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.
