Water Water. More than a substance, a liquid, a solid. More than just something you see everyday. It’s something alive, vibrant, beautiful. It’s moving, rushing, twirling. Think of the macros, so tiny and weak, Think of the crawdads, so strong and aware. Think of yourself. So able, yet so naïve. If you pollute, then you can think of yourself a failure. If you look through the lens of water, you’ll see homes, shelters and havens. Yet by littering, you kill innocent creatures down below. Do them a favor and keep their homes clean. Yanna Golubev 6th Grade Pleasant Valley Middle School Mrs. Thompson The Black Hole There is one place where all fear goes away for someone. My place is called the black hole. This place is in Clark County mountains. It’s about 15 miles away once you hit the one-lane road. Well, this place is very peaceful. Hardly anyone walks the trail. You have to walk about 5 miles over two log bridges. The landscape is mostly uphill. Well, you know when you’re there when you see the old sign that says, “black hole.” At the sign you will come to a choice to go forward or left. To find the camp site, go left, and maybe 30 feet up the trail on your right, there will be a campsite. You have to walk maybe ten feet off the trail to see the fire pit. To go to the black hole, go back to the sign and go to the left trail and follow it all the way down to the waterfall. It is so peaceful at the waterfall and even though it is loud, it’s a sight. The water under the waterfall is really dark. That’s why they call it the black hole. You can fish and swim in peace and on a hot summer day the mist of the water feels excellent. The view is breathtaking. The water is dark because the water is so deep, and on the other side of the crick, there is an overhanging cliff with a cave. Now I know where I’m going December 21! The stream is very clean, it’s fresh from Mount Hood (glacier runoff). The water is very clear and when the water goes down the rapids, the water is white. In the spring, you can see the fish advancing down the waterfall. It’s so gorgeous, the area is so amazing. Watch out for the wildlife like bears and cougars; they might eat you.

Crystal, Clean and Clear Clear water, sparkling with pride Showing off, glistening and glorified Shimmering and glowing under the sun Capturing and savoring all the fun Dancing in the cool misty air Gentle zephyr brushing through your hair Swish, swoosh, as it flows Rushing to the lake with the boats Splish, splash, as it roars Joining the amazing waterfalls Fragrant flowers and scarlet berries Meandering brook down the valleys Chirping birds gliding through the air Fascinating nature everywhere Nature is our wonderful world Beautiful, Bountiful, Powerful Keep our water crystal clean and clear Everyone would be filled with cheers Stephanie Gray Battle Ground HomeLink 6th Grade Mrs. Boyle Artwork by Tim Zherebnenko Chief Umtuch Middle School 6th Grade Ms. Peterson The Stream Running through forests lush and green There was a stream, glistening clean Touched not by men, by hill and fen Its clear, cold waters rushed unseen. Between the trees animals played While running through the dappled shade They lived there long, in numbers strong It seemed forever they would stay. And O! The tall, green, ancient trees! Whispering softly in the breeze! Many a year had seen them here Since the stream’s banks they came to seize. And then the men came, one by one Smoke from machines blocked out the sun. The life here dreads the ash it sheds Kills plants and makes animals run. So now the stream runs low and brown. Its poor population is down. Only dead trees and brackish things Cover the barren, dirty ground. We can all join together now And we can show the world how To clean the stream so we can deem Its waters fit to use somehow. Running through forests lush and green There WILL be a stream, shining clean! It’s good as new, was helped by YOU! The cold, clear water will rush free!
