Animals I Love An Ant ate an apple Bats squeak at night Cats purring like a rumbling tummy Dogs screeching at the moon Elephants spraying water and making it rain cats and dogs Foxs quietly hunt their prey Goats eating everything in sight Horses running into the sunset Ibis’ walking in the shallow water Jumbo shrimps are more giant but still challenging to see Kangaroos jumping in Australia with their Joeys (baby kangaroos) Lions roaring and claiming their name as the king of the jungle Monkeys throwing bananas at animals and then running away Newts wiggling up a tree Octopuses camouflage to hide from their prey Parrots repeating whatever we say Quils showing off the feather on their head Rabbits jump to escape the predators' Snakes slithering in the tall grass ready to strike Tigers roaring at its prey Urials majestically looking into the sky Vultures swooping in to eat the remains of their hunted prey Whales calling out to other animals in the sea Xemas flying of the water like seagulls Yaks keeping warm in the winter with Their furry coat Zebras galloping the intense heat

 Opposite Poem

I love to go on a hike,

I dislike when I fall off my bike.

I have great family and friends,

I want a cake that never ends.

My friends say I am kind of crazy,

My family says I can be lazy.

One day I will drive a car, 

I will never be a movie star.

My favorite foods are pizza and cake,

I will never eat a snake.

I feel sad when I am left alone,

I feel happy when there is an ice cream cone.

I feel safe when I know the cost,

I feel scared when I am lost.

I am Poem

I am a daughter, a sister

I wonder why school is so important

I hear SCREEECHHHHHH

I see my bed

I want to go home

I pretend to not hear people calling me

I feel excited for summer

I touch grass

I worry about my grades

I cry never

I am a daughter, a sister

I understand

I say I wonder what the future brings

I dream of doing big things 

I try to never accuse that simplicity will hold value

I am a daughter, a sister
