Trees

By Cora Sloan
Richmond Middle School, Grade 7

like strong hands
holding the world together
strong roots
reaching down
into the damp soil
leaves
swaying gently.
All you need
is a little courage
and you can climb
to the very top.

Anger

Anger

By Cora Sloan
Richmond Middle School, Grade 7

crept into the back of my mind
setting my eyes and my mouth
on fire
its eyes
making me clench my fists
its hands
making my mouth utter sharp words
stinging those
around me.
