Ninth Grade Poems: The Statue of Liberty and The Great White Way

Her torch aloft in an azure sky,
A lovely lady standing by
She lights the darkness for those who grope
An immortal symbol of freedom and hope.

The Great White Way

A lovely sight do we behold
when Times Square lights shine white and gold
New Yorkers and tourists out to have fun
For theaters and
Night clubs the day has begun.

Third Grade Poem: The Cave Shelter

The Cave Shelter

The early cave, home of the brave
They had less utensils, had not heard of pencils,
Early days and early ways,
Prove to us that life was a fuss.
They had a flint knife
Led a hunting and fishing life,
They were afraid of the Dinosaur
But hunted a wild boar
These animals dont exist anymore
And we are glad we don't hear them roar.

--Oct.6,1949
