WE THE POETS
Poets of the Month


March 2009


Jessie, University City High School

What Is My Fear?

Is it that I get confused
from things I don't know?
Is it that I fear choice,
to do right and wrong?
I have this idea
that flew through my head,
is that what I fear? What is my fear?

 
Is it to overcome my surroundings
that I fear?
Is it that I fear reality?
What if I cannot keep up with
all the things that are going on,
is that what I fear?
What is my fear?

 
My fear is the myth
that I don't know
what I fear most.

Clara Colley and George Leecan

 

Air - The Breeze

 

It goes through your hair

Wakes people up

Also puts them to sleep

It makes them relax

        And makes you live

You have to have air to breathe

Fresh Air

Comes off the ocean

To wake up in the morning

Or from taking a nap

The aroma of food in your nostrils

We say wake up “I smell food”

It’s so nice that we have

fresh air to breathe.

Oh, how sweet it is

to have the breeze blowing

in your face on a hot day

Oh the breeze
