Poem of the Day: 31 Mar 2005

I slid off the rainbow
and instead of
falling on a cloud,
I fell to my death.

Eliza S. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#970)

Creeping down the stairs
Hiding from Santa
Reaching in stockings
Ignoring the cards
Sipping warm soup
Taking Christmas carols to other houses
Making thank you notes
Attacking each other with snowballs
Snow drifting

Evie A. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#971)

I am walking down the road
I see a stream
and then it comes to me
that flowing current
the trickling I heard from my
house all day
sliding down it in the winter
diving into it in the summer’
the memory comes to me.
