I am like a waterfall Clear and deep. The fast and swiftness Run like my feet. The depth and pressure, Is like a treasure Of freedom. Nobody can stop a waterfall From falling, Nobody can stop me From what I am doing. No one owns a waterfall No one owns me. Papri, Age 12 |

If you hurt someone today, Then pain will follow you on your way, Because you've started a cycle of sorrow, That person may hurt someone tomorrow, It's a full circle that always returns, And you'll reap whatever it turns Then you'll know that you've lost your tomorrow, To this hopeless cycle of sorrow. Amy Walls, Age 12 |

| Vindictiveness |
| Fire and anger played together, Agony and pain are one forever. The war was defeat and arrived dismay All was lost and had astray. She had silently escaped the endless death flood Forgetting her loved ones, her own flesh and blood. The whispers of the wind, twirled calmly through her hair The twinkling of the stars, glinted in her stare. The world seemed to be coming at a rapid end Selfishness and cruelness left one alone to fend. The desperate cries of help, tormented her head The terror screams of plea, gradually became dead. Papri, Age 14 |
| The Ocean's Best Features |
| The ocean is deep, blue and cool, The ocean is a never-ending pool; The ocean waves splash against the rocks, The ocean ends at the docks; The ocean's roar is like a beast, The ocean is where I like to feast; The ocean is a place for the Titanic, The ocean is where many find romantic; The ocean is home for shrimp and fish, The ocean be my home is what I wish. Papri, Age 13 |
