The Late Gilly
Buttons
Buttons come in all shapes and sizes.
A button with one eye is rare.
A button with two is common.
A button with three is not often discovered,
While a button with four is easily found.
Buttons have eyes that show their expressions,
Since they lack the mouths to speak.

Just for fun
Ocean
The ocean can't see,
So it won't look at me.
That's so mean, GEE!
The ocean can't fly,
So it can't be in the sky.
I'm so glad, OH MY!
The ocean can't eat,
So it can't chew up a treat.
Even with all that RAW MEAT.

A ceremony of tea

Kivi
Hi, I am called Kivi but my nickname is Silk. I'm 2 years old and am the youngest in my family. My parents are slim and white, streaked through with black. My brother leaves for long periods at a time to visit other islands. He always brings back treasures. Recently he brought back some shiny, bendable paper that reflects the sunlight, which Mufatu likes.
My brother is quite tall for our species; he towers over me. He stands 11 inches tall and every inch is crammed with short, matted feathers. My feathers are clean, which leads to my pride of them. My feathers are different from my family's. They are white on my chest and the upper part of my wings, also my head. The middle part of my wings are grey and the bottom section of them is brown. My eyes are a calming shade of green, always showing kindness.
I'm friends with Uri the dog. Together on Saturday evenings, after we have eaten the food Mufatu made us, we play a game of chase. I am also friends with a strange bird of paradise named Mimi. She has an odd looking tail that looks like a broom. On top of her head are three large feathers that stick out like an Indian's Mohawk. She has a spunky attitude.
My diet consists of mainly my favorite foods. I enjoy eating the oil from coconuts. My very favorite food is fish that Uri likes also. Sometimes we fight over them and when we do, Mufatu catches another, one for me and one for Uri. I am fine with occasional pears and chestnuts I dropped on stones but I do not enjoy them as much as fish, fresh fish .
My favorite activity is playing a game Uri made up called Burrowing Owl. We pick a place to start and a place to end. Whoever emerges from their hole first wins the entire game. Because of this game there are lots of holes in the landscape of our island. Don't step in one! By the way, I advise you to not play this game if you don't like to get dirty. But otherwise, get out there and play this long, fun and maybe sometimes tedious burrowing game that my friend Uri and I made up.(Give all the credit to Uri, I didn't make it up!)
I do not like being soaked in sea water. If I am ever ridiculous enough to do that, I will not be able to fly for a day. But I do like eating peaches, but not roasted. If they are, I always throw them up, which, as you know, is definetly not a fun experience like going to a carnival at all.
Here are ten adjectives that describe me:
Funny
Fearful
Fast
Smart
Happy
Silky
Alert
Pretty
Sassy
Protective

My Papa Jim
Papa Jim is a slight, nice man with brown eyes that glitter like stars. He has grey hair and gentle creases around his joyful smile. I think that his favorite color is blue, for he wears it quite often.
Papa Jim puts others before himself. I believe he likes to hear me laugh. He enjoys eating at Dewey's and seeing our dog Maya. He also likes it when we read our work from school. When I depart from my house to arrive at his work, I either draw or watch a movie.
Papa Jim can make friends with anyone. He likes to talk about baseball to my dad. He always talks about what to do in the future, and also plans ahead. When he tells me to test my blood he speaks softly and after all my shots he kisses me. When it comes to safety, nobody is more concerned than Papa Jim. He is a great christian leader who applies the Word to his life.
But my favorite thing about Papa Jim is that no matter what I do, he still loves me.
