Chocolates and Pastries<br />
By Brandon Leon<br />
Pastries so wide and big.<br />
Did you want to eat me? I think you did.<br />
Chocolates so good and sweet.<br />
So many sizes and so many shapes<br />
and I wonder what should I make?<br />
Chocolate swirls and pastries cakes.<br />
Is there any choices?<br />
What should I make?<br />

This Little Memento<br />
By Eliza Leilanni Munoz<br />
She’s gone and all I have is<br />
this.<br />
A little picture of her that I<br />
kiss goodnight.<br />
I put it under my pillow to save,<br />
to keep,<br />
to love.<br />
I miss the way she would<br />
dance around in all the rooms.<br />
I always think she will come<br />
back but I’m so very wrong.<br />

The Face Inside of Me<br />
By Brandon Leon<br />
My face has hair that is black<br />
and soft. I have glasses on<br />
my face which I would see<br />
with my brown eyes. And<br />
my teeth which are clean<br />
and shiny sometimes. And I<br />
feel about my face that it is<br />
shiny like a red apple that sparkles.<br />
The Wondrous Ashley<br />
By Eliza Leilanni Munoz<br />
Pow! Right in the kisser.<br />
Yes, I hit the dog but she growled at me.<br />
I’m not scared of anyone or anything...<br />
except the “Look”... So I say, “Shut up. Leave<br />
me alone!”<br />
and walk off.<br />
Yeah, I curse but my dad does it all the time.<br />
So I’m good.<br />
Sure I get hit by Billy or Nina<br />
but they still love me because....<br />
I’M ASHLEY!! Or<br />
