The Amish when they come around. They are tasty.

i can smell
the burning trash,
the buildings stacked
one hundred high,
the blaring honks
of yellow taxies,
the brisk chill
of morning breeze,
i can taste the smoke
from the cars’ exhaust,
and yet…
i can’t get enough of it
hilton head island, sc
That is my favorite
vacation place, you can
smell the salty smell from
the beautiful ocean, see
the loose, swaying palm
trees, taste the salty, and
delicious sea food from the
ocean, feel the warm water and
the warm sand in and on your
feet and hands, and hear the
loud sound of the snow white
seagulls.

I like Kittyhawk most of all
You go to the beach
and sit out in the sun
and taste the salty air
and feel the sand with
my feet
and see the seemingly endless ocean
over the horizon
and taste the food of the sea
and listen to the waves crashing down
and touching the washed up shells
on shore.

Summers are very hot
Winters are bitter cold
You see the houseless fields
I hear the neighing horses
I hear the mooing cows
I smell the farms
I taste the luscious cabbage
That was grown in Grandma’s garden
duncansville, pa
by MJ
In PA, fun to live
there when you walk outside
I see cars driving by houses
and yards at peoples houses.
I smell the flowers planted
in the soil. I also smell gas
at gas stations.
I hear cars going by.
My footsteps hitting the
sidewalks.
I touch the grass all
slippery and green. I feel
a tree trunk hard and brown.
I taste the apples from the fresh
apple trees. The pears from the
pear trees also.
I talk to the birds saying good
morning. Saying good day to the
neighbors. Duncansville is a mysterious place.

duncansville, pa
In Duncansville

set every night.

yellowstone, mt
I love Yellowstone,
Yellowstone is the place to be.
When you want to go somewhere you’ll
be happy.
You’ll see wildlife of any kind,
including bears, elk, deer, and many others.
Hot springs are plentiful but you have to
be careful. The water is hot and all you
smell is sulfur.
The greatest of them all is
Old Faithful, tons of visitors come
to see her every year.
All through Yellowstone you’ll find
things to please you whether it’s
wildlife, hot springs, or any of the other
things that Yellowstone has.
You’ll hear all the birds chirping
and feel the rocky ground beneath
your feet. That is why
I love Yellowstone, Montana.

I open up my window and
I smell the fresh green grass.
I get out and pet the horse
I went to see. I can see the
never ending pastures around me.
I can hear horses neighing
it is music to my ears. I
mount up on the horse and I
trot him and dust rises and
I can taste it in my mouth,
gritting between my teeth.

I am quite fond of fall
I feel the leaves feel the leaves we have a ball,
I live in Pennsylvania in a quaint
little town called Duncansville.
In the fall we drink and smell hot cocoa after
coming in from cold harsh weather.
We go to bed early, then wake
up and end up bright.
In Duncansville, Pennsylvania we give thanks
there a lot.
When the turkey comes a knocking
we will test how good he tastes
by gobbling him up.
I hear the rustle of the leaves as they
are on the go. I see fall
right there and there it goes
goodbye!
stratton, vt

I love Stratton, Vermont
for it is fun
going skiing down a steep hill
or when you get cold
you can go inside
and get a hot chocolate
or any hot beverage
that you would like.
You could smell the wintry snow
or taste snow sprayed on our face
and you can feel snow as it gets kicked in your
face and you see a white blanket on the ground
which is called snow
and people ski all over it
you hear your skis
brushing on the snow
or hear the fake snow
being sprayed on the trail
and once you finish
get on a lift
and do this all over again!
altoona, pa
I love Altoona
in the spring
You can do many
things outside and
inside I love spring
In the spring you
can watch birds
and butterflies
You can smell
the fresh flowers
You can taste
fresh corn soon
You can hear the
birds chirping
You can touch
the new blooming
flowers soft texture
Best of all you can
go to grandma’s
house to taste
the fresh blackberries

In New Jersey you
smell the open sea.
You hear the seagulls
screaming.
You touch the sandy
beaches, the smooth
sea, and the breezy
wind in your face.
You taste the salty
water and the hotel
service food. You
see the girls tanning,
the seagulls fighting,
people playing in the
sand and the sea.
