2. The batter went up to the plate
it was finals for the state.
The pitcher quickly threw the ball
The batter cracked it to the wall.
The outfielder raised his mitt in the
air
But the ball missed just by a hair.
The batter sprinted around the bases
The crowd stood and cheered with
happy faces.
The runner scored with a dramatic
slide
Winning the game that used to be
tied.

3. I fell on my bed
I hit my head
The next day
Would be a
dread.

4. Freedom flies,
Floating through my
life,
as i ride my horse,
as we become one,
jumping fences,
galloping through
fields,
or simply taking a long
walk.
Freedom flies,
as i see my perfect
score at the judges ta-
ble,
receiving a ribbon as
the crowd cheers,
leaving the arena with a
smile ear to ear,
Freedom flies.

5. I once had a dog named
Gunner,
he was a very good run-
ner.
When he poops on the
floor it is such a bummer.
I could be doing better
things with my summer.
Then I got a dog named
Scout,
he has so much energy I
have to let him out.
When we leave him home
alone all he does is pout.
When he gets tired he
just passes out.

Later when the sun appeared,
We realized that the time had
neared.
