Alison Beach, Middle School ELA Advisor, shared the following poems:
Deserts have always been an issue. Turning large sand seas into even larger sand arenas, Caused by people using too much of their resources. And if people keep doing their ways, The deserts will keep following them. Keeping everything and everywhere they go as dry as a bone.
The internet is a unique and fascinating place. You can learn new things, read your favorite books, And so much more. However, to access the internet, You must use a special, yet complex, contraption That will allow you to enter.
