I really should have studied for this test today, but what I did instead of that was go outside and play. I thought I’d play a short while, and then I’d read my book, and so I went down to the park to have a little look. The guys were playing baseball and so IContinue reading “My Homer”

Green
Ashley is the strangest kid that you have ever seen. The reason is the girl’s obsession with the colour green. Her socks and shoes and all her clothes are green as green can be. When looking at her books and pens, yes, green is all you see. Her pillows, sheets, her bedspread too, her rug,Continue reading “Green”
Romance in Grade Two
I really loved sweet Mary Lou who sat beside me in grade two. Her eyes were big and bright, bright green. She always smiled — was never mean. She never noticed me at all, cause I was short and she was tall, and so I thought I’d write a note. I thought real hard andContinue reading “Romance in Grade Two”
Rained Out
It really is a rainy day. The sky is just a solid grey. My coach has phoned to let us know my baseball game is not a go. I’m really sad and this is why — I felt inside I’d catch a fly. I was sure that, most of all, each time at bat, I’dContinue reading “Rained Out”
Bruce – the Mouthy Mouse
Bruce was quite a mouthy mouse who tried to tease the cat. The other mice all said that Bruce was just a little brat. The cat, of course, agreed with them, but he didn’t really care. While Bruce called him some nasty names, the cat would only stare. He stared at Bruce and even smiled,Continue reading “Bruce – the Mouthy Mouse”
A Poet’s Life
I’m trying hard to write a poem but now my brain is numb. You see, I’m having trouble rhyming “neighbour’s cat” with “glum”. “Cat” and “glum” just will not rhyme which really makes me tense, cause if I choose some other words, my poem will make no sense. Today we have to share our poemsContinue reading “A Poet’s Life”
The Powerful Lesson
Edward went to sleep one night and he began to dream he was a mighty dinosaur that made folks run and scream! Yes, being large and powerful seemed nothing short of great, but Edward was a tiny mouse so he could not relate. But then, one day, that tiny mouse, much to his surprise, walkedContinue reading “The Powerful Lesson”
Charlie the Mumbler
Charlie always mumbled, which drove his mother crazy. “Speak clearly,” she would yell. “The way you talk is lazy!” “Mumble,” he’d retort, but who knows what he said, and his mom would sigh and simply shake her head. At school, he would mumble when answering Miss Moore, who’d smile and nod and think, her hearingContinue reading “Charlie the Mumbler”
My Slow Dog
I really think my dog is slow, and now I’ll tell you how I know. Spotty just won’t chase his ball — with it, he won’t play at all. And if, for him, I throw a stick, he doesn’t seem to care a lick. He only gives his tail a wag, while “Chase it! ChaseContinue reading “My Slow Dog”
Derek the Donkey
Derek was a donkey but stubborn like a mule, and he was determined to go to public school. I know that must sound crazy, as crazy as can be. Donkeys are not scholars — most people would agree. But Derek was not average. That donkey had a brain! He taught himself to talk and read,Continue reading “Derek the Donkey”
