Notes About The Poem

Contest: Search That Bus

 

Leave No One Behind

Pigmented leather, indeed, make sure it is clean of belongings,
especially bodies with clothes. Search overhead and underneath
for the precious tots. Leave no one behind. Search arduously.
Though the time spent bores you to tears, you’d be wrung out
if you forget to do your spot check. Then forever after you’ll ride
that bus, in daydreams and nightmares, always searching. Search!

Paige Hind March 25, 2024 at 4:20 PM Hmmm, I had to read Joseph's comment to better understand this...lost belongings? Still, your writing style has my brain at 'attention'- lol Kim Rodrigues March 26, 2024 at 2:36 PM The contest was “Search the Bus,” for kids have been left on the bus, for example, perhaps falling asleep. Some have died.
