Somewhere in the world is a cliff. A big, steep, dark rock. As slanted as a clock hand.  I think that is a dangerous place to live. When I look up I see a sky full of clouds. When I look down I can see the water daring me to jump in. Somewhere in the world there is a cliff.  – Yakirah Dazzel

Somewhere in the world there’s a Gulf.  With green land and blue water.  You can see the beautiful water as soothing as laying down with your mom tickling your back.  You see trees swaying while the water is laying.  It’s a friendly environment to be in.  You can go swimming or you can go plant something.  You can find anything on a Gulf.  A Gulf is a nice place to be.  You can trust a Gulf.  A Gulf is a good heart.  Somewhere in the world there’s a Gulf.  – Mali Jackson

Somewhere in the world there is an island.  The water is warm.  The air blew cool in my face. I see the waves rolling. I see fish swimming in the water. I hear the trees shaking. I taste salt warm water on my tongue. I feel the sand blowing. I see the cloud moving with the wind. I hear the frog talking.  Somewhere in the world there is an island.  –  Louis Hagopian

Somewhere in the world there is a geyser.  That shoots insanely boiling water into the sky.  If it shoots you it will hurt like a hot oven.  Steam and water comes out and water it left on the ground.  Looking at it standing in place peacefully.  It first began in the ground and ended peacefully on the ground.  Somewhere in the world there is a geyser.  – Andrew Erdei

Somewhere in the world there’s a hill.  Soft, smooth and kind.  That hill wants to be your friend.  It can be happy, sad or even cool.  I think that hill will be the best friend you ever had.  That hill always lets you lay on it, play on it and you could even tell it your secret and it will tell you there’s.  Somewhere in the world there’s a hill.  – Carolina Rodriguez

Somewhere in the world there is waterfall.  It is cool and shady.  The rough water is cool and refreshing.  I see gold fish swimming.  It sound’s like a vase falling.  It feels cold like an ice cube.  The waterfall is full of life.  It’s very soggy.  Somewhere in the world there is a waterfall.  – Ace Fernandez
