A Winter's Day
On a cold, winter day, I walked to the park wearinga grey trench coat. People passed and I could see
they were merry, for Christmas was on its way. As I
reached the park, I saw kids throwing snowballsand making snowmen while other people were ice
skating and laughing. As I watched all of this, I was
thinking of my Christmas past, throwing snowballswith my sister, opening presents on Christmas Day,
and me in my youth laughing and enjoying the
thought of my family together. Soon those happy
times were over so I left the park leaving behind all
my memories with the knowledge that this, too,would soon be a memory!

cotton candy clouds
The clouds are like cotton candy swirling around
ever so gently in a bowl. Moving calmly in thewind, and moving further away from the trees and
the sun. I hear the big, giants rustling in the cool,
calm breeze. Looking at the sun setting is so brightand yellow. I can't look away. Soon, the shading
covers the dark brown ground, and the cloud is a
peach just beginning to ripen. The sunset is like atiger beginning to pounce on its prey. When I look
at the trees they almost disappear into the night sky.
-- Sierra
The Lost Tree
The tree is a person standing alone in the darkness
waiting for the sun to come out of hiding. It's as
lonely as a new student waiting to make friends.
Clouds slowly start to pull apart as the sun peeks
around the corner. The creaky fence is a gate to thefield of trees below. Barbwire sits ready to remind
any one who comes close enough to stay away. All
the rickety braches rock like a new born baby snugin the arms of its mother gently swaying in a
rocking chair. The sad tree waits as a single rain
drop trickles down the long healthy trunk. The skydarkens and is ready for the storm coming its way.
It thunders and booms and the dead grass lay
motionless soaked. But the little tree still standsalone.
-- Kassidy
The Majestic Night
The moon shone brightly, like a candle illuminating
a pitch black room. I lowered my gaze and set it on
the tall oak tree. It was either dead, or if it waswinter, "sleeping". Its leafless branches extended
toward the sky like a frail cobweb blowing in the
wind. I shuddered, the moon was an orange, it was
strangely full, (if it were an orange it would burstwith ripeness), and deep in color. It looked like a
marmalade kind of yellow, with a tint of red in it. It
cast an evil glow across the sky. The sky was evenstranger; it was dull and cloudy, the clouds were
plump, (and rather squashed looking) apples. (Or
that's what they looked like). And had a mix offiery red, black, and blue. It was eerie, yet
majestically beautiful. I stood transfixed for a
moment, sighed and started to walk off, dead leaves
suffocating between my feet.-- Elizabeth
Drop
When you glance down you can see a pond with
water that is as clear as glass. It just showered arhythmical rain. A constant "drip drop" tells you
that water droplets, clear and circular just fell to the
Earth. A leaf of pine green has an aqua drop thatquickly falls down into the pond, like a ball
bouncing off of the surface with a quiet splash. The
bronze colored fish frantically scatter to the edgesof the circular pool of water when the drop hits the
surface. The cool refreshing water ripples as slowly
7/28/2019 Phrases English

as a Rollie-Polly. The ripples are soldiers slowly
dying in a war.
-- Connie
Sandy Beach
The sparkly sea splashes up onto the sandy beach.
The sand spreads across the beach like million oftiny grains of salt, covered by shells the sea
randomly washed up over the years. One is striped
like a zebra with blue. Another one is a sunset
colored pink, orange and cream. Small sticks arescattered forming many barriers against the
different shells. The sea is a bag of sunflower seeds
with its salty aroma. I take one last glance andslowly walk back to the car awaiting the next time I
visit the beach.
-- Alice
THE MOON
A white orb, an illuminant tear in the grand tapestry
of black around it. It sits perched like a hawk,staring through a blank, transparent window of fog
that it is caged around, keeping its true celestial
splendor from the thousands of spectators, sleepingunder the shadow of light it casts. Its radiance,
creeps around the blanket of mist that keeps it
captivated from the land below it. It lies in the
center of the sky, as a blanket of wonder tucks it in.High in the sky it sits the center of attention to the
bright gray and surrounding air. A silver quarter,
falling through a dusty desk of black and gray. Inthe center, the moon, and all around it, fog with he
depth of space around it.
-- Alec

joyfully, I dipped my foot into the cool, clear oceanon that scorching hot day. The sun was beating
down on me as the crystal blue water pulled the
golden sand from between my toes.As the wave tumbled closer, I stood up on thesurfboard and fearfully rode toward the safety of
the shore.
