Friends of Nature Parks

I saw many birds flying in the blue sky they were beautiful.

And I also saw 4 alligators one was swimming and the other 3 were sunbathing.

And I also saw some pink and white and purple flowers.

I saw many beautiful green trees with a winged lake.

I saw 4 alligators in the sun

and some birds flying in the sky

and they were beautiful.

There were many green trees

and when I saw the weights

I remembered by dad

because he loves to fish.

I saw and eagle in a tree.

The field trip was beautiful

because I love nature.

The blazing sun as hot as fire

Animals going about without a care

Beautiful nature everywhere

Trees as hard as iron

Trees sway from side to side

My class is walking through the trail with pride

The birds chirping by me

While the guides guide me

I am sad it is time to go

I will be back though

I said bye to the purple gallinule

Sweetwater you rule

I saw birds and even alligators

It felt like going through the jungle

Even though I was tired I made it

We got to roll down a hill which was cool

And the water looked like angels made it

I was so happy to where it was the only thing in my mind

It was kinda rad but, my feet were starting to hurt

My mom packed me lunch it was good

Our group name was “coco cheeks”

All of the pain, walking and, writing was worth it

When I got home I told my mom

I will hopefully remember that day

The water, animals and, even the plants made me happy

I hope they miss me as much as I miss them

Goodbye for now Sweetwater

I hope this won’t be the last goodbye either

I will miss you

Alligators everywhere

Birds flying in the air

Water as blue as my bottle

It’s funny to see the alligators waddle

The ducks have a colorful beak

I wonder what it would sound like if it could speak

The wetlands is a can of soup

We walked on a trail shaped like a loop

The trip to the park was fun

We saw turtles sleeping in the sun

There are a lot of different plants

And even little tiny ants

The water is swaying like the flowers in the wind

The gators teeth are sharp like knives

The rocky path is smooth and rough

Like the water’s tiny waves in lines.

We rolled down a hill

We walked on a bridge

The water was still

It was as cold as a fridge.

We saw a bunch of weeds

The water was blue

There was a lot of grass seeds

And the experience was new.

The park was big

The grass was green

There were animals that dig

And that’s all we’ve seen!

At sweetwater,

We saw a family of

Deer cross the street

As if to greet us.

Birds, bugs, every you look

A creature is saying “hello”

To you and welcoming you

Into the park.

The BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

Of the cicadas calling out,

The chirp, chirp, chirp of the

Birds welcoming us to nature.

And the gators!

Oh, Big gators,

Small gators,

Gators in between,

Come out to greet

Us, and wish us good luck.

The warm sun

Saying hello as we lay in the

Grass, enjoying

The time in

Sweetwater

Wetland

Park.

As I walked I saw dewdrops hanging on branches

I saw them fall into the water

Even though they were small they

Still made ripples across the water

The sugarcane was sweet and sour

And the sky was blue and aqua

I saw and alligator the scales on it were like

Sand paper the lush water sparkled as

I walked along it

I felt safe as I walked through

The lime green meadows I lay down on

The grass and closed my eyes

For a second

This place felt like home

I saw a bird flying in a

Cool formation.

And I saw a alligator

Sleeping on the grass.

And I saw a bee flying

And collecting nectar.

And we laid on the

Soft grass.

Wish woosh crack,

the country air goes through my nose

while the fluffy grass tickles my toes.

Shimmering lakes all around

birds and gators to be found.

As we ran around on the trail with cool facts in our heads

it truly felt like home with just a little less bed.

The air, the winds, the smells and the sights in the end we said goodbye to it all and of

course all the magical times.

one day on a farm

I saw some sheeps and they

were soft as a cloud

old school house

benches no desk

one teacher for all the grades

one room school house.

old cabin

two beds

one rocking chair

if you had to use the restroom it as in an outhouse

a ladder to reach the second floor.

The cows wouldn’t let us pet them they looked so soft

The Sheep felt like a Cloud

They were super loud

The Timucua smells funny

Poor Bunny

The School was tiny

The trail was calm

There was history

Birds tweet crickets chirp

The spider was as still as a rock

Leaves falling,

Cows mooing.

Palms dancing in the wind,

Sky’s blue no clouds,

Cows moo very loud,

Like pillows light brown,

Cozy cabin,

Flag for our justice,

Cows lazy like daisy,

Omg like crazy

Snake skin kind of rough,

Loud like thunder,

Game kind of tender,

cool like ginger,

Nature doing its thing,

Cows named Zinnia and Daisy,

School was tiny,

Timucua smelled kind of funny,

Poor bunny,

All at nature park our field trip!

