Visions of a Watershed Devene Tobie A watershed can be a beautiful astounding sight It can be all different shapes, sizes, and heights The tributaries are like branches that separate and depart Like veins of water where everything starts The terrain is what defines where the water will go Usually it heads down the river, through the land, to our outflow When the water flows, of course it takes more than one day But after the whole process, it ends up in the bay A watershed is precious, that is why we should all care It provides food, shelter, and water for animals everywhere Take care of our watershed, try to keep it clean It not only provides for animals, but also for you and me Use less harmful chemicals than Ajax and bleach Stop polluting our air, ocean, ponds, rivers and creeks Everyone must help: girls, boys, women and men In order to have a healthier environment and cleaner watershed
A Memorable State of Mind Efraim Dacuma Knowing I might never visit again is hurtful no matter how far the journey was how all leg muscles cramped how drops of sweat felt like a roaring waterfall the lack of energy due to intense heat sore feet trudging up a thousand steps of stone through sun's horrific animosity It may seem like an ordinary rock but there's more to it crystals grew upon this rock history upon history embedded with features never seen by city streets Calm, rushing falls revealed it might be a dream but one can never find this feeling for once we return this is just a memorable state of mind
