The Geode

The Geode is a Treasure


The delicate geode


glitters inside with diamonds


prickly, sharp like a pencil.



The delicate geode


outside green, white


bumpy as a turtle’s shell.



The delicate geode


inside edge hard, smooth


icy like granite.



The delicate geode


searching for treasure


to make my family rich.

Ow, Ow, Ouch!

Ow, Ow Ouch!


Mrs. Kostrzewa slowly grabs the coffee cup. It is a red, holiday cup. The cup is red and white, like Santa’s coat. She blows into the hole where she drinks from. She blows fast, slow, fast, slow. Mrs. Kostrzewa is blowing on her coffee so she doesn't burn her tongue. She does not know that the cap is loose. She spills hot coffee all over her white shirt. She yells and panics and says. ”Ow, ow ouch! It Burns!” Mrs. Kostrzewa’s face turns red and she has smoke coming out of her ears!
