Poem of the Day: 22 May 2005

A bicycle with squeaky wheels goes by the window

A bicycle with squeaky wheels goes by the window
Two people with strong Bronx accents speak with loud voices
Cars and trucks drive by
Pencils scratch paper
Shoes shuffle
Paper crackles
Music plays
Metal jingles
Hearts beat
Blood pumps
Things go fast and slow.

Diana M. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#206)

Red Fox, Red Fox

Red Fox, Red Fox
Hear the sound
Horses hooves along the ground
Red Fox, Red Fox
Hunt horns wail
Chasing you through copse and vale
Red Fox, Red Fox
Hounds panting come
Driving you far away from home
Red Fox, Red Fox
Run to me
And I’ll hide you from all who see
Red Fox, Red Fox
On my chest
Lay your weary head and rest.

Diana M. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#207)

You can hear the bass below it all,
Governing the chaos
A sunburst sings a melody
To the black demon of curved horns
Amplified, all can be heard 
     If they so wish
Never mind the breaking, the ringing in their ears,
     you all will leave them just as they are

             stiff

Scout P. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#208)
