Window Poem


Healthy green grass and a cul-de-sac open for anyone.
A pair of trees, growing bigger as the seasons change.
A large tree with green leaves and a smaller one that's perfect for climbing.
The leaves had fallen and they have changed from green to orange.
Outside seems darker, with clouds covering the sun.
Sometimes I see a couple of people riding their bicycles in the cul-de-sac,
I always smile and give a friendly wave.
I am waiting for lunch to be ready so I can go back outside and play in the warmth.
In the distance I see a few farm animals and a house that's occupied.
I can never see the people who live there, though I know someone does.

I see long yellow-greenish grass.
There is a beautiful tree that has ripe pears growing from it.
Something is different today.
All of the animals are no where to be seen.
Sometimes, when it's about to storm, they go to the barn and hide out for safety.
I had just woken up and this is my view of the day,
but the sky was dark, the sun covered by clouds.
In the distance I see a neighborhood with a cul-de-sac.
Sometimes I see people riding their bikes and a little girl always playing outside.

  1. I love how you connected the Hopper scene to the little girl in the other house...Very clever!
