"Frozen Waters"
By Courtney Heller
As the weather begins to warm
My surface slowly starts to fade
Please help the process hurry up
Because I want to get out of the winter shade
Only you can help me out
The fish below are no use with this
I want to feel the summer warmth soon
So we can create a summer of bliss
Together we can make everyone happy
My shallows warmed by your rays
People and fish will spend their days with us
But that is just a part of the summer phase
Right now they are just sitting and waiting
For you to take away my icy layer
I don’t know how much longer they can wait
You need to keep your sky from getting greyer
My top is blocking you from my view
And I hope to see you very soon
But first you need to warm the air
So I can be ready for the events in June
This winter has been long enough
So I hope you stick around this summer
Because you’ve been away for far too long
And if you don’t it will really be a bummer
"I am from Northland Pines High School, and this is my poem about frozen waters."

"Olive Grove on the Sea"
Rebecca Koshak
Warm sultry winds
Roll in from the ocean
The air is tart
And full of words
Though nothing has yet been said
The olive trees are
Dark with their burdens
They flutter sleepily
In the coming night
Stay here with me and we’ll drink the sunset dry
You are my olive grove
Weighed with your load
You are my sunset
Defying the pending dark
And all the spoken words escape me in a crash of ocean waves
"Snow Patrol's song "Olive Grove Facing the Sea" inspired this poem. I have never actually seen an olive grove."
