My Little Piano

By Zane, 7

Balboa Elementary

Northridge

When I play my piano,

I’m filled with joy.

The sound is pretty,

It’s my best toy.

I like the songs,

I like to staccato,

I practice each day,

That is my motto.

The keys are soft,

The height is just right,

The piano’s my love,

My mind just takes flight.

I Would Like ...

By Emily, 10

Valley View Elementary

Hollywood

I want to earn an award

For something very great.

Maybe even two or more,

What about even eight!

I would like to become a writer,

Or maybe learn to draw,

I might become a chemist,

Or even study law.

Whatever I do

Or wherever I go,

I would like

Friends and family to know.

I want to earn an award

For something very great,

Maybe even two or more

What about even eight!

Please Go Away

By Nicholas, 9

Century Park Elementary

Disease, disease, please go away. I want to go outside and play. I want to do what I want to do, and I want to get away from you.
