More autumn-themed student poetry and stories

For my younger class, I opened up the creative writing assignment to include both poetry and stories. While the grammar and vocab was a little sloppier than in my older classes, they still produced some pretty great work:

When autumn wakes up
She finds that everything turns red
Squirrels run around her and say hello to her
In the sky, she can see migrating birds
Also, the foliage are on the tree
When people see her come
They dress up their overcoat
And they make a bonfire outside.
She says "Why?"
They smiled "Because your are coming."

Autumn is coming

The squirrels are showing
The weather is so chilly
The bonfire make me don't feel cold in the evening
And we can see the wind making the leaves fly with migrating birds
in the setting sun

The stories were a bit on the morbid side. This one made me laugh. it starts out with a cute story about a squirrel and then takes an unexpected turn..

One day, a squirrel want to eat acorns. But because of the blustery weather, the leaves fell down on the ground and covered the acorns. The squirrel walked on the leaves and heard them crunch under its feet, but it can't find the acorns. It felt hungry because of the chilly weather, and it was also very cold. Then it found a bonfire. At that time, one of the migrating birds fell into the fire, so the squirrel can eat it. 

Surprisingly enough it was mainly the girls in the class who were killing off all the squirrels and birds in their stories.
