Quatrains 2007
I layed on my pillows
During the night
In the willows
Where I’m snuggled up tight Desiree
We buried him.
We all cried.
His name was Kim. Chris
I walked through the fog.
I fell off a rock.
I heard something snap.
It was blue chalk. Ashley
To turn on the fire under the pot.
Said Jay one day
To his best friend Kay. Asia
Oh my love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in May.
Only love’s like the melody
That sweetly played in the day. Tawni
I wish I had money,
All green and spendable.
It’s the one thing I want,
And it’s dependable. Shannon
He had a black cat,
And its name was Bob.
That cat was very fat,
And it loved to eat corn on the cob. Shane
The sun set quickly in the sky.
The wind blew through the leaves.
The clouds floated over the horizon.
The waves washed back out to sea. Alex
The rushing ocean waves
Beat harshly on the sand.
They roar up and crash and foam
As they break upon the land. Desiray
The house is so yellow,
It makes me feel mellow.
The shutters are so green,
They make me feel clean. Amber
The wind rushed through my hair,
While I was at the fair.
I saw a jay.
It was a great day. Christian
The weather is cool.
Too cold for a pool.
Just warm enough to play ball.
It must be fall. Gabriel
The fast river water
Stormed over the land.
The speed and strength of water
Destroying all the land. Tony
The mermaid showed up.
She was very thirsty.
She got water in a cup.
She went back to the sea Jennifer
AABB I am happy today
Because the field is as hay
The sky is blue
And I want to say thank you. Alexis
AABB The good little boy
Got a new toy
Gave to a friend
And that was the end. Adam
AABB The rushing car sounds
Like many hounds
They roar and stop
On to a lot. Johovany
ABAB One-two
Can she borrow the scissors?
Scissors or glue
Because she said it needs to look prettier. Danielle
ABCB The rushing ocean waves
Beat harshly on the sand
They roar and crash and foam
As they break upon the land.
