I live in Seattle

Another poem by April Joy.  She was told to write a poem about where she lives.

I live in Seattle
For it is very hot now
Where the sun grows bigger
(And me)
If only you could live with me
For it is wonderful in Seattle.

A poem by April

The sky is light
The day is bright
The moon shines
In the night.
And children play
Throughout the day
At night they sleep
Without a peep
