Up in the sky of pink, A hawk circles its prey, For G-d has to feed all kinds of creatures, And bless each one with different features. Up to see the sun rise, Listen to a owl's cry, "Nature is at risk my child We need to work to save the wild." by Jenna Back to Top Friendship The people I met, I shall never forget, Completing our challenge, Gettin a bead, Together we meed this friendship We’ve recieved. Once one slips, The other by their side, As if together we can be washed up by the tide. Happy, sad, even mad, We could talk it out, From the first time we met, Until the last campfire in which We were to say goodbye. On the day that we had to leave As if we were to greave, I felt as if a boulder hit me, Right smack on the knees. I miss my friends all of whom I met, I will wait to see again, Until that day, and on they will always be my Friends. by Jenna Back to Top Lightly Laid Following the covenant passed on to Noah, Full of power; color;and emotion, As if it were some kind of magical potion, In form of an arch leading up into heaven, As the storm drifts away, The sight of beauty is lightly laid, The colors open up your heart, This rainbow plays an important part, Still with you to the day, Only G-d can turn away, Lay down to imagine how you were feeling, But out of your mouth comes no meaning, Only from your heart you will feel, Nothing else is considered real. By Jenna Back to Top The Voice of Spring Whoosh I hear her voice cry out to me As if it was a dolphin's scream coming from the sea I smell her as if she was here with me Listen to the river's flow Looking at the stars bright glow While I am sitting here on the old, rusty, gray steps The scent of flowers makes me weep I sit here and wonder why the seasons change Why the snow just disappears Because it must let the flowers bloom Crickets a-chirpin' Birds a-singin' This is the true voice of spring Which only brings her voice to the world once a year When her tears roll down her face on to the earth Have no fear for she is helping the colors Red,Green,and purple too Help form spring So when the moon's a-glowin' The stars are too Listen to the voice of spring calling to you. by Jenna Back to Top Candy Sunset How I could taste that sunset, it was like I was at a carnival and tasting that delicious cotton candy just going down my mouth. The night sky glowed like it was on fire. It was a sign of G-d that the day had ended. by Becca Back to Top Everyone Huddles Around the Burning Wood Everyone huddles around the burning wood, Pushing and shoving to get part of the warmth Closely gathering to hear the ring-side tales of woe The parks fly high into the air, Disparately trying to reach for the stars, Falling helplessly to the ground The far of hoot of an old owl can be heard for miles around, The soft howl of a mother wolf calling for her young The bright moon shines with an iridescent glow, On the flat, blue surface of the lake by Mark Back to Top Look out Point I stood on the top of the mountain, beaming with joy! I had made it up the rocky path, without falling back down. I felt ad if I were on the top of the world I felt as if I could fly! I looked down at the world as if I were watching over everyone, I saw the trees sway back and forth, as the raw, cold wind touched my face, All I heard was the sound of peace and as I looked around at my surrounding, I thought wow what a beautiful place our world is. by Tali Back to Top I just came back from Teva... I just came back from Teva And with me came many things. New facts I learned and wish to share More knowledge that we need to care. About the nature of our world Otherwise it soon will be Nothing that you will want to see. But I also carried back with me memories. Memories with all my friends. Both new and old. And from this trip I cherish most three things: 1. knowledge to know that I can make a difference 2. Teva togetherness ecology bal tashchit and awareness all of which will guide me through my life 3. friendship something to never let go of And from these things that I learned there I wish to take them everywhere. To make this world a better place So we can have a smiling face. by Beth Back to Top I loved to roam around the woods... I loved to roam around the woods to see the many things. To see the insects on the ground, to see the creatures with wings. To see the different kinds of Trees scattered on the earth. To work together with your friends to make this stay worth it. And in the woods to play some games that teach you many values. Like “save the earth” or “ Teamwork rules.” that are so very important. And so I learn so many things, From this trip to Teva. I’ll take with me throughout my life And teach to other souls, So they can share all the treasures my heart holds. by Beth Back to Top Predator Prey Watch Out! Hawks! hide quickly Phew! they didn’t see us That was close Predator Prey is a very fun game As long as your smart and stay alive Hawks eats Snake, Snake eats Vole oh no run! Snakes in the trees. I was a Vole running from hawks run it's Hawks! Hide! Hide! they‘re not fast enough That was close gasping for breath. Suddenly in the trees as small group of animals They have to be voles Avital, let’s work together you’re voles right? Aaaahhh! They blew the whistle run!run! OH no to late They got me , I am a snake. by Eric The Look out Today we are going up the hill It will be a really good thrill The hill started very steep and after a while I haad tired feet halfway up we found a cave when we were in it we all gazed then we got to the top at the most talked about spot looking from high up was like a choclate sweet this beautiful sight couldn’ t be beat On the was back we got the bead for together and I know that the expierience will last forever. by Eric Back to Top The Night Hike The night was dark It was so quite Every where, And you can Almost hear, A bird flew by , Landed on its nest, And fell asleep But then the moon came out And it felt like daytime again But everything, and everyone Was still asleep. by Inna Back to Top Dark and Scary The deeper in the wood, The darker it got, The scarier everyone became. The hoots of the owls Made everyone jump, Once in a very long while. You could not see a thing Except for the brightly lit moon That shined our way Through this dark and scary wood. Feel around, Trust each other, That is the only way you will succed. Listen to the leaves and birds To find your way Through this dark and scary wood. When the clock strikes eight You will be free to go And you will know that you have completed This task and journey Of the dark and scary wood On this very day. by Samantha Back to Top Night Hike The darkness comes, we’re in the woods, The moon giving plenty of light, We walk, leaves snap, we look around, On this beautiful night. Camouflage is one game we play Better at night than in the day. Slowly creeping on my tippie-toe, That I’m here she does not know. Closer, closer, slower slower, softer, softer,I’ll get her, I’ll show’er. Then, I pounce, she’s out, I tagged her! She says she heard me? Unfair, I snagged her!! Oh well, it is just a game, Even if I don’t receive any fame. We learned more about the night, as we continued on the trail, like that some animals are nocturnal, like the bat, but not the snail. We headed back to camp Feeling happy and content, About what we had done that night Underneath our huge tent. THE SKY!!! by Noah Back to Top Home
