GgghostIn the darkness and silent cold night,
There lives a ghost that will give me quite some fright.
With its creepy sounds Whoosh-Whoosh
It will sweep right by me Swoosh-Swoosh.
GGGHOST CONT.
Dark shadows, evil eyes, and horrific hands.
It probably has some evil plans.
Sometimes I think , sometimes I know,
One day I’ll be a ghost exterminator pro.
GGGHOST CONT.
The ghosts come around every once in a while.
A lot of times they don’t make people smile.
The scary ghosts have different forms.
To not recognize them they can take the shape of a worm.
GGGHOST CONT.
With its shadowy body scaring kids.
It probably has ghost fits.
One day the ghost will be scared of me.
One day it will be frightened; you shall wait and see.

Basketball is Marvelous!Basketball is marvelous; I jump up to shoot
Other people on my team; got it in the hoop
My team and I had a lot of fun
After we got the ball in the hoop, we won
BASKETBALL IS MARVELOUS CONT.
In practice we play
To prepare for game day
Using an orange ball that is round
We pass, shoot, and rebound.
BASKETBALL IS MARVELOUS CONT.
When the game is to start
We are ready to play our part.
We dashed around fast
To get open for the pass

SCOTT GIN (5T H GR.)Sleeping
AHHHRelaxation, rest, sleep,
slumber, I love it
The day is goneLike a blink of an eye
The moon shining
As bright as firefliesThe comfy bedCrisp as paper
The soothing blankets and pillows
Like a massage
The stress gone
Like an eraser on a pencil mark
The pajamas soft
As a silky feather
The shadows
As thick as a blanket
SLEEPING CONT.
The cozy silence
Like a quiet breeze
The tick tock of me clock
Like soft raindrops
The dream begins
