Listen to poem:

Within the Lines

Within the Lines
David J Walker

It’s not the same if coloring within the lines
Other kids are perfect while mine
 wander out the window 
leaving the carefully planned
Lesson plans 
		Behind

There 	
	In the park
There are treasures left to find
In convex caves 
		A flag that waves 
And fables come to mind 

Of a boy unable to color 
Within the lines
