NGC Youth Poetry Contest 2007: 

Nature & Me

            National Capital Area Garden Clubs, Inc. is

pleased to present entries in the NGC Youth Poetry Contest. 

I planted seeds

But there are still weeds.

So I got them all out

And I didn’t even pout.

                        Gavin, 1^st Grade

There are different kinds of trees

Around the world.

Some leaves on the trees are

Dried and curled.

Plants are very beautiful

In the hot summer.

But there were weeds,

And that was a bummer.

The sky is very blue

With the birds flying high

And it makes me want

To be able to fly.

                        Hunter, 2^nd Grade

Natural ice

Adventure in hail

Tractors plowing snow

Unexpected things in fog

Raining and sleeting

Earthquakes shaking your bones

And blurry windy hurricanes

Nasty windy tornadoes

Drowning in a flood

Making tsunamis

Ending of Natures storms

                                                                              Kaitlyn, 3^rd Grade

Nature

And

Trees

Under Red hot sun

Early morning

And

Nothing

Does

Migrate

Early
