Turning a new leaf<br />
By Sophia Mone<br />
The ants they crawl<br />
The leaves they fall<br />
As I turn over a new leaf<br />
The rain it pours<br />
Above the clouds, we soar<br />
As I turn over a new day<br />
The children sing<br />
As we spread our wings<br />
As we turn over a new night<br />
The rainbow shines<br />
As the bees thrive<br />
As we turn over the past<br />
The future is bright<br />
As they take flight<br />
Watching them soar<br />
Turning over a new leaf<br />

Spirits of the Skies<br />
We walk among the stars<br />
We fly throughout the<br />
night<br />
Every creature from afar<br />
Watching young ones take<br />
Flight<br />
From paw, to fin, to hoof to<br />
Wing<br />
At dusk, a night song that<br />
we sing<br />
Prey and predator, side by<br />
side<br />
We are the spirits of the<br />
starlit skies<br />

Warriors Review<br />
By Madison Silbor<br />
There are many book series<br />
but there is one that<br />
is very popular. This book<br />
is Warriors. Warriors is about<br />
four clans of wild cats that live in<br />
the forest. It sounds pretty nice,<br />
but it’s a hard struggle for them<br />
to survive and stay in line. The<br />
clans have to make sure no<br />
other clan is trespassing while<br />
they also have to focus on<br />
feeding and training. In the<br />
midst of all this struggle is<br />
Rusty. A young house cat that<br />
longs to be free in the forest<br />
despite the struggles and risk of<br />
his healthy living. On his journey<br />
as a new member of<br />
Thunderclan he receives his first<br />
apprentice name, Firepaw. We<br />
also meet his new best friends,<br />
Graypaw and Ravenpaw.<br />
Firepaw discovers the real<br />
struggle to be able to live in the<br />
wild and even finds some<br />
suspicions of a big warrior,<br />
Tigerclaw.<br />
I recommend this series to<br />
those who love action, mystery,<br />
shocking plot twists, and a lot<br />
more. Props to the four women<br />
authors who joined together to<br />
make this book series and<br />
became Erin Hunter. Check out<br />
their other book series;<br />
Survivors; a series about dogs,<br />
and Seekers; a series about<br />
three different species of bears.<br />

A Short Spring Story<br />
By Katharine French<br />
Running through the warm<br />
spring grass, I ran through the<br />
woods hoping to find my friend. I<br />
took a deep breath inhaling the<br />
sweet spring air. Finally after<br />
many minutes of searching I<br />
found her: a beautiful majestic<br />
fox. She had a warm thick coat<br />
of brunette fur with crimson<br />
stripes on its side. It had a<br />
bushy tail that blended with the<br />
tall evergreen trees. The fox and<br />
I stared at each other for a while<br />
then silently approached me<br />
and let me pet her. The fur felt<br />
warm on my hand and made me<br />
feel happy inside. The fox ran<br />
away happily and I chased it<br />
back to her warm den where her<br />
family was. It made me happy to<br />
find my fox friend so delightfully<br />
sitting with her family. After<br />
hours of sitting with the fox<br />
family. I turned around and ran<br />
back through the forest, toward<br />
the scent of warm dinner<br />
coming from my home.<br />
“Seasons” Teaser<br />
by Madison Silbor<br />
It was silent in the forest.<br />
The warmth of the sun streamed<br />
through the lush green trees.<br />
The leaves swayed on their<br />
branches. Gradually, they<br />
transformed from green, to<br />
autumn. The forest transformed<br />
from summer to fall as a young<br />
red filly with a blonde mane<br />
walked past. Her blue eyes<br />
glowed a bright orange and the<br />
shape of a leaf glowed on her<br />
chest. The air changed from a<br />
welcoming warmth, to a bitter<br />
crisp. This filly is Autumnleaf.<br />
She is in control of the Fall<br />
season. She brings it after<br />
Summer and takes it before<br />
Winter. She had never met the<br />
other Season Foals. It would be<br />
fatal for the world if she did.<br />
Seasons cannot collide without<br />
a disaster happening. It was a<br />
lonely life for Autumnleaf, but<br />
she took her responsibility<br />
seriously and strongly. She<br />
flared her nostrils, sensing<br />
something ahead. Speeding like<br />
a bullet, a sharp gust of wind<br />
shoved into her. Autumnleaf’s<br />
eyes and chest stopped<br />
glowing. Her mane was flowing<br />
rapidly in the breeze. She<br />
looked at her surroundings and<br />
her heart dropped when she did.<br />
All the autumn she had created<br />
was gone. Not only the autumn,<br />
but everything else. The only<br />
thing she saw was bare tree<br />
branches and dusty waters. The<br />
air was dry and undescribable.<br />
All the grass was gone, too. A<br />
deep mist surrounded her.<br />
Other hoofsteps echoed around<br />
the empty woods. Through the<br />
mist came three foals, all from a<br />
different direction. To<br />
Autumnleaf’s right was a pure<br />
white filly with glacier blue eyes.<br />
To her left was a golden<br />
palomino filly with white<br />
speckles all over her body. Her<br />
eyes were a blazing amber. In<br />
front of Autumnleaf was a colt.<br />
His coat was dapple grey, dark<br />
at the bottom getting lighter to<br />
where his mane was white. His<br />
eyes were hazel with a friendly<br />
gaze. Autumnleaf froze with<br />
fear. She had never met the<br />
other Season Foals, but she<br />
already knew these were them.<br />
All four seasons had just<br />
collided, and she didn’t know<br />
what would happen to the world.<br />
All she knew was that it could<br />
end fatal.
