Poem of the Day: 31 May 2005

As I gaze out the window

As I gaze out the window
of my great aunt’s house,
I see two ladies,
both as grim as night.
They rock back and forth
in their snow white rocking chairs.
They knit their
light pink scarves.
As the wind blows,
their teeth chatter.
They slowly walk inside,
their backs bent, their hands closed
around a cane.
Their thin hands pull
the covers over their shivering bodies.
And they fall into a deep, deep sleep.

Emma O. (Middle School, 2004-5) (p#241)
