MAJESTIC by Ali, Tony, Alan & Jack, all age 10

We are third, fourth and fifth graders from a public school in San Francisco's Tenderloin Neighborhood. This blog is a project of Robyn Carter's classroom (Room 2). It's a place to share our art and writing with other kids and teachers.
Northern light in Iceland Photo by Gudrún Hauksdóttir — National Geographic Your Shot:
This photo was taken on my way to Thingvellir at ‘Mosfellsheiði’ 8th of October 2013.
Chemicals drift around my nose,
and bottles of polish clatter
and clink
on the shelf. Clippers click,
files whisper,
dryers whir.
From beneath the sound,
Mom paints finger and toenails
the color of crashing Atlantic waves,
of morning,
of sunflowers,
of paradise,
frost
and blood,
and a million stars
gleaming down
from a
Saigon
sky.
