Poem of the Day: 17 May 2005

The wood burned

The wood burned
and embers flew
and the fire raged
and all the things
that lived by
got burned to ash and dust

I don’t know
why it
gets so mad
except for when
it gets put out
it gets so mad
that it steams and hisses

Maile S. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#185)
