Where Is She? by Nate Seaton
Where is she?
Has she gone to the heavens
above us?
Or has she run away to
join the circus far away?
Was she loved or mistreated?
I want her back,
I want her back,
I want her back...
Courtney Anne Hallinan is a ten year old 4th grader from El Granada Elementary School.
To The Sun by Courtney Anne Hallinan
Golden flowers shining,
shining to the sun,
almost like armor,
shining to the sky.
Water lillies glistening,
glistening to the sun,
almost like fish scales,
glistening to the sun.
