 Sapphire Days
by Luke, fifth grade poet
On my sapphire day,
I'm brown and mellow,
and I just want to lie on my pillow.
I'm a restless sky blue rainbow.
I mosey where there's mysteries.
As the ruby day fades to dingo,
the summer's ocean turns to sapphire.
I lie on the peaceful sparkling ocean sand and rest.

 Colored Days
by Luke, sixth grade poet
On my yellow days I'm filled with joy and excitement.
I leap from the couch and run outside.
I fall asleep under the warm sun.
All is peaceful.
On my black days I'm angry.
I roar with hatred as I thwomp through the doorframe.
Then my day clears up as school ends.
I'm a dog filled with happiness.
On my gray days I'm emotionless.
I wait for something very interesting to happen.
If something does happen, I'm a curious little bug.
If not, I slip back into the gray.
