First Place Air and Water

The air is dirty.
The water is yucky.
If I were a birdy,
I wouldn’t be lucky.

Western Hills Elementary School
Westside Branch Library

Second Place Books

Books about day
Books about night
I never knew a book
Could be so bright!

Books about cars
Books about Mars
Books about the sun
I never knew
Books could be so fun!

Presa Elementary School

Third Place

Halloween

On Halloween you can dress as a ghost or boat.
You can be a cat or goat.
There are many ideas on Halloween.
00000…..00000…..
It might be a monster,
It might be a queen,
I’ve seen it all
On Halloween.

First Place I Sailed Something

Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue,
But I sailed something harder to do.
I sailed past first grade, second grade and more,
I’ve learned how to read, write, and get a good score.

I’ve learned to swim and horseback ride,
At first it wasn’t a breeze
And now I do it with ease.
What helps me with things that are tough,
Is that I don’t quit on stuff.
That’s how I sail on to new worlds.

Zach White Elementary School
Westside Branch Library

Third Place

New Worlds

New worlds are wonderful things,
New places, new shops, new diamonds, new rings,
New planets, new ships, new equipment of all kinds.
New caves, new streams, and new gold mines.
New walkways, roads, rivers and streams,
The bad thing about new worlds
Is that most of them are dreams.

Second Place Time and Space

I stand quite still
And still time follows

I travel there
And still time follows

I return here
To stand quite still
Yet time won’t follow

First Place Blue As The Seas

As blue as the seas,
The waves crash against the shore.
The waves are wild and fierce.
A small turtle walks across the empty, sandy beach.
The sea is a dark navy-blue.
The ocean is like a lion wanting to be let out of a cage.
As blue as the seas,
As blue as the sky,
The ocean will always be wild.

Mesita Elementary School
Main Library

Second Place Ode to Perlman

What I like to do is play the violin,
My friends say, “Why? You’re no Yehudi Menuhin.”

I have to admit that this is true,
But something happened when I was two.

I was sitting as usual watching Sesame Street,
And someone came on who was incredibly neat.

The guest was Itzhak Perlman,
And that’s when I first began;

To love the sound of the violin,
It isn’t necessary to be Menuhin.

As a violinist I may never be employed,
But I’ll still be overjoyed

To make an effort almost superhuman,
To be a little bit like Itzhak Perlman.

Bradley Elementary School
Veterans Park Branch Library

Third Place

Jasmine

Jasmine was my favorite cousin
As could be,
She filled
My heart all over inside,
I think
None of my cousins will
Ever replace her.

First Place La Bruja

La bruja avuja jajaluja

con sus amiguitos fue a jugar.

Second Place El Vaso

El vaso está abajo de la luna.
El vaso se quebró abajo de la luna.
Estaba la luna muy fría.
Pobre vaso frío, se puede cortar.

La Palomita

La palomita andaba buscando a su palomito.
No pudo hallar a su palomito
y le dijo a su papito.
Le dice – está en su arbolito.

First Place El Loro y Su Tesoro

Al salir de mi casita
encontré una florecita
en la esquina de mi pie.
Ella me dijo que fuera hacia las otras florecitas.
Las otras florecitas me dijeron que abajo
en lo hondo del mar había un tesoro de un loro.
Este loro me dijo que si lo sacaba del agua
el me lo agradecería con algo de repostería.

Ramona Elementary School

Second Place Calcetín

Yo descubrí un calcetín abajo de mi cama,
caminó solo y se fue abajo de la cama,
yo me fui a la escuela.
El calcetín se fue a bailar con la suela.

Vestido de Gato

En Halloween, el niño Renato
se puso bien guapo,
y se vistió de gato,
con sus bigotes bien chatos,
se junto con los batos,
que corrían a ratos.

Second Place Cristobal Colón

Ayer “Cristobal Colón” fue a mi casón,

por su gran barcón, barcón, barcón

y a lo último no aguantó
porque el quería a su familión ton, ton,
y ese fue “Cristobal Colón” ton, ton.

First Place Yo Soy Un Marinero

Yo soy marinero
y en mi barco navego
y soy jefe de un coro
por que yo tengo mucho oro.

Ese oro son mis libros
que yo admiro con decoro
pues me abre a nuevos mundos
los cúales yo ignoro.

Mi barco son los libros
de muchos tamaños y diseños
que hablan de mil y un sueños
los libros que yo tengo son los de mis sueños.

Mission Valley Elementary School
Ysleta Branch Library

Third Place Navegar

Navegar todo un día por el mar
para salirme de aquella ciudad donde todo anda mal
hay que limpiarla más
para que no haya tanto smog.
En aquella triste ciudad hay un triste vagabundo
y se fue a navegar por el mar profundo,
el mar azul y las olas sonrientes
hicieron que el vagabundo se pusiera sonriente.
