Fifth Grade Poems:
The cat waits for prey A baby rabbit
Quietly climbing the tree Is jumping for a carrot
Ready to attack birds Because it is small

Water flowing fast Birds sing and bugs fly
Pigeons drinking in the creek Wind blows and water flows
Enjoy the water Leaves fall flowers grow tall

See giant bobcat Dolphins are splashing
Moves like a shadow through frost Turtles swim through warm waters
Will bobcats survive? Waves are rising high

Know the trees are limp. Trees all around me
I see that fall is coming. Walking though the tall forest
Time to play in leaves Nature is pretty

Your friends are your whole life Trees and leaves dancing around
With you everywhere Cool winds blow my hair
