As soft as silk, as light as a feather,
melting as soon as it reaches your palm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snow is a universe, small and crowded,
at the edge of destruction in my fiery palm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a liquid, a solid, a gas,
floating slowly down, down, down,
just waiting to reach the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the snow slowly soaks into the ground,
it helps every plant grow,
turning into H\u2082O.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lightning<\/strong> Above the skies, The Icy Battlefield<\/strong> As I fall down, I hear sticks slap, and then I hear a clap. Snow sneaks quickly like a snow tiger. Snow, snow, snow! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lightning<\/strong> Zap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thud! <\/p>\n\n\n\n August is Poetry Month, and in the Junior School we have our annual Poetry Recitation Competition held to coincide with this celebration.

A heart of stone.
A raging storm awaits alone.
With a flash at the speed of light.
Does not fear to freely fight.
Does not fear to strike the bone.
Now shock the others alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
by Archer A<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I fall, I hear it hit iron, and after that, a roaring siren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snow is a drop of water falling from the sky.
Sometimes it looks like a cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snow is like a bag of flour raining down,
and when you see it, you never frown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lightning lurks loudly on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As dangerous as a hungry hippo.
Smells like smoke sizzling out of the ground.
As fast as a peregrine.
As loud as a lion’s roar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lightning lurks loudly on the floor.
Zap!
Bam!
Thud!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2026\/08\/1-1.png\")
