Sun On Your Face, by Phoebe, Grade 4

student art poetry | Lyn Littlefield Hoopes

Morning glory dozing dreaming of wishes

can you keep a secret, green soft sunshine?

Of memories, almost lost in the monster of time

Keep the morning, the love, the friendship, the fear,

sweet dew drops holding a tear

ballerina opening slowly to a sugary sun

smiling softly longing for fun

opening, petal by petal

for it takes some time for the sun to settle

be patient, little gift

ruffly dress silky swift

peachy fingers

gentle breeze lingers

emerald green gloves

sugary sun every flower loves

reaching, soft gray cresents

hugging the ground,

wrapped up tight like presents
