The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as dark as 9:00 at night,
feels as soft as a bed just put in the store,
sounds as quiet as a bear in hibernation,
smells as soft as sheets carefully folded out of the dryer,
tastes like the layers of a cake carefully laid on a plate.

The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as cold as winter but as warm as summer
and as bright as leaves fluttering down like birds,
feels as fun as jumping into the pool
and like the flying light sand at the beach,
sounds like splashing into a pool in the summer
and hearing the cannonball splash,
smells as plain as water
or as rich as warm breeze in summer,
tastes as cheesy as pizza.

My Wish
I wish that I
could fly as high
as the sky,
that I could make history!
I could make those frowns
turn upside down
and into happy thoughts
in the whistling breeze.
It would feel like the ocean
when it’s high tide.

The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as peaceful and cozy as a cat slowly purring
in her comfy afternoon nap,
feels as happy and playful as a little, cute, loving hamster
crawling around in his cage,
sounds as beautiful and free as an aquamarine ocean
washing up on the beach,
smells as graceful and breezy as a patch of red roses,
tastes as juicy and tasty as three jumping, joyful pieces of bacon.
Robert H
My Dream
I dreamt I was sizzling, jumping bacon.
I would give joy to all the other foods.
They would jump with me like a happy child
on a bouncy trampoline.
Food jumping everywhere,
wave your hands up in the air!
Bouncing, bouncing in the sky,
the best thing is they’re as tasty as pie!
Pie in the sky!
Robert H
The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as scaly as a slithery snake in the smooth sand,
feels as strong as the touch of a trusty fishing rod
bending into the salt water,
sounds as special as the splash of a fish
in the sparkling blue water,
smells as equal as freedom in the wind
with two hands holding each other,
tastes as adventurous as a good book
in the woods on the rocks by a stream.
Gib R
I Love
I love the sea – it flows so smooth,
I love the fish – they jump so high,
I love the animals – they’re so camouflaged,
I love my friends – we play so much.
I love the power of love.
I love being able to read.
I love the power to feel safe.
I love being free!
Be free!
Gib R
My Dream
I dream for world peace –
it will be perfect.
If the world has peace,
the universe must.
If the universe has peace,
everywhere must.
If everywhere has peace,
everyone must.

The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as energetic as a bunny hopping in a meadow with its friends,
feels as soft as a dog,
as excited as me on Christmas morning
and as glittering as dandelions growing together in the sunlight,
sounds as booming as thunder in the afternoon on Sundays,
smells as wonderful as blankets
and strawberries in the morning,
tastes as juicy as watermelon
and as exquisite as seeing Mom in the morning.
Garrison G
The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as shiny as Legos glowing in the sun,
sounds as adventurous as space,
tastes as ice cold as blueberry and cherry popsicles
twisted together,
feels as watery as a pool when you splash gracefully,
smells as luscious as freshly picked cherries.

My Dream for the World
My dream for the world…
looks as colorful as a butterfly,
feels as smooth as chocolate,
sounds as crackling as a campfire,
smells as sweet as a lollipop,
tastes as soft as a soft pretzel.
My dream is as tasty as cheeseburgers,
smells as strong as spice for a spice cake,
feels as smooth as a new piece of paper,
sounds as crunchy as leaves in fall.
Kieran O
The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as small and smooth as a pebble,
feels as crunchy as light yellow buttered popcorn being popped,
sounds as scratchy as a printer,
smells as inky as a new marker,
tastes as squishy and yummy as a cookie just out of the oven.
Kieran O
The World of My Dreams
I dreamt I was chocolate-covered candy.
I would fly into the sky.
I would be the hero of my color-coated dreams.
I would fix the frowning clouds.
A dream is like a grain of sand that never ends.
My dream looks like magic flying,
as graceful as a feather on my nose,
and relaxing like when I am sleeping on a star,
and sounds as beautiful as a freezing breeze.
Josh M
The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as loving (yet destructive) as my two brothers
lying in bed whining for chocolate milk,
sounds as comforting as the meow of a stray cat,
tastes as luscious as a taco sitting in the oven
just warm and ready to eat
or hot, crispy bacon sizzling in the pan on a cold Sunday morning,
smells as delightful as cookies.
Zach H
Things I Love
I love to see my lizard after I come back from my mom’s house.
I love to hear the fire crackling
on a cold winter night
with a cup of hot chocolate in my hand.
I love to taste pizza and nachos on a Friday night.
I love the smell of the first day of summer.
I love to touch my dog after I have not seen her.
Hunter F
The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as luscious as a blueberry ice cream sundae
just being served on a blizzarding cold plate,
feels as blazing hot as the summer sun
on a gorgeous evening in June,
sounds as piercing as my smoke detector
right after my toaster exploded into tiny smithereens,
smells as tasty as my dad’s banana bread
baking in the bright early morning,
tastes as scrumptious as a strawberry milkshake
with chocolate, whipped cream
and a plump, juicy cherry on top.

Dream Poem
My dream is to become a football player.
It looks as snowy and white as a husky running as fast as it can.
It feels as puny and little as a mouse with white fur.
It sounds as giant and loud as a ginormous giant.
It smells as boiling and hot as fondue on a Friday night.
It tastes as yummy and tasty as nachos with beef and cheese.
It feels as good as the gleaming sunshine.
My dream is to become a football player.

Dreams
Dreams carry you to places no one else can go
except you
as your dreams take you on an adventure.
Dreams can take you,
carry you,
to places you never thought of
but dreamed of.
Dreams fill life in
where flower dreams can grow.
Dreams can grow like plants.

