蜂鸟
松软的
它们飞舞
tiny little small eggs they
从花中吸吮
它们是鸟
nothing is cute like a humming bird
1级
沙漠
Oh the dry, dry, desert.
The scorching hot sun, dries the
desert and the beautiful animals creep
and crawl on the sandy desert floor.
Where the saguaros emerge from a small seed they become
a tall man reaching for the sky.
Inside you may find a cactus wren peeping out of a
小黑洞.
Below a herd of javalinas go for the juicy treat of the fresh fruit of a prickly
仙人掌. 你可以找到我
sitting down enjoying the gorgeous sunsets of
索诺兰沙漠.

Rain in the Sonoran Desert
在季风期间，
There is rain all around
The thirsty dry Sonoran Desert.
这里有水坑.
那里有水坑.
There are puddles in the driveway.
There are puddles in the road.
There are puddles on the roof.
There are puddles on the ground.当我跳起来
掉进水坑里，
I feel a warm feeling,
像爱情一样.
但事实并非如此.
这很有趣.
但事实并非如此.
就像快乐.
但事实并非如此.
It is like the feeling
Of your mother making hot chocolate.
但事实并非如此.
这就像一个温暖的拥抱.
但事实并非如此.
It is love, fun, joy, hot cocoa, warm hugs
在一起.太阳升起.
水坑干了.
我说再见.
直到推荐一个买球网站再次见面……

The Sonoran Desert Meets
As I sprint across the road
As I rush through the wind
然后我停下来休息
I see something through the stars
It is a human, ever so curious
He comes closer with every step
I stare blankly as I’m frozen still
But I recognize that he is a friend and not a foe
Finally we meet and he strokes my tender fur
然后他低声说
“We meet again little one.”
We stare forevermore and then we hear
The pattering of rain all around
A gust of wind is heard
We know we must depart
Then lightning strikes
And so he has disappeared
我凝视了很久
Another strike and I’m off as well
Trotting in the distance
向家
Which is 索诺兰沙漠
结束
沙漠中的一天
The wind in the air, the breeze
of the sky, the blaze of the sun a
drop of water is like magic a pinch
of gold shines in the dust,
the honey of grass as the
sky breaths in air the sun is
setting night has come it is
time to say hello to the moon

仙人掌的士兵
在山顶上
三个士兵
在夜晚的蓝天里
一只有四只胳膊
另一个有两个
想要抓住我
用步枪瞄准
但令我惊讶的是
they didn’t make a move
一点声音都没有
I moved closer and closer
and saw two little eyes
was it alive or was it a trick?
suddenly I hear him speak
“WHOOOOO!他说
他的眼睛消失了
有东西飞了起来
仙人掌在夜晚
里面有猫头鹰
now I know the little lies
他们玩弄你
By Aryana Clinkingbeard (tied)
Where the Desert Meets the Sea
发出嘶嘶声! 波浪破碎
在沙漠的沙滩上.
Volcanic rock and cactus
Spread on the dry land.杰克，兔子，鹿
And foxes that are gray
Become totoaba, sea turtles
还有蝠鲼.小小头鼠海豚
也许有一天会消失.
盐太多
水都错了.海的形状
Like a long, narrow candle.
太平洋
Is the holder’s handle.We better care for it,
或者，我担心，
总有一天
可能会消失.
五年级
沙漠幽灵
走近看看
The ghosts that lie in history
这里就是
Hohokam made their spears
就在那里
他们猎鹿
Here is where they made the food
填饱肚子
给人好心情
By the rocks they did their dance
赐予丰收
更好的机会他们为什么离开
我看不见
To all it is a mystery
但精神永存
For many moons and days
霍霍坎人的故事
仍然被告知
对于那些倾听的人
年轻人和老年人
Look closely and you can see
The desert ghosts as they used to be!
6年级
沙漠海洋
In the desert ocean, the blue sky is the
海面.The pearly white whale-clouds swimming 高高飘扬的头
Underwater mountains and their summits that
冲破海浪On their slopes, the cactus-coral, and the
pine-kelp
where the mountain lion, like a leopard seal
stalks the shifting ocean bed
的影子.In the unbroken obsidian darkness of midnight,
the hog-nosed skunk fish scours the
沉没的巨石And from the mountain-tops, the tall great-horned owl’s eyes
search the waves like a white hot beam from a
灯塔.And the curious snake like a garden eel,
with his head poking out of a hole in
the sand and volcanic rock.And in summer’s peak, the cicada fish screaming
在高温下And in the dead of winter, the
tortoise-crab deep in his
体温过低的睡眠.In the desert ocean, the lapping waves at
the mountain-top, the organ pipe cactus
coral, the coyote shark, the spearing-
野猪鱼;the immense nothing that becomes something
你越靠近我
对它,
and the something that becomes nothing
the farther you come away,but will always be the desert ocean, drifting waves over
鲸鱼云.
