Nighttime Butterfly
by Paul Kaddis, age 12
Butterfly, Butterfly, fly high. Show your colorful wings in the sky. Your thin wings flap
quietly. Soothing sounds in the air, now you’re here, now you’re there. Swish swash goes
your wings, you land on a flower while the breeze air whistles on you. The bright moon is
out and shines on you. After a while, you prepare flight. Drip drap starts the rain. Your
wings get wet, you fly away. I drift asleep and wake up to see a caterpillar on the wet
leaves. Butterfly, Butterfly, goodbye
Snowy Day
by Paul Kaddis, age 12
The white snow,
Oh,
How you are a fluffy blanket to the ground!
The hot sun shines on you,
You don’t seem to care.
A breeze comes through,
You don’t seem to care.
Noises all around,
You don’t seem to care.
I stomp and stomp,
It seems as if I am sinking,
You don’t seem to care.
Oh, snow you are like a never ending road.
The next day it rains.
You freeze up.
You seem to care!
