I Swallowed Our Playground
I swallowed our playground.
It tasted like plastic.
It was sooooooooo
heavy. It smelled
like sweat. It sounded
like rusty metal.
It looked like dirt.

I will not eat a
phone.
The glass is sharp
like a knife.
I can’t call my mom
because my phone
is in my belly.

Dragon
I wake up from the
sound of screaming I
run to a tree nearby.
A dragon above the
clouds. I see the wing
in the sky fire is coming
down like rain drops.

red is the falling of anger.
red is the taste of sweet watermelon.

red smells like cinnamon.
red feels like the hot sun.

If I ate the moon I would

Cow in the field was laying
under an apple tree and had black

was very stinky and his name
was Cowy.

Bikes taste weird bikes are
fast going down hills. They’re
nice and fun to eat.
Eat them downhill eat them
uphill. Eat them every-
where.

December
Snow comes from the sky so
bright and white. As shivers go down
my spine brrrrr. Snowballs going
around and around the sky. Hot cocoa
goes down my throat.
