Poem of the Day: 29 Apr 2005

The day has come
From autumn to come
When the leaves come
Down and crunch
Beneath my feet.

Now the day has come
For winder to come
When the snow comes
Down and smushes
Beneath my feet.

Sophie B. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#114)

She looks further than
The eye can see
He sinks
Lower than the ground
She dreams
When she’s awake
He laughs
As the sadist time
She loves
In her time of hatred
He counts
Higher than the last number
She jumps
Higher than the sky
He lives
Longer than life.

Ava P. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#115)

Bustling people in that white house of stone
Talking;
From their mouths fly mandates
Like those from the oligarchs of old
And each word they say,
Each utterance,
Just a few vocal noises that
Cause the would to
Change.

Eli M. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#116)
