It’s National Poetry Month! (Part 3)

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!

#6
There once was a girl
Who lived in a cage
Because she hurt the squiggly line.
What a crime-she made it straight
Then crooked, then round, then orange
Then you defiled it and made it a door hinge
Which is why she was here in this terrible cage.

#7
Falling slowly from rock-hard clouds
The crystal flakes lit the sky with their
Attributes greatly resembling frozen water.
Or perhaps the pure white lace of angels
That fly well and protect us
And keep us shielded from harm
As I fall into the dark hole of time.

Stay tuned next week for the finale!
