APRIL 6, 2011
It’s National Poetry Month!
To celebrate, Belmar Library’s teen advisory board, THE DREAM TEAM, wrote some poems as a group. Within the poems you will find sense, nonsense, and a whole lot of in-between. If you can and if you dare, dear readers, please share in the comments a word that rhymes with ORANGE!

 

#1
In the misty morning through the mire
The word I cannot squire
Through the crowded corridor
She opened the door and there on the floor
Lay an ice-cold box
Corporate America is the result of greedy big businessmen
Pushing down the average Joe and allowing them no
Opportunity for success, in effect crushing the American
Dream for the vast majority of the population.
 
#2
I have both a mother and a father
And they are both a giant bother
To me and my brother
For they feed us molten lava
Through the roof underground
And they hide us in the freezer.
Brrr. It’s cold.
 
#3
Books are full of life
Rimming with personality
Wise as owls and foolish as
Ducks. Where oh where do the ducks go during winter?
A book could answer that—
One that’s about greatness
One to rule them all.

Check back next week for some more of The Dream Team's nonsense.
