| - Houghton (by Michael)
-
- Houghton is the town of spring with lush
- green grass and multicolored flowers. You
- could smell the honey made by the bees.
- Or dip your toes in the icy blue water.
-
- Houghton is the town of summer with
- steaming days and nights that fold
- on top of you. The smell of pine cones
- float on top of the slow moving breeze.
-
- Houghton is the town of fall with very
- crunchy leaves and many jobs of raking
- the falling red and yellow leaves that
- forewarn you of frosty winter nights ahead.
-
- Houghton is the town of winter, freezing
- though the days may be the fire keeps
- me warm- it crackles soothingly. The outside
- air comforts you almost like a pin cushion.
-
- Houghton is the town for me with white
- spotted fawns frolicking through our
- backyard, squirrels munching birdseed,
- small kids playing soccer in the field.
-
- This is the town for me.

- Michael is a 7th grade student at the American Cooperative School (as of the 2001-2002 school year)
