The Dark Forest (Kaitlin Zhang, 7 years old)

It was a dark and chilly night

in the forest where the sky was

as dark as the dark blue river.

The cats’ fur and paws

were as cold as the snow.

The glimmering moon resembled a pancake.

The cats’ tails swirled around in the soft breeze.

The clouds were dark,

The night animals came out

and there will be more prey soon.
