Maddie won an award for a poem that she wrote and entered in the Reflections contest at school called "Autumn Time". The theme was "WOW" and so she wrote about Fall, her favorite time of year. She is so incredibly talented, this is not the first poem that she has written, but it's the first poem that she has won something for. We are very proud of her! Way to go Maddie!
Autumn Time
By Madison Beck
In Autumn you can feel the sun on your face,
The wind on your cheek, as if in a race.
That soft scented smell that flows through the breeze,
Something whispers in your ear softly murmuring with ease
Saying fall is finally here, I feel so alive
I’m so happy I feel like I could fly!
It makes me go WOW!!
Just thinking about how the leaves change color,
And gently falling down, one after another.
With a chill in the air, and the trees so fair,
It’s like it’s making music everywhere!
I heard people sing and the church bell ring,
I could see beauty in everything!
It makes me go WOW!
With a rustle in the bushes and a feeling so true,
I feel peace and silence, how about you?
When it becomes nighttime, and we go to bed,
I dream good dreams inside my head.
I wake in the morning and go outside,
I look around and what do I find?
I see the grass glistening with morning dew,
Birds soaring through the sky, singing sweet songs too.
I can’t even imagine a better day,
And to know that Autumn is on its way.
So with happiness and joy I give a cheer
To know that fall is finally here! WOW!!
