Carrie Richards Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Black and White : Image Number 1

The hands
are quick 
to pick
the keys
to play
the tune
"Chop Sticks"
No sharps
or flats
Go left
Go right
Move up
and down
white keys
to pound
to make
the sound
of glee!
The blacks
are bummed
they missed
the fun
to make
a song
so bright!
