2009 Fourth Grade Winning Poems

Back to List of Winners

Night’s Song

To the rhythm of a bubbling stream,

Sounds drift out of the night.

Hooting from the creature who knows the

sky by heart.

Howling from a hunter who stalks

in the woods.

Whistling from the force that brings

a chill in the darkness

Rustling from the pillars of

The forest swaying in the breeze.

Hissing from a coiled shadow

in the night

And thunder from a storm

that brings a new day.
