=Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening= Outside trembling in the cold. I should've never went I was told.

Dark in the woods without any prey. Sleeping on the freezing floor all day.

Couldn't find my home. It looked like I was in the cold, cold Rome.

I had a long way to go. They told me so.

=The Pasture=

The Slope By Timothy Hatley Mrs. Martin's Class Detroit, MI Inspired by: The Pasture By Robert Frost

It's deep and steep I go down so fast That I see no grass Follow me if you would As a speed down the slope Shreading snow and from my tracks As children threw rocks at my back Follow me if you would

=Street Music= Calm Music By Daniel Dixon Mrs. Martin's Class Detroit, MI Inspired by: Street Music By Arnold Adoff

I am all alone listening to calm music, But Man Stomping A Comes In. He turns off the music.

I turn on the music, He turns off the music.

I turn on the music, The boom box goes B O O M!!!!!!!!!!

Calm music.
