SONNET XVIII
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.
-William Shakespeare

Summers Day
By Hailey Langstaff, Luke Zobrist and Caleb Wolfe
Awaken by the early birds chirping
I start my day with the juice that I'm slurping
The sun shines down on the children at play
I wish that I could stay out all day
You can hear the distant sound of the ice cream truck
And the quacking of an angry duck
All kids come inside as lunch time is approaching
After filling up their bellies, they play soccer without coaching
As the sunlight starts to fade,
They all go swim and wade
Finishing off the night with a bonfire feast
They all tell stories about the Beast
When they go lie down to sleep,
They all fall asleep peacefully while counting sheep
