 "Look the sky is blue

See later the sky is dark

Now it is raining

The rain is falling from the sky

Now the sun is coming out"

By Wendy B

 "I lay on the ground

Watching the cherry blossoms

 I stand up and see

One gets up and spreads its wings

Tries to fly like a real bird"

By Wendy H

 "Pink cherry blossoms

Are you but in the winter

Seeing blossoms fall

Make me want to love your all

Nature and love is so tough"

By Annmarie C

 "On a spring morning

How we enjoy the flowers

While you hold my hand

Warms my up like a candle

Always giving warmth and love"

By Anon

 "The wave great and blue

So great it can touch the moon

Smashing through the rocks

The great wave blue as blue

The great wave please come tonight"

By Antonio C

 "Beautiful splashing

Pouring into a river

Water sparkling

Making sparkly foam rise up

Forming a lovely rainbow"

By Blake T

 "The wind slightly blows

Through the beautiful green plains

The pale white snow falls

On the sharp rocky mountains

Nature is very peaceful"

By Clara V

 "The sun rises up

Into the morning daylight

Birds fly very high

Trying hard to touch the sun

Just like my love flew away"

By Dashiel H

 "Beautiful mountains

Rivers with cold, cold water

While cold snow on rocks

Trees over the place with frost

White sparkly snow everywhere"

By Destiny C

 I see the bright stars

Laying down on the open field

As they twinkle bright

I breath in the open air

As I fall asleep deeply

By Destiny M

 "The waves crash through hard

Fog rises from the darkness

The light shines through me

The grass whispers to my heart

The lightning hits my souls love"

By Devin M

 "Moon washes away

On the silver river

Tonight is the night

Sun comes in tonight

Moon will wash away"

By Dorielle A

 "Soft and sweet is love

Moon and stars make love at night

For the sun to come

Their loving puts us to sleep

And brings in the day with joy"

By Emily W

 "Beautiful rivers

The moon shining its bright light

Leaves blowing off trees

Everywhere covered with grass

The wind blowing in silence"

By Frank A

 "In the night you see

The person you look after

But he escapes you

He seeks the light you can't find

And disappears in the west"

By Jenny T

 "On this autumn day

Lie leaves falling to the ground

The wind is blowing

Soft sorrows are being heard

While love is in the deep air"

By Jia Yin C

 "Grounds filled with snow

Cherry blossoms bloom in spring

Summer is a break

Leaves falling down with sadness

Seasons with me all the time"

By Joshua P

 "As the moon goes down

And the sun is rising up

Your eyes sparkle more

Is this actually a dream

Or is this truly beauty"

By Jules C

 "I see the white snow

Covering the mountain top

Sparkling in the sun

Reminding me of the clouds

That fly high above me"

By Justin H

 "Wonderful winter

Where trees are covered in snow

Where rivers are cold

Where children play in the snow

It is the coldest season"

By Kenya R

 "Looking at the sun

Sunlight spreads through the world

Shining in my eyes

The nature is giving peace

Giving me joy everyday"

By Kevin T

 "Leaves blow in the wind

Beautiful like a rainbow

Not stopping for breaks

They're forced against their will

They continue their great show"

By Lucie G

 "The breeze in your hair

Wind brushing your sun-warmed face

Slight rustle of leaves

Here I want to be always

With gentle sun on my skin"

By Miles Y

 "So softly the moon sits

Soft as the feathers of a chick

Smooth like the colors

Painted by the sun setting

On a warm country evening"

By Mohammed A

 "Carefully I walk

Trying so hard to be brave

They all see my fear

Dark glasses cover their eyes

As mine flow over with tears"

By Nathaly M

 "This love that rises

Me up and this hope that always

Comes by my dreams

Telling me

To have no pain in myself"

By Paige B

 "I stare straight ahead

Thinking what lies before me

Water shimmering

The trees are whistling to me

Sun shining bright and yellow"

By Qian Mei G

"My heart is aching

Cherry blossoms falling down

The wind is blowing

Is there a way to find you

From below here and up there"
