Caroline L1

Night and Day By Caroline Lane Night like a dark, blue cape draped over the sky Day like a smiling face, bright with light everywhere. Children run and play during the day At night asleep without a sound. At night dewdrops begin to form, Waiting for day’s children to frolic in them.

Day is like the yellow sunflowers blooming to show the world, Night is like the black calla lily silent and elegant. Gold stars like their each own sun. White clouds like cotton candy from the fair.

Out comes the moon white and bright, Down goes the sun when day turns to night. Car’s headlights turn switched on when night comes and day is gone. The night has brought secret a rain, surprising day all fresh and clean.

The rooster crows when it’s night’s turn to leave and soon the day’s sun appears. Work begins when the sun has risen, And ends when it has set. One part of the world the orange sun has done its job, another the work has just begun. When the sun goes down, all is said and all is done.

The Spinosaurus By Caroline Lane Most people don’t know about the Spinosaurus who lived long ago. Walking across dry North African plains. A giant, fierce and menacing. It’s pointing, straight jaws are knives, It’s lengthy tail is a log. It’s fan like the gorgeous rainbow fanning across the sky. A 40-foot long animal? Impossible some would say. Not for the fearless Spinosaurus! Oh look who’s come over! It’s Spinosaurus’s cousin, Acrocanthosaurus! Like a ship they both with sails One venturing across land and one across sea. Thump, thump across the land, Trying to find it’s next meal. Who will it be?

Fire By Caroline Lane Fire is a bright orange cape draped around a building. Smoke is it’s a partner in many crimes Fire can make things smell quite stinky. Like burnt toast, rubber or even a pile of leaves! Fire is the sun’s evil cousin But fire can be a blanket toasty and cozy. As long as you’re far enough away of course. Because if you get too close to fire… Watch out! Snap, crackle, pop! The sneaky little demon will be out of the fireplace before you even know it and… Ouch! You’ll be burned! But wait, fire isn’t all bad, You can cook, stay dry and warm of course! Oh look! My Smore’s are ready! I realized I have forgotten one thing, How roasting hot fire can make things. So… OUCH! Just remember… To wait for your Smore’s to cool down! Sun Set The shiny, sizzling, scarlet, sun slips behind the scenery Slipping and sliding down the magenta sky first, Then whizzing down under the horizon. As the sun vanishes, It makes the sky ablaze with sparkling magenta, pink, orange and yellow. Adults watch the sun set Children are spotted skipping along speaking silly sentences. Slip Slide Glide One minute it’s there, Another it’s gone.
