EROS COME ALONG

The plane crashed, the buildings went down, the people screamed, the people cried. The buildings fell like giant dominoes. The people yelled like baby dinosaurs. Then that’s when the heroes came. The heroes tried to save them all, but they could only do the best they could do. They tried to get the people out, but they could only get a few of them. It was a terrible day for all the people all over the world.

IF I WERE THE PACIFIC

If I were the Pacific
People would
Swim through me
Every day.
I’d sway with the wind.

My children: Hawaii,
Japan, and Wake Island
Would all
Ride on my back.

I’d play with the Arctic,
Talk with the U.S.
Wave to the world.
