POETRY
Magic by Katie P.
Magic has wings.
It is all around us,
Like kids on swings
Their joy creates it.
Magic is in the trees,
Which are slowly dying
In the air and on the breeze
We cannot get rid of magic.
Science has tried to make it stop
They don't believe it's real
But they spin like a great big top
To find the magic we see.
Atlantis by Ima Fish
Atlantis has never been found
I hope it stays that way
For Atlantis holds the mystery
And magic of the ocean
And you humans have ruined much
Of nature's magic
