April-Acroustic
After the winter snow has melted
Petunias, tulips, and other flowers grow and sprout
Rain and thunderstorms rumble all throughout spring
Interesting bugs and animals come out to see the sun
Lots of baby animals are born into the world.

Focus-Acroustic
Forever listing, learning, and understanding
On the ball
Concentrating hard on the task at hand
Using resources all around us
Staying in the zone

Rude-Acroustic
Rambunctious and rowdy
Utterly naughty kids
Disobedient and mean people
Exacerbate and exaggerate many problems

Squirrels-Repeat a Word
The squirrel fell out of the tree
The squirrel ran under the bushes
The squirrel collected walnuts
The squirrel stored the nuts for winter
The squirrel went back into the tree
The squirrel ran under the bushes
The squirrel collected walnuts
The squirrel stored the nuts for winter
The squirrel went back into the tree
I Wish...-Wishes
I wish i didn't forget to do things
to love, and laugh
and my chores
I wish I could fly
up high in the sky
free as a bird
I wish my problems would leave
For my mom to be able to compromise
and me to be able to care
I wish i was strong
in many ways
to love, and laugh
and my chores
I wish I could fly
up high in the sky
free as a bird
I wish my problems would leave
For my mom to be able to compromise
and me to be able to care
I wish i was strong
in many ways
I Used To Be- I used to
I used to be happy
with me and my life
But now things have changed
And my life is even better
with me and my life
But now things have changed
And my life is even better

Dusk-Haiku
The sun was golden
Resting on the horizon
with one more day gone
Resting on the horizon
with one more day gone
