree
It's as thorny as me.
The poor thing that everyone hates
is the most of waste.

Soul Foods by Francis Duggan

 
Humanity would be worse off without music, dance and song
And to the music people always sing and dance along
With art these natural gifts are the foods of the soul
Without such there would be more wars and a far greater death toll
Those who do not like any of the soul foods in life have lost their way
And though they may be seen as important people in the World of today
Their money could never replace what soul food to them would bring
'Tis hard for the person to laugh who does not dance or sing
What a huge difference in our lives food for the soul does make
Too often such beautiful and natural gifts for granted we do take
Though financially well off without soul foods you are in spiritual poverty
Without the soul foods in our lives how boring life would be
There must be a time for music a time to draw and a time to dance and sing
The soul foods of humanity are such a marvelous thing.
