A Walk Around Tucson’s Lakeside Park

The sun is shining

Kids are playing

We are fishing at Lakeside Park.

The smell of grass

The sound of ducks

The taste of dust fill the air

At Lakeside Park.

The reflection of the mountains

surrounding Tucson

Reflects the image upon the lake

at my favorite place

Lakeside Park.

The Swing

The future flies and

I fly with it

The petals fly

With the sun

High over the park.

An Imaginary Park

At a park I see fairies opening buds.

The fairies pull the corn as tall as trees.

At a park the fairies clean the litter.

They play in the sand and admire roses.

The cool fairies strike a lot of poses.

The fairies look at some dark clouds.

It looks like it is going to rain.

It is an excellent day at the park.

Wildlife Park

Deer leap, buffalo roam,

This is the place the animals call home.

Frogs leap, birds sing,

What a wonderful thing.

Prairie dogs bark, owls hoot,

I see a dog covered in soot.

I whoop, bears growl,

Also the place where wolves howl.

I’ve got a lark,

So you come to the wildlife park.

Sunset Park

Grass, trees, plants, flowers

You know that you will be able to see

Something you’ve only dreamed of

Then you look over a hill

And you see a sunset
