Who am I? I was named Brenda but I don’t like it What I like more is my second name
Jazmin It makes me think in my favorite season of the year
Spring Because spring is the time when everything takes life.
Never settle It’s my everyday phrase to reach what I want to have
Thanks to my grandfather Who told me that I would not be good enough to get what I desire
So I’m going day by day to shut up his mouth. A seeker of successful; of hope and opportunities.

Sun is behind the cloud
Pollen is flying over my nose
Rain is falling down to the roses
In the sky I can see the birds fly
Now all the trees are green my
Garden is happy with all their flowers By Keyri

Flores éstan en todas partes.
Los arboles son verdes.

Rosas son rojas.
El césped es verde.
Sol hermoso y brillante. By Rivaldo

Orillas de las raices de los arbustos
L uces encantadas que cantan en la

Poemas de la primavera
Flores son muy especiales para las persona y los pajaros comen .
Las flores estan bonita
Osos despierta con hambre.
Water the soil and earth.
El cielo esta nublado.
Respira rico a fuera cuando los pajaros estan cantado.
- Marco P.

Corremos en el patio lo desordenamos luego
Ordenamos para poder comer ponemos la
Mesa, comemos y luego jugamos a
Investigar cosas de otras cuidades para visitar.
Dormimos despues de jugar una siesta con una
Almohada y una cobija en la sala de la casa
By Lidia 16

Florecen todas las plantas y arboles,
Lo que mas me gusta es mirar como sale el sol por las mañanas,
O solo sentame en mi ventana y mirar como aparece la luna, escuchando...
Reir a niños jugar en sus jardines o solo escuchar el lindo sonido de los arboles.
Es un poco frio los dias pero es inevitable salir y mirar las nubes o los colores…
Sobre todo los colores de nuevas plantas o de arcoiris cuando llueve
- Yubitza

Flores rosas y amarillas brillan en el jardin.
Los arboles y arbustos resaltan en el bosques.
Observa el cielo azul, lleno de nubes blancas,
Resaltan en el rio que se adorna de colores.
Estrellas doradas, marcan el inicio de la primavera.
Seduce tu vista, alegra tus dias y te envuelves con el viento en tu camino.
- Bryan Benitez -
Florecen las flores cada primavera
Las rosas se tornan amarillas
O cambian a rosas
Resaltan tu vista al caminar
Es imposible no observar y no alegrarte
Sonrreir.
- Gabriela

Flores azules alegran mi amanecer.
Los pétalos de una rosa son cómo tus
ojos hermosos de admirar. La primavera
pronto se va
recuerda que el tiempo es corto y tu
para mi eres muy
especial el sonido de las aves
Son mi despertar.
- William Paz

poemA Orbelina Funes Los compañeros desean
organizarse para
Salir a comprar churros y sodas
Aman los taquis y la coca-cola, entre
Los más comelones está Isabel
Inventan cualquier cosa para agarrar más taquis
mientras la maestro se distrae aprovechan a utilizar los celulares
en la clase los compañeros disfrutan de los taquis y coca-cola
no les gusta trabajar en sus poemas ya que
Todo el tiempo solo quieren comer y comer
olvidando que tienen que hacer sus poemas acrósticos, no
guardan
Silencio por lo emocionados que están con sus taquis y coca-cola.
25
Ya es hora de ir
ordenando los yogurt que tanto me
Gustan
usualmente me tomo tres al dia
reservo uno para llevar a la escuela
También me gusta compartir con mis amigos. By Santos P.
ria primavera que será lo que espera
La lluvia cae el césped se moja
Oye espera el sol se sonroja
What do you mean?
Empieza el dia mira afuera la tarde llega
Rosas despiertan el césped se moja
Se ve que la primavera a llegado
- Eliezer

Flores son muy hermosas.
Los pétalos resaltan en la flor.
observa como vuelven a crecer en primavera.
renueva fortaleza y alegria.
en jardines se ven preciosas.
Sonrien de nuevo cuando el invierno se va.
