“Nothing Gold Can Stay”by Robert Frost

Chapter 5—The Outsiders

Nature’s first green is gold,Her hardest hue to hold.Her early leaf’s a flower;But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.So Eden sank to grief,So dawn goes down to day.Nothing gold can stay.

“Nothing Lasts Forever” by Jake T.

Fresh cut grass means baseball season is here.The team is so excited, and they have no fear.For nine innings we’ll hit and field the ball,but if it’s raining and windy, it’s a tough call.They continue to play through the summer months as well,Loving the game for sure, but only time will tell.Playing through middle school, high school, and maybe college too,Eventually, all players will feel like they must find something else to do.

“Star Life” by Alyssa M.

Stars are very brightShining their blinding, vibrant light

Colorful and free in open spaceStanding alone in their own place

Years pass in the silent darkThe star’s light being the only mark

After a while a star’s energy gets lowTo desperately save itself, it grows

The star starts to burn up and exposedEven stars don’t last forever
