Poem of the Day: 21 Jun 2005

warm, soft drips of salty joy

warm, soft drips of salty joy
dropped down the rosy cheeks
and fell into the sky slipping
into the dreams of little ones

Julian S. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#326)

Children scream in the hall

Children scream in the hall
the faint cries resounding, going in and out of our heads
rebounding off our faintest conscience
time crawls on
like the caterpillar crossing from leaf to leaf
trucks go by honking and swerving
cars are like ants weaving through the trucks
paper is crinkled
minds are working
you can almost hear their ticking
people outside are waiting for people who will
never show up
looking at their watches, waiting in vain.

Alyssa N. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#327)

Four people just walked into the room

Four people just walked into the room
Two people walked into the room
Everybody is starting to write
Somebody asked a question
Marty answered
Two people stopped to think
A boy entered the room
He looked for a seat
He sat down
Marty crumpled a piece of orange paper
A person dropped her pencil
She picked it up
Scout ripped a piece

Shanice S. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#328)
