It’s Here – Autumn

It’s Here – Autumn

by Nadia

When the breeze arrived during summer,

it’s here – autumn is here.

As time goes on the leaves turn brown 

making it grow old and shed on the ground.

 

As the wind tickles my neck and whisper

to my ear while I ride my bike through 

the cold wind, 

it’s here – autumn is here.

 

When summer is gone and autumn’s taking 

over, there will be less sunlight as the days 

become shorter. 

It’s here – autumn is here.

“Don’t come home too late!” my mom says.

 

When the trees become bald without

its leaves, and the weather became 

colder, we know that it’s here – winter is 

here. 

It’s time to say goodbye… I wish to meet you

again autumn. Soon.

Food

Food

by Emilia

If you were to ask someone

Who or what is you best friend?

They would say

My dog

My hamster

The person that I sit next to in class.

All but one person

If you ask Mr Perrigrew down the road

Food, he would say

Food is my best friend.

Because it will always be there

Whether you like it or not

Food doesn’t ask silly questions

Like what is 156 divided by 4

It won’t tell you what to do

It’s my best friend forevermore.

Time

Time

By Ariane S

 

Time is like words,

once you say it,

it can never come back,

like a balloon floating in the air.

 

I feel like everyday is dwindling day per day,

If in the past,

you made an egregious mistake,

just forget about it and move on to the future.

 

Move on to the future,

never come back,

because the balloon will never come back.

Saint Mary’s

By Sean T.

 

Saint Mary’s

It’s a soccer match against Saint Mary’s. I’m nervous.

But not too nervous. My hands aren’t shaking. I don’t have

a sore stomach. My heart isn’t pumping tremendously. But

I know some people are nervous. The referee

blows the whistle. The match begins.

There’s the kick-off.

 

My position is a midfielder. I’m a right midfielder. We’re

all doing what we’re supposed to do. The stickers get

a long or short pass from the midfielders and

and tries to take a shot and score a goal. The defenders are

trying to defend the goal by not letting any opponent getting

past them so they can score a goal.

 

The goalkeeper has to also defend the goal but with his

hands. The midfielders (which is what I am) is basically a

striker and defender. Midfielders have to run all around the court.

They have to attack and defend. We’re losing brutally

losing by more than ten points.

 

Eventually, we lost count. So did the coach. I bet we’re

all thinking the same thing which is that we are definitely not

going to win this match. Then I see the ball. I get the ball.

I dribble with the ball. I pass to one of the stickers. He does his skills

to get past the defenders. He passes it to the other striker.

He takes the shot. He scores. It’s the first goal of the season.

 

He shouts out “YEAH! FIRST GOAL OF THE SEASON!”

Some people start to celebrate. But I don’t with some

of my other teammates. Because even though we scored, we lost.

I’m disappointed that we lost but we still scored our first goal

of the season.

 

I am definitely sure that the opponent thinks we’re weird

because even though we lost, some of us are celebrating.

But as I say again, we still did score our first goal of the season.

It was a step forward. We all know we can’t play like

this in our next match. We all have to improve our game.
