Another great effort from Houston - are you understanding the type of work that Writers in the Schools does yet? After half of the month, it's very clear to me just how much work the writers that are in residencies there must be working.
The River's Heart by Maya (a 4th grader)
The waves of a calm river
Bashing the deep sea green
Hugging the shore and the trees
The leaves whispering
Into the water
Its fast-rushing waves
Dashing to the waterfall
Seaweed draping the river’s floor
And the splashing of its heart
Splish, splash, splash.
What a great last line: "Splish, splash, splash." I love that line - the innocence behind the words chosen.
