Black Cat

There was a black cat

Jumping off the chair to get food

The cat was hungry

- Prestyn Flynn, 10



Turtle

Turtle sees a cat come.

Turtle slips into his shell.

Quiet as a rock.

- Anna Skoumal, 10



Coyote

It hunts late at night.

It howls at the bright full moon.

They like to eat bones.

- April Bender, 10





Fawn

Little fawn in a nest.

Goes by mother if it can.

All brown with white spots.

- Breanna Brooks, 9



The Big Buck

One big buck runs by

Will find another one to fight,

It is a cool sight.

- Aaron Makos, 10



Rabbit

A rabbit jumps high.

It has soft, fluffy grey fur.

It eats ripe, green grass.

- Kiarra Moe, 9



Horse

Riding my girl horse

Across the shimmering sea,

How pretty she is.

- Susan Farias, 9

Eagle

I soar through the sky

I'm the feathered mountain god

And the king of the birds

- Gunnar Riebe, 10



The Raccoon

He knocks down the cans

The trash falls out in my yard

He searches about

- Colin Anderson, 10



Penguins

Wobble down the ice

Penguins leap in the ocean

Then feed the babies

- Lucas Powers, 9



The Quarter Horse

The strong horse is cool.

They can run a quarter mile race.

You might think they're cool.

- Jerzie Lerch, 9

Pandas

Full of attraction

Likes a lot of black and white

As full of bamboo

Dogs

Cute and playful things

The quickest bolt I've ever seen

Black, brown, orange, or tan.

- Mason Kammerer, 10



The Frog

There was a green frog

It jumped and hopped in the lake

Then it ate a bug

- Libby Jordan, 9



Deer

Quiet as the fog.

Fast as the summers wild wind

Deer jump over the fence
