Back in November my 9 year old daughter's class was visited by California Poets in the Schools . She, along with the rest of her 4th grade class, wrote many poems and had a great experience. These poet teachers visit schools all over California grades K-8. Cut to now. Today we received word that one of her poems was chosen to be considered for submission into the statewide anthology for this year. I was very surprised to hear of this but even more surprised by the poem she wrote.

Moods - By: Faith Couchot

Deer go over a lake.
They move so gently
when they jump.
They look like ballerinas
dancing over the lake
in the night.

Moon rose over a pond
It looks so beautiful
looking at the pond.
While crickets are singing
in the night.
While the moon rose over the pond.
_Looking out on the ocean
it is so pretty
while the water moves
so gently
and not a sound is there
except the water moving.
Everything is so
silent.
I can't hear a thing.
Until a bird comes
and lifts me up into the air.
