2010 First Place Sunflower by Cole Grimes 6th grade poet - Joy Elementary Schoool Sunflowers so beautiful and majestic in the delightful heat of the suns powerful rays Its crunchy seeds a delicious treat It's petals as bright as a shiny star Everything around it seems petty and unimporant compared to its mighty strength and height
2010 Second Place DELPHINIUMS by Robin Baker 2nd grade poet - Salcha Elementary School Delphiniums grow so tall They grow up to the sky They see so high, so they say hi, They are my favorite garden flowers, Cause they grow taller than me and say hi when I walk by They smell so good after all. We don't have a dog to trample through them all so we get to keep them till the fall.
2010 Third Place A LITTLE DANDELION by Ethan Gentleman 3rd grade poet - B.E.S.T. Home School A little yellow dandelion growing in the field He made friends with other flowers playing with them for several hours Sometimes happy sometimes blue Happy when he plays with you When he's alone he is blue He wants a friend to be there too A pasqueflower is his best friend until their heads become seeds at the end Then their seeds blow in the wind and into the grass they grow again.
2010 Honorable Mention Forget- Me-Not's by Emilie Grimes 3rd grade poet - Joy Elementary School Forget-me-not's, they say the message of someone who has passed on They are the color of sad blue eyes They are a friend of the kids They are a friend of the men They are a friend of the women They are a friend of the earth Yes, that is what a forget-me-not does It says the message of someone who has passed on.
