RUN, LITTLE RED FOXBy Jack Prelutsky

Run little red fox, red fox run.Run through the meadowunder the sun.Race through the flowersquick as you please,streak through the forest,weave through the trees.

Run, little red fox,run to your den.Get to your homeby half past ten.Be in your bedwhen the day is done--run, little red fox,red fox run.

Ode to a Sunny Riverside Day

Sunshine streams across the skyAbove the green and turquoise sparkling stream.Back and forth the butterflies tickle the riverbank.A bumbling bee connects with some dandelions.Ants all around push and pull to their little antish homes.Each small stone underneath the water lay A brighter color than when kissed by the sunA free mind soars underneath the puffy white clouds Floating across the blue skyThe warm soft sands blanket my toesThe breeze whispers peace into my earsThe waves come again and again in a soothing, rushing rhythmAll around speaks of peace, beauty, joyThe land is singing, is happy to live!

My Three Dogs

By Brian P. Cleary

My dog Moxie runs like the rain,Growls like a lion,And soars like a plane.

My dog Izzy is as bright as the sun,As quiet as a lamb, And as true as a nun.

My dog Connor is as big as a mountain,As slow as erosion, And squirts like a fountain.

HaikusBy Lindsey Ayres

The tall, lone pine treeCaresses the mountainside,

Swaying in the breeze.

The sunflower is Happy to soak up the sun

Against the blue sky.

A rainbow is a Glorious array of hues

Painted in the sky.

The crisp cotton sheetsFlap back and forth in the sun

Over the green grass.

Warm sun on my hairLights up in copper and gold

Glittering wildly.

The Guillotine

It’s a lean, mean, killing machine-The scariest thing you’ve ever seen.Smashing and crashing through liquid it goes.Who its next victim will be, nobody knows.Though beautifully smooth and silvery grey Its clever endeavor captures its prey.SNAP!Another head floats away…
