“Are we almost there!?” I yelled. “I have a stomach ache! It hurts! When will we get there?”
“We are almost there,” my mom said. Then she went back to her conversation with my dad.
“Elspeth move over!” I cried.
“No!”
“Mom, Elspeth won’t move!” She ignored me.

Uh ah uh ah
I breath deep as I finish running around my field the third time
My ears sting from the cool October weather
My dog gallops beside me
I kick the leaves out of my way
He brushes my leg
I feel his soft fur as he runs past
I hear the wind whistling a tune
My eyes get dry from the wind
I close them, and then open again
My dog spies a squirrel
He chases after it

Aqua
By Caitlin Grasso
Aqua is
Deep under the sea
A light blue crystal on a ring
Blueberries that pop in your mouth early in the morning
The color of my mother’s sparkling eyes
The azure sky on a lazy summer afternoon
The color that fills all my dreams

Embarrassment
By Caitlin Grasso
Embarrassment is when my heart stops beating
It’s everything I hate
It’s a feeling that makes me want to run
It’s one word
Horrible

Another?