There were flowers

They dance for hours

Wind whispered in my ear

But not for all to hear

Cows sitting in grass

With a little sass

There were bells

The garden smelled

I like the sheep

The didn’t make a peep

There was a breeze

It made me sneeze

School bells ringing

And blue birds singing

They had lots of hair

It wasn’t hard to stare

There were hogs

Sitting on logs

The cows said moo

I think I saw them at the zoo

The flowers were sunbursts in the forest

I’m glad there weren’t hornets

The sun was a golden coin in the sky

While the birds fly high

The sheep scattered like snowflakes

The breeze makes tall trees shake

The birds sang like tiny jewels twinkling in the morning breeze

It would be prettier with seas

From the breezes of the wind to the singing of birds

Plants dancing in the wind like human beings

From the smell of the spring water

To the hopping of the bunnies

Wiggle, wiggle snake

Wow! A loft alligator

“Buzzzz” a bee

Wow! Pointy plants “ouch”

Mmmmmm, Fresh air

Silence here, silence there

Silence everywhere!

There was a snake that was yellow,

It was the color of corn

Yet, under the skin is the color is

White and black, the color of

The chessboard

The wetland is like a sponge.

Soaking up things that fall in the water

It’s like a flower inviting you to look at it.

The wind brushing against my skin. The

Plants breezing in the wind. It is smelling

Like a flower. The wind talking so gently in the fresh air.

I’m a human, I’m tired of being from cities

I’m going to nature to find peace

Long and shady trees and the cool breeze

To make me relax and calm,

I found a tree of Palms!

I love to dwell in the forest wild

Where giant pine trees pearce the sky

A beautiful spot where nature smiles

A fitting place to live and die

I grab some corn to feed the sheeps

The corn fell and the sheeps were mad. I’m sorry sheeps.

I say next I feed the cows, the cows were stinky as trash.

Then I approached the cabin that was abandoned.

Then we saw piglets that were triplet.

Blue birds blue as the sky and wind strong

As a hurricane I don’t know if I am

Gonna fly away and alligator

All over the place me thinking

They are fake but if I touch

Them they will go chomp! And

The smell like salt but just a

Lot!

The sky was blue like my shoe

I saw an alligator he was chill

The clouds were puffy like a cotton ball

I saw a snake skin

It was scaly

I saw a turtle and a snake

I hear the birds

I smell grass, but not old grass

No, fresh grass

lush, like a fresh cut lawn

Look up and see birds’ nest in the trees

Look at the birds in the trees

Look down and see the lizard

Look up again at the sky, the puffy clouds

I saw a black and white bird

An American alligator.

A water snake

Different types of birds.

Snake skin on a bush

I felt the wind and the warm air.

I also heard birds chirping and the wind blowing by.

Sunbathing alligator frozen like ice.

Walking along nature’s path.

Enjoying crickets putting on a concert.

Elegant flowers dressed in rainbow hues.

Turtles relaxing like a lazy Saturday.

Water splashed as birds caught their prey.

Acrobatic dragonflies, performing a circus routine.

Temperatures rising under the lava hot sun.

Eating lunch, munch, munch, munch.

Riding home bumpy as a jumping bean.

Walking through nature, passing hours, I take a consequential breath,

and see the vibrant flowers.

I feel the wind gliding on my skin,

I feel as cool as a fish’s fin.

Although I can see the sunshine strictly glaring,

for the grand ecosystem, I felt caring.

Even though my body aches,

The cool wind makes the trees shake.

I lie down and feel the soft grass,

as if there were no more questions to ask.

I was curious about the animals,

as if the forest was mysterious.

As the sun dances on the water,

excitement ponders.

As the tall grass sways,

I felt my worries be carried away.

It’s like the trees are my guidance, crickets and birds chirping,

The rest was silence.

An alligator lingers in the grass,

I felt like I was floating, I had zero mass.

The beautiful birds gliding on the marvelous waters,

We were marching in a line like American trotters.

At any time I will side with the significant feathery flocks,

their wings drifting on the rocks.

Even thought the heat was unbearable,

The cool breeze was rather not terrible.

Fuzzy and furry creatures strolling in the hot sun,

This adventure was enormously fun!

Smiles all around,

as we lay in the soft, cool ground.

I close my eyes and feel the forest calling my name,

birds singing like it was all chorused.

This is all you need to hear,

I saw alligators always jumping in the water.

I saw a blue heron gazing upon the water,

I heard the water running, running to be free.

I heard the wind whispering to me,

I can feel the grass in between my fingers as I was on a fluffy cloud.

The cloud was taking me up to my happy [place…paradise!

The water is as black as the night sky.

Then the more I can feel,

the more I can touch.

The more I can see,

The alligators are absolutely amazing.

The heron is so blue and so blissful,

The grass is like my comfy comforter.

