=Sound Poems From DreamExtreme - Medford, Oregon=

 * Harbor**

The wind, a Kind of sound like a f l u t e from true artistry. Ding ding! the sails rocking slamming on poles holding against their will. Giving the sounds a tempo, silent almost s i l e n t. Splash! A fish the size of five gives it a d r u m s o u n d Squeak! The sound of w a v e s forcing the dock that goes for e t e r n i t y. whoosh! The waves a splashing sound Just gives it the Final touch. An idea for a piece Of music.

 * COOKING MUSIC**

THIS KITCHEN: The always shout Of roaring waiters and waitresses Giving orders To fast-working Employees With pots and pans Filled with the bubble Of boiling water Placed on the grate Of the stove Rumbling With the roar Of fire Joining in With the slam Of heavy kitchen doors Being heaved open Off-beat With the jitter And fast beat Of gigantic Kitchen knives Chopping foods Of all sorts In This Kitchen

Cooking music

 * The Classroom**

In the classroom:

Pencils writing Water running

Kids talking Music playing

Chairs squeeking Paper wrinkling

And the beautiful book…reading

//by Kelsey//
 * Houses**

Cats meowing Dogs barking Kids screaming Big, evil brother laughing

You hear the splatter Of the paint hitting The wall

It gets silent

Then the little children: Laughter from all Directions

You yell //why can’t everyone be quiet//

Your wish finely comes True - 9:00

You say good night to Everyone

This crazy house

Finely quiet: crazy house.

//by Rachel// media type="file" key="Spring Garden.mp3"
 * Spring Garden**

The soft rustle of the leaves of the //father// of the garden: the cherry blossom tree. The oldest, wisest of the garden.

Swish swish! A calm but lively whoosh Of a younger, //mother// of the garden.

Tweety, chirp, of cheerful bluebirds, the //younger guardians// of their beloved babes.

The busy buzz Of the working honey-bees, The flapping tiny wings of the //protecting brothers and sisters,// are loved to be heard by the others.

And the cracking crack of the //youngest of them all,// the tiny beak and eyes peering at the new world, through the hole in the egg, managing a little yelp, out of its little body the baby bluebird youngest of them all youngest of them all

 * Beach**

So silent a palm tree shakes through the wind

So big a fish makes a splash

So tiny as you hear the sound of a crab snap its claws

So fast as the waves go in and out

So peaceful as you hear all the sounds at once:

Beach Music

Sound Poems from the South Paris Collaboration Fifth Graders
 The Park by Clarissa media type="file" key="The Park.mp3"

This park the always joy of kids saying "Hi" and "Bye" as they come and go,

The laughter from children having fun leaves our hearts gleaming with joy,

The peaceful sound of birds singing together, The rustling trees on a hot summer day,

The relaxing sound of kids going "Wee" as they go down the slide,

The cats and dogs chasing each other, The running feet thumping the ground playing tag,

The boys playing attracts a crowd that roars like tigers and lions,

And the girls create a huge crowd of spectators cheering to the screaming of teamwork,

With the always joy of this park.

This Mall By: Jessica media type="file" key="This Mall.mp3"

This Mall the always laughter of

Doors opening and closing

Pets barking Music fills the stores As hangers move up and down off the racks

People walking up and down the aisles

The cash registers opening and closing

Money going in and out people at the food courts eating their food Smiles on everyone's faces

The always laughter of This Mall

This Baseball game By Zack media type="file" key="This Baseball Game.mp3"

The always noise, Yelling from the fans all around

Baseballs bouncing from left to right And bats smashing in all vocabulary’s from Crash Clash

Bank A roar of booing fans as a result of the opposing team’s Home Run

As the city behind the stadium roars

An orchestra of honking horns

Then the dead silence crowd waiting for the ball to get out of the air

After the loud earsplitting bats assaulting my ears

With the always noise

Of this great game: Baseball These Woods by Hong-An media type="file" key="These Woods.mp3"

These woods, The always peaceful Chirping Of birds upon Tree branches Singing to anyone Who listens, Rustling from leaves And trees as the whistling Wind blows by, Answering the flowing river, The running river As if it has been call to, Hooting from owls, Thumping of bunnies, And the slurping of animals drinking From the river, the scratching Sound of squires Climbing up trees, Filled my mind With calm, peaceful, And happy thoughts Of the Always peacefulness Of these woods.

Theme Parks by Saikiran media type="file" key="Theme Parks.mp3"

Yelling squealing assaulting my ear with that awful noise theme parks

People yelling in my ear saying get your popcorn get your popcorn!! And oh that awful noise theme parks Parents telling you to go on lame Rides and oh that awful noise theme Parks

people yelling in my ear Saying wee! little kids jumping up And down saying I want to go on this Ride!!

and oh oh that awful noise theme parks!!!

My House by Andrew media type="file" key="My House.mp3"

My house the always noise coming from the basement.

Clashing from the closets.

In the hallway and all sounds coming to my ears.

Banging, creaking, and dashing all noises.

As planes overhead cause more noise Then a basketball bounces across the street

assaulting my ears with the always noise

my house.