The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as beautiful as a red rose in a garden blooming,
feels as soft as a cotton stuffed animal floating in a cloud,
sounds as loud as thunder in the dark clouds,
smells as wonderful as a chocolate sundae,
tastes as soft as donuts with milk.
My wish is to walk over the moon
and lie in the clouds
and sail across the world.
The things I love:
swimming in a pool
lounging like celebrities
playing football in my green, big, wonderful yard
picking blooming roses for my mom
looking at the extraordinary pictures in clouds.
Henry K
Cloud Pictures
Look at those beautiful lemon clouds!
They’re wonderful!
They’re blooming out of the sparkling sun
in a peach sunset.
It’s like a brand new planet,
like Mercury and Saturn combined together.
It would be extraordinary,
like a wild lion in the sunlight.
Mars exploding blood red like a fire burned with ashes
and wonderful stuff
like Mars exploding and Venus happily together.
Henry K
How the World Could Be
The world could have roses blooming heavily
in every spot in the world
with Florida’s beautiful palm trees
in the wonderful clouds shining on the flowers
in my mom’s beautiful rose garden,
and a bit of sunset on it would be beautiful.
Henry K
How flexible is a squishy rubber band!
It can crunch up like a grayish roly-poly
under a rock squished as thin as paper.
Little baby toes squiggle
like a silvery snake trying to get through a rock at the zoo
trying to escape from the zoo in the moonlight.
A soft cushion in the blue soft clouds
like cotton caught in the clouds.
A block is as hard as a rock
in the loud banging thunder
at night in the freaky woods
in a marching band in a bear’s cave
Roller coasters are fast like lightning in the woods,
like Speedy Gonzales running in the vast woods
like a star.
Henry K

The world of my dreams…
looks as furry as a poodle running around my backyard
and as smooth as a shiny dolphin,
feels as silky as my dog’s black and brown fur,
sounds as splashing as a rocky waterfall,
smells as delicious and exciting as my mom’s cooking,
tastes as spicy and cold as freshly made sushi.
Callum B
The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as skillful as a power forward on a basketball court,
feels as orange as a bouncy basketball dunking into the basket,
sounds as cheering as a crowd when the home team wins,
smells as sweet and juicy as cotton candy all over the place,
tastes as red, green, purple and yellow as big Sweetarts.

looks as sunny as a place where it’s summer every day,

tastes as cold as water ice on a warm day.

My Dream for the World
My dream for the world…
looks as bright and hot as the sun,

tastes as yummy as a freshly baked brownie.
Charlie P
The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as yellow and green as a golden retriever,
feels like the air is changing colors
when someone went through the air,
sounds like a bird chirping through the sky
or an eagle soaring through the air,
smells like the Titans marching to find food,
tastes like a bone of a dinosaur coming alive
and marching to a different world.
Jacob P
My Dream for the World
My dream for the world…
looks as huge as a flying dinosaur sweeping down to have a feast,
sounds like an owl hooting through the window,
feels as flying as a blue fish with magic wings of blue,
tastes like a magic cheeseburger that can make thousands of cheeseburgers,
smells as hungry as popcorn.
Jacob P
The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as vast as the rainbow universe
and as fierce as a wild buffalo gleaming in the twilight,
feels as snuggly as a sheltered resting home
or a blue, warm breeze swaying in the air,
sounds as peaceful as a graceful butterfly
or as strange as a new sound,
smells as lovely as a flower’s sweet scent,
tastes as blue as a sweet ocean
or as wonderful as an atomic taste of Reese’s.
Billy H
The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as amazing as a Flyers game,
feels as soft as a fluffy pillow,
sounds as loud as thunder,
smells as sweet as a chocolate Hershey bar,
tastes as cheesy as sausage pizza.

Some day I will make it to the NHL.
Some day I will be on the Flyers.
Some day I will be on the Mighty A team.
Someday I will be in third grade.
Someday I will graduate from high school.
Some day I will graduate from college.
Some day I will be a grown man.

looks as blue as a brook,
feels as gooey as cotton candy,
sounds as amazing as an ice cream and M&M bar,
smells as wonderful as a butterfly
and apple pie,
tastes as blue as blueberry pie,
as summery as a marshmallow,
as icy and juicy as watermelon water ice
and as smoky and cheesy as a hamburger.

The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as colorful as the sunset,
feels as soft as puffy white clouds,
sounds as low as soft music,
smells as delicious as a spaghetti dinner cooking,
tastes as fresh as homemade cookies,
is as fun as playing sports with my dad
and reading and writing all day at school.
Harrison K
The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as red as fire in the woods
or a red beetle creep-crawling across the floor,
feels as soft as the feathers on a bird soaring through the sky
and as wet as a swimming pool once you dive in,
tastes as pink as lemonade slurping in my mouth
and as sour as a piece of sour candy,
sounds as loud as dolphins splashing through the ocean
and as quiet as my two cousins sleeping,
smells as sweet as maple syrup getting poured onto a vast waffle.

The world of my dreams…
looks as bright as a lemon moon on a cold winter day,
feels as mushy as soft falling snow,
sounds as splashing as the Yellow River in China,
cool and bright and soothing,
smells as mouth-watering as my mom’s Irish soda bread
and as tasty as my dad’s lemon pie,
tastes as smooth as a watermelon on a hot summer day.
Christopher C
The World of My Dreams
The world of my dreams…
looks as exciting as a wide receiver
catching a pass and running for a touchdown,
sounds as powerful as the Penn State band at a football game
(they sound so great they could blow up my head!),
smells as splashing as yellow honey in tea,
feels as soft as red roses growing,
tastes as fun as sweet and sour Chinese chicken with rice.
