Nice Poetry
by Isabella C. (3rd grade)

I am a small child
with a big imagination.

I am a beautiful black horse
hiding in the night.

I am a dolphin jumping out of the ocean
in a sunset of fire.

I am a beautiful aroma soaring through the sky,
making the world follow me.

I am a tree growing faster
than a human’s eye blinks,
and when I’m finished growing,

I am the strongest tree in the world.

I am a building of flowers
that never falls down
because I am a building of imagination.

I am the first star to shine bright.
