My Poem is Hiding
by Samantha , grade 3
 
My poem is hiding
Somewhere outside me.
Visiting some other poem
Without telling me.
It's worried that I'll say no
You can't go
So it can't be friends with others.
Sometimes it tells me
And I say "Yes" or I say "No."
But it doesn't care,
Silently it sneaks away
Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe.
Right now it's here with me
Waiting for another
Chance to leave me
Once again.
