Poem Title:
Poem
Sky I saw Mr. Sun outside So hot, I was terrified Went nearly blind And almost fainted and died He has no hands, eyes Nor feet But why? The big yellow flame in the sky Was chased by the rain And ran away to hide in the dark, gray ,gloomy clouds But only after melting my icy and chocolate bar I did not see the sun for days And grew old and could not wait I was warned to not go outside For I would get sick and not survive Still, I wanted to be wild Like I am inside But I had to be civilized I wanted to be young and muddy Wet my hair and soak my clothes and my feet I wanted to build mud houses And make mud pie I wanted to be a pig for goodness sake But the rain poured and left mud slides Homes flooded and left mold behind Lightning struck and took the life out of our t.v. Just as the angered thunder roared a beastly roar and shook us We ate dirt and worms Sweet, gummy, colorful and chewy ones That were inside of a planter With sweet, frosted chocolate cookie crumbs We grew black and white mustaches and beards We laughed and made s’mores and almost forgot the chores The rain and thunder put us to sleep When the sun does return It can burn And burn And burn As I will be under the shade Staring at it with my dark, black shades With my icy and chocolate bar in hand Marckincia Jean Free verse 05/20/19
