Poems
Words That Remind Me Of School
By: Johann
Walk and talk. Indoor recess.
Homework. Detention.
Use your brain. Ask your peers.
Treat people the way you want to be treated.
Math. Language. Science.
Equations. Book.
Lunch. School bell.
Check your work.
Classroom. Geometry.
Test. You get an F.
Study. Learning.
French. Lockers.
Gym. P.A. days.
Religion. Binders. Projects.
Get to work. It’s a snow day!
Loud Things Are Beautiful
Loud things are beautiful:
Tubas and horns,
And elephants that trumpet
Like the crying newborn,
Clanging pots and pans,
Musical notes on the paper,
The volcano's eruption,
The concert’s front row seats.
Soft things are beautiful:
The soundless squeak of a mouse,
The howl of the wind
That silently brushes past you,
The quiet little boy,
The dripping of water,
The silent snowy owl
Preoccupied in flight.
