Loud and Light By: Mary Catherine Mullin

Bright and silent, strong, armed with power like the mightiest beast in the world Lightning aluminates the sky like white on black, always to create shock They come together, they are a pair like two peas in a pod, and they will never be separated

Loud but never to be seen the thunder rolls on loudly like a dog bark in an empty plain the thunder booms, surrounded by dark clouds Thunder and the dark, they go together, accompanied by lightning's flashes of bright light

They could never be the same, but no matter they are still friends Like ying and yang, like right and wrong, like black and white opposites are together Silent and strong with loud and invisible

Never to be seen and never to be heard Together they make the perfect pair From completely different they fit together perfectly, like they were meant to be

Saltopus By: Mary Catherine Mullin

The size of a peanut saltopus is miniature on the scale at 2 feet Jumping or running, saltopus was agile as a man on a tightrope

Being one of the oldest European dinosaurs Named in 1910 by a skeleton in sandstone quarry Old but rare as ruby

It may have been jumping or running but Saltopus was quick A speed demon, with cheetah speed

Speechless but armed with quick instincts, darting with speed like dodging bullets You may not hear, or barley see Saltopus, but when he is found, so is excitement

The huge dinosaurs may get the attention Saltopus may be quiet, even silent Unknown

But I feel as if the one I know best is Saltopus Saltopus is the dinosaur I know, even though I have read and heard about the others too The one I understand best

Home Sweet Home By: Mary Catherine Mullin

Homes welcome you Hello when you arrive, farewell when you part The steps creaking and squeaking under my feet

I know that is my home's way to say Hello! And of course goodbye Always cozy and warm,

I never want to leave the comfort of my home But as I must my house remains in my heart Cozy as when I left

The warm air greets me And keeps me happy, sometimes sad But happy

My home falls asleep just as I do Lights turning off as my head falls to dreams That is my house falling asleep

Singing me a sweet song as the rain keeps me awake My house puts the drops in perfect sound and formation Like the sweet songs of a lullaby

My house says hello my house says goodbye The most important thing my house does My house cares for me

The coldest, windiest, stormiest nights, my house will always be there Forever

My home is there for everything Sad, happy, great and dreadful I will always have my home in my heart

Whether I live there or not

Always

Magical Mystical Rainbows By: Mary Catherine Mullin

Spanning skies, sitting softly Soon to vanish Silently in the sky of deep blue

Brightly beautiful But understated, modest and quiet Like a mouse, sometimes barley there

The sweet cool wet air With the sun beaming down on my face So strong and confident the air will stay sweet forever

So incredible sometimes so sweet and soft Ends up hard as rock Stiff and strong, there to stay

Soon to go, but strong when here Sometimes the colors get swallowed by a beautiful blue sky But always to return

Stronger than ever Ready to reclaim its rare mystical beauty Beauty may be bought by bright

But all I really see Are the colors of magic A rainbow no else Brings
