Black (Poems From 7th Grade #2)

What is Black? Black is the thunder in the sky Clashing against the clouds It's the black liquorish That you get from the store It's the smoke rising from the fire Black is quiet As the silent night Black is the bat in cave It's wings fluttering It's the ghost in the house Moaning and wailing in sorrow Black is the chocolate You get from Baskin Robins Black is the coffee you get from Starbucks It's the air you feel through your hands It's the black cat That crosses your street Black is the panther that walks through the jungle Black makes you lonely Black makes you sad Black starts death Black marks evil Black is the evil That hurts the world That is what Black is.
