Christine's Cinquain

Soil

 

Soil
Brown, Rocky
It grows food
Soft, Squeaky
Humus

Grapes

Quick question: In her poem, Christine mentions that humus has a sound, squeaky. What other sounds does soil make? Does a sand sound the same as a clay? If you know or have any ideas, email us at: globe@ltpmail.gsfc.nasa.gov.

Christine is a third grader at a Cape May, New Jersey elementary school.
