Our+writing

If you decide to try writing about light, heavy, fast, slow things. Paste them in here. Remember no more that 14 pt (except titles) and put your school and first name after them. I have included a couple just to start you thinking. Feel free to add an illustration.

By Carl Sandburg

The **fog** comes on little cat feet.

It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.

Swift Things Are Beautiful
by Elizabeth Coatsworth Swift things are beautiful: Swallows and deer And lightning that falls Bright-veined and clear, Rivers and meteors, Wind in the wheat, The strong-withered horse, The runner's sure feet. And slow things are beautiful: The closing of day, The pause of the wave That curves downward to spray, The ember that crumbles, The opening flower, And the ox that moves on In the quiet of power.

I’m making a pizza the size of the sun, A pizza that’s sure to weigh more than a ton, A pizza too massive to pick up and toss, A pizza resplendent with oceans of sauce.

I’m topping my pizza with mountains of cheese, With acres of peppers, pimentos, and peas, With mushrooms, tomatoes, and sausage galore, With every last olive they had in the store.

My pizza is sure to be one of a kind, My pizza will leave other pizzas behind, My pizza will be a delectable treat That all who love pizza are welcome to eat.

The oven is hot, I believe it will take A year and a half for my pizza to bake. I can hardly wait till my pizza is done, My wonderful pizza the size of the sun.
