Poem of the Day: 31 Jul 2005

...It went down

Today was supposed to be the best day of my life
I had it all planned out
nothing could go wrong....
I sat in front of the television tying my hair up
getting ready I had been waiting all summer long
and it was finally time to go back
I didn’t know why but every one seemed
to be crying

Every channel was on a certain picture
I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen
I didn’t understand what was happening
what was on the television screen....
I didn’t know why but every one seemed
to be crying

I asked my Mom
tears in her eyes
what was happening
what
I didn’t know why
but every one seemed
to be crying

Mikela S. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#485)
