__Our Found Poem__ by Caitlin and Gabriella

Seeds sway and snow falls covering them like a soft white blanket. Look, the tiny seed from the tiny plant is all alone. The tiny seed sails on with the others, Sun shines and rain waters it. It grows on and on. Look, another seed lands On a tall and icy mountain. Look, a strong wind is blowing. It blows flower seeds high in the air and carries them far across the land. Look, after their long trip the seeds settle down. Look, out comes many tiny seeds that quickly sail far away on the wind. After a winter's rest, The tiny seeds continue their journey.

__The Tiny Seed Poem__ By: Jennifer Chen & Imani Stanley

It is Autumn, A strong wind is blowing, The wind pushes the seed, The seed flies higher than the others.

It is Winter, The seed settles down. They look just as they are going to sleep in the Earth. Snow falls and covers them like a soft blanket.

It is Spring, Birds fly, the sun shines, and rain falls. The seed starts to grow into a plant. The tiny plant has three leaves and a bud.

It is Summer, It grows on and on, into such a beautiful flower.

It is Autumn again, The days grow shorter, The nights get cooler, The flower has lost almost all of it's petals. The tiny plant from the tiny seed is alone, Waiting to rest in the Winter and bloom in the Spring

THE TINY SEED POEM BY DIAMOND BURR & ALLISON LAM

It is Autumn. A strong wind is blowing, It blows flower seeds high in the air and carries them far across the land. It is Winter. Snow falls and covers them like a soft white blanket. The snow has melted. It is Spring. It is really spring! Birds fly by. The warm weather brings the children out to play. It is Summer. The seeds grow so round and full they start to burst open. A flower grows into a giant flower. It is taller than the people. It is taller than the trees. It is Autumn again. Out come many tiny seeds that quickly sail far away on the wind.

A Flower Year by: Alyssa S. and Anna T. All summer long the bees and butterflies come visting. Birds fly by. Seeds drop from the giant flower and sail along with the bright leaves. And the wind carries **yellow** - red petals and seeds from the flower , like a child's a colorful portrait. Seeds drift down. Now they are not seeds anymore. Rain falls. A strong wind is blowing. The flowers sway and bends away from the wind. The sun then shines on such BIG and beautiful flowers. But a shadow looms over them. A boy picked some of the flowers to give to his mother. While others continue to grow until the days grow shorter And the nights grow cooler. It is Autumn and the cycle begins again.
