The Story of my Life by Caris Quan

The Story of my Life by Caris Quan

We are born with only one body

And we live and change with it

My body has many stories

Like the time I belly flopped into a pool

Or when I bit through my lip

Falling down on the floor

The mole on my back was itchy

So it was frozen and holepunched

Two stitches to show where it was

So far I have lost half a dozen of teeth

And two years from today in the past

I got glasses to help me see

I get bruises a bunch every week

And cuts a few times a month

My body is always changing

To show the stories I have been through.

Our Galaxy by Curtis Leung

Our Galaxy by Curtis Leung

Infinite abyss of black and yellow

In space that goes on forever

It is a beautiful place with a billion stars

Our galaxy has a big black hole in the middle

We are here on Earth in our galaxy

We are on the continent North America

Our country is Canada

Our neighborhood is in Richmond

Our family looks up at the stars

Staring at the infinite abyss

It is a beautiful place

Ants by Kristy Wang

Ants by Kristy Wang

Ants get the food they take,

Together they have a feast they make

Ants help each other

They barely make you bothered

Baby ants look like grains of rice

Their parents look after them, so nice!

Ants need to protect their babies and themselves to survive

The food kind of helps them revive

They dig tunnels as a team

They always work like a dream.

Ants make long lines

It almost looks like an insect mine

They work together to make homes

They work together to make domes

They also find lots of food

Which puts them in a good mood!

Bake a Cake by Mizuki Maharjan

Bake a Cake by Mizuki Maharjan

Bake a cake, bake a cake

Yum, yum, yum

Every person has to help

Come, come, come

Mommy brings the flour

Daddy brings the eggs

I bring the muscle power

Mix, mix, mix

Pop it in the oven

Watch it rise brown

It’s done, it’s done

Turn that frown upside down

First bite is heaven

Second bite is lovely

I lost count…

But I think I’m on bite number seven! It is so nubbly.
