Kicking Dust

By Danza Rodrigues
Woodstock Union High School, Grade 10

Slip on
Slip off

Tied in a bow
Tied in a knot

Tracked through mud
Tracked through snow

Holes in the sole
Holes on the top

Thrown in the closet
With a hat and a mop

Taken out when in season
Put away for no reason

An old pair of shoes

Winter Times

Cold winter chills
Sledding down hills

Snow ball fights
Beautiful sights

Sleigh rides
My the time fly’s

Skiing down mountains
Chocolate fudge fountains

That is how I see my Winter days go by!

I Ran Through the Woods

I ran through the woods

By Danza Rodrigues
Woodstock Union High School, Grade 10

I ran through the woods
Heard the birds chirp
I ran through the sandy beach
Heard the waves crash
I ran through the field
Heard the grass rustle
I ran across your lawn
Heard the dog bark
I ran up the your stairs
Heard your voice
I ran into your room
Heard my heart beat
I ran into your arms
Heard your heart beat
I ran all this way
Just to hear you!
