Poem of the Day: 13 Jun 2005

A person’s like a branch

A person’s like a branch with too many twigs;
they will grab and prick you
and they will lose their
green hair as fall comes;
they stay in one place
and have no feet...
a person’s like a branch
with too many twigs.

Maile S. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#294)

Pencil

At the top an eraser emerged
Next three thin strips of green metal
Then a long piece of wood painted yellow, with green writing
And a tip of lead you write with.

Kate H. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#295)

A cold chill causes my hair to dance

A cold chill causes my hair to dance
in the breeze, even underneath
my warm coat, I am cold.
Am I cold? Or am I cold inside?
My pace is slow.
It gets slower as I approach the bus stop.
I stop, and look up, but it is only to see
the dark sky, is it dark?
Or are my eyes simply dark?
Time is slowing down, or am I simply slowing down...
When the bus comes I miss it,
I don’t even see it. The bus driver asks me if I’m coming on,
and I shake my head and watch it leave.
