WVL Students Published in Poetry Collection

During the last month, Mrs. Michalsen’s Language Art’s 6 class has been studying and enjoying the many types of poetry.  Students have also written and shared some of their own creations!  Mrs. Michalsen encouraged her students to enter their creative writing in the contests posted for enrichment.  Three students; Anna Shillinglaw, Lillian Knoll, and Tomi Bestul have been chosen to have their poems published in the spring edition of “A Celebration of Poets.”  This is an honor for these students and they are all eligible for the next level of top ten poets that would receive an award as well!  Congratulations!

Summer, by Anna Shillinglaw

During the summer it's as hot as a stove,
So into the cool water I dove.
The moon shines as bright as a spotlight,
So I can dance throughout the night.
In a storm the thunder sounds like a giant's tread,
So I always curl up in my cozy bed.
Summer rain is a sweet sprinkle,
When it falls it makes the flowers twinkle.
The summer breeze is a rolling wave,
Sharing the sweet scent that the flowers gave.

Spring, by Lillian Knoll

Sunny days and fields of green.
Against a tree I shall lean.
The birds fly by and by.
And I want to ask why.]
The flowers so sweet.
A bumble bee to meet.
What is this amazing thing?
It's spring.

Spring Returns, by Tomi Bestul

With a gentle breeze
Like a thankful sigh,
Spring tries to come in with a please.
But Winter not ready to say goodbye,
Shuts the door with a cold, windy freeze.
Making Spring begin then to cry.
The tears of Spring form a gentle rain,
That melts the snow of Winter's heart.
Winter loses his grip on his long, cold reign,
And Spring brings out her art.
Art that refreshes colors faint from Winter's blinding refrain.
And finally, Winter will depart.
