Poem of the Day: 27 Mar 2005

Fun in the Rockies
A family vacation,
Racing around
Like noon recreation


The aquarium was
Fun in the Rockies
I played crusher
Pounding shapes into pennies

I whipped around
To find them gone
Fun in the Rockies
Was totally done

I asked the desk man
If I could call my mom
He said sure since
Fun the Rockies was gone.

We waited outside
The sadness hurt
But soon fun in the Rockies
Came running in a yellow shirt

I looked into his eyes as
He looked into mine
They were just as big
yet
They concealed something twice as imaginary
in the midst of the blue and the gray
      only to come out
    on a later day.

Scout P. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#955)

I see a boat off in the distance
The water is shimmering
I sit in the warmth of my grandmother’s lap
The smell in the air is oceany
I hear the voice of my grandma
And the voice of the sea,