So I will be on my fluffy cloud,

It has a cute smile when I look at it.

Like it is copying with the sun with its bright smile.

Sweetwater is a fantastic place,

all the birds sing grace.

The animals all have different skin,

they are all around you just spin.

Just take a quick minute and freeze,

and soon enough you will feel the breeze.

Make sure to hold your binoculars tight,

Soon you will see a bird in flight.

Sometimes the day is hot,

just like boiling water in a pot.

The dragonflies colors are shiny,

but an alligator’s skin is slimy.

Sweetwater is cool,

just like a swimming pool.

You should visit it today,

And have a fantastic day.

Sweetwater is truly sweet,

all the animals you can meet.

Walk down that path today,

and you’ll see different animals that come your way.

The alligator’s back is rough as the road,

The sky was blue as the water in the ocean seas.

The trees danced like they were dancing together,

The soft grass was soft as a pillow on a bed.

The bird dived in the water like someone is diving in a pool,

The rocks were right for walking on a hike up the mountain.

The turtle was small as a stuffed animal,

The air can help people breathe in the freshness air.

As the day goes to sleep,

My body is carried by tired feet.

Let me tell you about this wonderful place,

For it is full of grace.

There were flowers pink and blue,

There were gaters, that is true.

The birds voices were to die for,

So I said, “can I have more?”

The trees danced in the spring sun,

And I had a lot of fun.

I smelled mud, it smelled nice,

I may have even seen some mice.

The sour green water rushed under the bridge,

And the binoculars I adjusted just a smidge.

The gaters talked real loud,

As I gazed up into a cloud.

The gravel crunched as we walked,

The birds sang as we talked.

And I will never forget that spark,

That spark just left a mark.

For it set me free,

In the future just let me be.

So that was my trip of that wonderful place,

And like I said, it’s full of grace.

The butterfly fluttered like a bee,

The grass was dancing in the wind.

The wind roared like a lion,

The flower bloomed so slow.

The bird dove down like a airplane landing,

the tree waved like a person.

The water sparkled like a diamond,

The wind whispered to me.

The tree is as big as a skyscraper,

The gator chomped like a person biting down.

The caterpillar moved like a turtle,

The trash swimmed like a swimmer.

My hands and feet planted like a seed, my eyes and ears open and listening.

From the time I stepped into the wetlands, a calming feeling was set within me.

As I walked pat, the trees waved, and as I looked around it seemed as if all living things were welcoming me.

The sun was oh so bright and here almost everything was right.

What a wonderful place, with bunches of ecosystems saving animals away from the waste.

All around the world places are polluted by here animals have a suited place to live.

Spewing from inside me was a passion or a meaning.

Knowing one day I could pursue this,

knowing that I could make a difference

or be a powerhouse for many living things to come.

When all the fun came to an end

I was not sad nor happy but empowered.

Walking to our first spot I saw a red cardinal.

The cardinal was as red as a rose.

When I got to see the water I saw my first gator of Sweetwater.

The gator was as small as a puppy

While walking around I heard a sound, it was a purple gallinule.

The gallinule was a purple as a grape.

The wind felt good with the grass.

The grass was a soft pillow.

I heard a bird chucking.

The chuckling sounds like a man laughing.

I saw a pond, the pond had a duck.

it was talking to its babies.

While looking around in the water I saw some Werley Beatles.

They were small lie a pebble in the ocean.

I saw a turtle, close to the gator.

I started to get worried for the turtle, like a mama bear when they don’t know where their cub is.

In the wetlands birds fly high

Flapping their wings in the sky

While below, the gators lay,

Like a cat ready to pounce on prey

The wetlands clean water for paynes prairie

The thought of no clean water is scary

The cleaned water flows into the sink

Without clean water, what would we drink?

The birds look in the pond for fish

The catch them with a loud splash!, swish!

They then carry fish to their nest

Where they shall eat and they shall rest

In the wetlands birds fly high

Flapping their wings in the sky

They then carry fish to their next

Sweetwater is Just the best!

I hear nature’s whispers,

Soft breezes rustling leaves,

The gentle heartbeat of the small river

I smell mildew and corn,

Earthy notes mingling in the air,

A reminder of life

The cycle, the harvest.

I feel the sheep’s warm fur

A soft woolen embrace

And the sturdy presence of cows,

Content int heir pasture

The sun kissing their backs.

Thank you morningside

I sat in a one room schoolhouse.

I saw a turtle as small as a tiny bucket.

I felt the smooth skin of a snake.

I gave corn to the chicken and sheep.

The chicken flapped at me.

I am not sure why.

Nature side is just a vide..

If you go there you will have a good time.

Go there and do your best.

Yess they give you a rest.

Whin i heard the sheep.

