Poem of the Day: 17 Apr 2005

When people talk,

When people talk,
are they heard?
When people write,
is it read?
When people lie,
does anyone know?
While I’m writing this,
does anyone know what I’m writing?

Chloe S. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#66)

sitting in a maze of thorns

sitting in a maze of thorns
and free
lying in a maze of branches
and free
being with nature
free,

life

Aaron M. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#67)

Mercury Girl

She’s got her nails painted gold
Parents getting old
And frankly I don’t know just what to do
But if I were you
I’d act a little less colder towards her
Take her on a walk and
Get her head back on her shoulders

There’s some silver plated glass
If you turn yourself around
Get off your ass girl
You’re better than that
But you
Won’t

It’s what’s keeping you cooped up
Locked up, lockdown
Look down, look around
My little mercury girl.

That’s exactly it
No one ever told you you were different
From everyone else
No I didn’t say that they
Lied, but you were
Lying to yourself
Before you found him

If only you saw yourself
The way I saw you
You could make that silver plated glass
Disappear too

But you Won’t
It’s what’s keeping you cooped-up
Locked up, lockdown
Look down, look around
My little mercury girl.

Scout P. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#68)
