Drowning Petal
by
Brandon King
I feel like a small petal in the water.
…all alone in the water about to sink.
…just hoping someone would save me, but I’m wrong.
I’m just drowning in the water!
Good Days
by
Brenaya Obazughanmwen
My day was good.
Don’t get it misunderstood.
I was very blessed.
My day was a success!
I learned new things.
There’s a lot of joy to bring.
I didn’t fail my test.
Yeah, I did my best.
My friends got my back.
They help me when I’m attacked.
Sometimes I gaze, and I am so amazed
About my days.
