Poem 2: "The Silent Ocean's Embrace"
Beneath the cloak of endless blue,
A world of quiet, calm and true.
The waves whisper, a gentle plea,
To understand, to let it be.
In solitude, the ocean vast,
A mirror to the distant past.
Its secrets hidden deep within,
A tale of loss, a tale to spin.
No sails unfurl, no raucous cheer,
Just quiet ripples, crystal clear.
A solemn journey, slow and deep,
Where ancient secrets softly seep.
The ocean's heart beats in a hush,
A rhythmic pulse, a calming rush.
The ebb and flow of time untold,
A story in the water, silently scrolled.
Let's listen close, with open ear,
To the ocean's tales we hold dear.
For in its silence, wisdom gleams,
A world of peace, in quiet dreams.
Poem 1: "The Mighty Ocean Adventure"
Beneath the sky so vast and blue,
A world of wonder, ocean true.
The waves they dance, a rhythmic tune,
A journey starts this sunny afternoon.
With sails so white, and wind so strong,
Our ship sets forth, a voyage long.
The dolphins play, the seagulls soar,
Adventure calls, let's explore!
A world of colors, beneath the sea,
Coral reefs, a symphony.
Fish of every shape and size,
In a magical world, where beauty lies.
The salty breeze upon our face,
As we sail with grace and pace.
Majestic whales, a splash so grand,
In the ocean, a wondrous land.
So let us learn from ocean's lore,
To cherish, love, and explore.
For in its depths, a lesson wide,
Nature's beauty, side by side.

Poem: "The Enchanted Forest Quest"
In a forest deep, where shadows play,
A tale unfolds, a bright new day.
A band of friends, with hearts so bold,
Set out for treasures, legends told.
Through twisted vines and leafy glades,
They ventured forth, with no charades.
Their goal ahead, a quest untold,
To find the treasure, gleaming gold.
With maps in hand and laughter near,
They faced each challenge without fear.
A river wide, with stones to hop,
They leaped and skipped, never to stop.
Beneath the boughs of ancient trees,
They felt the whispering forest breeze.
A riddle from a wise old owl,
Guided them with a hoot and howl.
The path grew steep, the forest dense,
But courage held, their recompense.
A hidden cave, with gems aglow,
The treasure found, a radiant show.
Yet, in this tale of youthful glee,
They learned the joy of unity.
For treasures, yes, are precious things,
But friendship's gem forever clings.
Back through the forest, hand in hand,
They left the woods, a merry band.
The enchanted forest, a memory grand,
A tale of friendship in this magic land.

In your own words, summarize the excerpt. Be sure to TIE it together by identifying the topic of the passage, the information provided, and the central idea.
In the year 1787, during the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, the Founding Fathers of the United States gathered to draft the Constitution, a pivotal document that would shape the nation's governance. Led by figures such as George Washington, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin, the framers aimed to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and establish a more robust framework for a federal government. Through heated debates and compromises, they crafted a document that laid the foundation for the principles of democracy, separation of powers, and individual rights. The resulting Constitution, ratified in 1788, has since served as the enduring cornerstone of American governance, embodying the aspirations and ideals of a fledgling nation.
