The Daily Poetical
Here is a Harry Potter Ode (Magical.... suitable for Halloween)
Ode to Harry Potter Book
Journey's of Harry Potter
Sitting on the shelf
I pick up
The heavy book
Cover ripped and folded
But somehow still smooth
Thick as a dictionary
As I open the doors
To another universe.
Smells of Hogwarts
Drift into my head
The familiar scent of the pages
Brings back the adventures
And I start to read.
I can hear Harry's british accent
Mad-Eye Moddy's grumbling voice
Spells being cast left and right
I can taste the Welcoming Feast
And the chocolate frogs.
The suspenseful story intrigues me
Untill I am lost
In a magical world.

Halloween Themed Poems
Candy
Covered in sugar,
Always need more-
Never anough,
Dentists nightmare, but to us, just
Yummy

All Hallow's Night
by Lizzette Woodworth Reese
Two things I did on Hallow's Night;-
Made my house April-clear,
Left open wide my door
To the ghosts of the year.
Than one came in. Across the room
It stood up long and fair-
The ghost that was myself-
And gave me stare for stare.
Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins,
Sitting on a gate
The forst one said "Oh, my it's getting late!"
The second said "There are witches in the air."
The third one said "But we don't care."
The fourth one said "Let's run, run, run."
The fifth one said "Get ready for some fun!"
Then WOOOSHH went the wind and out went to lights
and the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

Piano-Off- Great job Ada and Zach!!! They both played three pieces. The judges, there ended up being like 10, heard the pieces blind-folded and than voted wich piece they liked the best, #1 or #2. Even with the blindfolds, everyone (or almost everyone) knew who was who, even when they switched number's on the last one.
Jaguar Jog- Great job to everyone who ran!!!
Band Day- Band Day was really fun, but we didn't play in the stands because it was supposed to rain (even though it didn't).

The Daily Poetical
Here is an ode by Kayla. In the next Daily Poetical we will feature one by Alyssa about the Harry Potter books.
Ode to my Skis
I rush out
Of bed to get dressed, Run up the stairs to have
A quick breakfast bar
Mmm. All done, run run ahh the first ray of sunlight
It fills me with joy
Then I see the skis glistening with dew in the early morning light.
The lake as smooth as glass
Says to me
"Come, come, and please shatter me"
As I touch the skis it's like the taste of
Happiness;
Joy, love, and familiar all in one.
The cool, soft
And snug boot wraps my foot
With a warm hug as I slide into it.
I grasp the cool, rubber handle
Ready to go
As I hear the rumble of the motor
"1, 2, 3, Go!" I feel the drops of water rolling
Off my legs
The air rushes through my hair
Lifting my spirits.
As I take a deep breath
I feel so good I could fly
Then I hear the skis lift again
From the water like a suction cup
Beng pulled off
I'm a bird who rules the sky
As I leap and glide all over
Outside, inside, and outside again, Back and forth
I feel the water
Splashing
My face as I think
6:45 was so worth it.
Than as I glide in
Like a ton of bricks
The smell of pancakes
Welcomes me back
From a day's well done
That is untill the lake clears Again
When the sun is low in the pale cloudless blue sky tommorrow another day.
by Kayla
The Dog, Cat, and Pig Section-by Maggie
Maggie writes a series of books called the Dog, Cat, and Pig series. She has great illustrations,
but I can't show them.
Dog, Cat, and Pig #1
One day, Dog, Pig, and Cat went to find each other. But because they all went looking for each other they were out of luck. Then they all heard a scary sound. It sounded like this: hisss hiss hiss, heee heee heee, Aaaa. And they all ran to Dog's house. Ahhhhhhhh! The End.
Poem of the Issue
Hope is the Thing with Feathers by Emily Dickonson
Hope is the thing with feathers, That perches on the soul, And sings the tune without words, And never stops at all.
And sweetest in the gale is heard, And sore must be the storm, That could abash the little bird, That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremety, It asked a crumb from me.