I said ooouuu yaay.

It was so fun and it well give a run.

We feel and see cows.

Like or as whatever you want say.

I saw rooster and said hey,

The sheep was fun they want more corn

But just here to have a cheer;

Go to morning side and you will have the best

Best teacher and everything now i go

I hear a sound, of sheeps and chickens.

I Feel a goat and sheep I see a black pig and i hear a

bird sound and smell. a lemon leaf and I feel a fur

Animal I see a black butterfly I hear, a cow moo and we

hear CHUNKY I smell a smoke, and feed the chicken

schools house was like from the 40’s or 30’s.

I saw a sheep it was my favorite

I loved the cows because they smelled good

Pink dots on the trees and blue dots too

The chickens were cute like puppies

Fun on the field trip

On the trip I saw a snake and I was scared,

But these are memories I would have shared.

Friends and teachers altogether,

Having fun in nice weather.

The trip was so much fun

This day will be forgotten by no one.

At morning side i saw a old school house there were no mouse but i saw a cow go moo, we said wow. We fed the sheep they said baaa luckily we didn’t get grabbed, we went to the farm where was no harm, we saw a frog it was on a log, we saw a snake it was great.

I had a really fun time

And I would not trade it for a dime

When i’m with you we’re together like glue.

When i’m in the farm i feel no harm.

It was hot but i cot a lot of stuff

On the trip

I saw a snake

That made me shake,

I was scared but didn’t hate.

If I hate I would faint

if I faint I probably wouldn’t wake.

if I don’t wake I would be in a dram

Like on the farm,

Thinking about the mistake I made.

Feeding the friendly cow that was white and brown,

that I love with all my heard all the the pleasant open air.

I saw a snake and it made me shake

And I saw sheep and a pig and a cow and it made me quake

I gave hey to a cow and i gave corn the cheken

I hear the birds singing

And the schoolhouse bell ringing.

I smell the sweet, earthy pines

In the sun’s shining light.

I feel the breeze on my face

In this enchanted place.

I see the pigs, cow, and sheep,

So calming I could fall asleep.

The taste of nature is so sweet, being here is such a treat!

They at without grace, but a smile still filled my face.

Their baahs and bleeps seemed to seep throughout the farm and around.

Their tongues grabbed like hands, and wrapped around like rubber bands.

Those Beady eyes, so big and round, how could anyone have ever frowned?

She slithered around her arm, but this animal isn’t on the arm.

Bumpy, smooth and cold I got to feel her scales, aren’t I bold?

Los of walking to be done under the big giant sun.

Plants and animals all around, you might hear them make a sound.

From the present to the past it is fun I hope it lasts.

Feed the animals at the barn it may smell but it’s fun.

The air is fresh and is sweet, and smells like candy on hall-o-ween.

The lovely breeze in your face feels like flying in space.

The birds sing their wonderful song like a concert in a yard

This is a magical place with wonderful sights like magic with some spice

We came to

the park.

The trees

Were as tall as the sky.

The outside

Smelled like flowers.

The soft fur brushed

Against my hands.

Cranes chirping

In the distance.

The fresh taste

Of water in my mouth.

I hear the cows go moo

and I smell animal poo!

I touch a sheep’s wool

And I see wooden tools.

I hear the leaves crunch,

As I smell fresh pine,

I feel a python,

And I see sand mounds.

In the Timucua hut I hear yelling,

I smell smoke coming from sparks.

I feel animal clothing

And I see huts, palm fronds, and artifacts.

THE FARM:

I hear the sheep yelling BAHH!!

I smell the brown mushy mud

I see black and white cows

THE NATURE TRAIL

I hear the song birds singing

I smell sticky sap

I feel a slimy green snake

I see spiky pine cones

THE TIMUCUA

I hear leaves crushing

I smell pumpkin seeds

I feel a hard dark stone

I see soft deer skin

The christmasy smell of the pine trees,

The warm moist air, what a breeze

Leaves are crunching

Bees are bunching…Bzzzz

The intricate forts of the Timucua people,

Kids running around like sheeble

Farm

I hear bells swinging in the air

I can smell dust on a old house

I can see dirt in the sir because of cows running

I feel old wood on the ground

Nature Trail

I can hear a bird chirping on a tree

I can smell the dirt on the ground

I can feel tree bark on a tree

I see a bee digging in the ground

Timucua

I hear a person yelling chunky very loudly

I smell wood on the trees

I feel a sharp weapon for hunting

I see a timucua

The field trip to the park

the old school house was as hot as beach sand

A snake said sssssss just like a passing piece of paper

I taste water clear as glass

A chicken that was as orange as my friend’s shirt

Schoolhouse that smells like dust

Just as dusty as a bus
