Silly Stuff for Kids

July Poetry Winner:

The Relaxation of Summer

By Annika Hodges, 12 years old
Salem, Oregon

The light sprays upon my face.
I sit out on the lawn
in the sunny summer day.
The flowers are growing strong
like warriors at fight.
The green grass and happy kids
are always quite a sight,
the water fights and
never ending fun,
forever resting out in
the hot, hot sun.

Bluebirds are flying all around
As the Relaxation of Summer is found.

(Editorial commentary: Ah, a perfect summer poem. Congratulations, Annika!)
