Metaphor

By

Zoe, age 12

 

Life is a movie

The beginning,

not making much sense

But later on,

containing adventures

Tragedies

Confusion

Understanding

Problems

Solutions

And at the end,

Walking out

Feeling dizzy

And ready to go home.

 

 
 
Music
 
By
 
Arin
Age 13
 
 
Music is play
Not work
Like some may think
To me
It’s pleasure.
 
Enveloped with magical tone
Escape to a world
Entirely your own
No worries
No thoughts
But
Crescendo,
Vibrato,
Diminuendo.
 
Songs fill me
Flute etudes
To violin sonatas
Always changing
But never completely
leaving
  my mind.
 
Before instruments
When I was small
Even then
I loved music.
 
We played the fridge
Spoons on jars
Each note
Different utensils
Awed
At the diverse
Harmony
That everyday objects
Can create.
