Autumn Leaves

The color of hot lava,
Crinkle papers,
Shaped like a Christmas tree,
It looks like fire burning.
A red toothpick stem.

Autumn Leaf

A big wreath,
An old city,
A big state,
A big hill,
A duckfoot.

— Chris A.

 

What Leaves Look Like

It looks like my skin because it has cracks,
Hot lava from a volcano,
One of their roads looks like Lake Shore Drive,
It looks like Venus because it is red,
It looks like a sunburn.

Tyler

 

Autumn Leaves

Crinkled paper,
Five big lines,
Red and orange,
Flies down to the ground,
Holes that snails ate.

— Jillian

 

What Leaves Look Like

Crinkled paper,
Chameleon-bumpy and colorful,
Sun burned skin,
Stem like a mouse tail,
Brown thread.

— Gabriella

 

Autumn Leaves

A red land,
It looks like red ribbon,
It looks like crinkled paper,
It looks like land,
It falls down to the ground.

— Faith-Ann

 

Autumn Leaves

Beautiful colors of the sunset,
Red lava from a volcano,
Strands of hair,
A skinny piece of twig,
Stems like a mousetail.

Autumn Leaves

Earth with cracks,
Craters in the moon,
Hot lava,
Mississippi River,
The stem looks like a red toothpick.

Cool Leaves

A burning tree,
Colors of a sunset,
Crinkled paper,
Fire and gas,
Splattered paint

Autumn Leaves

Like skin with a sunburn,
A busy city,
Like the surface of Venus,
A desert that is hot,
Like a bent tree.

— Brian

 

Autumn Leaves

Red fire, green grass,
A little world,
Shapes of continents,
Big stars,
The orange sun.

Leaves

Little Roads,
Red lava,
A big city,
Crinkled paper,
Colors of the sun.

Beautiful Leaves

The season of Fall,
A red and yellow ball,
A beautiful star,
A red and yellow planet,
A crinkled up sun.

Autumn Leaf

Rainbow in the sky,
Chameleon bumpy and colorful,
Purple rivers,
A red toothpick stem,
A colorful sunset.

Autumn Leaves

Small little roads,
Beautiful sunset,
Pretty rainbow in the sky,
Red tooth without point,
Burn fire.

Leaf

City of Boston,
Spots like bugs,
Forest on fire,
Little spider webs,
Stem like a pencil.

Cracked Roads,
Chameleon bumpy and colorful,

Mississippi River,
Strands of hair.

Desert,
The craters of the moon,
Tar spots,
The sun,
Furry like a dog.

A big city,
A small Christmas tree,

A sharp toothpick,
A big rainbow.

An autumn tree.

Hot lava,
Bones,

Autumn Leaves in the Air

A big rock,
Mean eyes staring at you,
Goosebumps on your skin,
Your veins,
A tip of an arrow.

— Chris F.
