ITALY(I REMEMBER POEM)

I remember the blistering hot day, I stumbled on my aching legs, for what

seemed like miles, in the deathly sunshine of Pompeii.

I remember the cool breeze and the soothing water on my face as we

scampered around Capri in a rental boat.

I remember being at the summit of the colossal volcano Mt. Vesuvius, the murderer

of Pompeii.

I remember the glowing blue water, the Blue Grotto under Capri, miniature boats

dwelling with excited tourists, expecting to get a glimpse of the water.

I remember the cheetah-like lizards zooming around my Azi Maria’s farm, and

her little chubby dog barking as my brother and I cornered some helpless lizards.

NATURE’S CALL(HAIKU)

Tweet, tweet, chirp, chirp, chirp

Rustling leaves in the treesBirds say spring is back

BIKES(SHAPE POEM)

SUMMER(FREE VERSE)

I like the summer, burning hot days

A time to play outsideThe snow is gone

The ground is clear Stay outdoors,

In the beautiful sunExplore a book,Ride your bike

Because summer is finally here!
