I am a Chick

I am a chick

I wonder where my mom went

I hear a fox sneaking by

I see a cave to hide in

I want my mom

I am terrified

I pretend I have my mom

I feel someone beside me

I touch my mom’s beak

I understand the fox was very hungry

I say I was scared

I dream the fox will go away

A Sad Flower

I touch my stem

I understand my problem

I say do not pick me

I dream that I did not say that

  I Am a Flower

I am a flower

I wonder when I will bloom

I understand…this is my third time

waiting to bloom

I say “oh I am trapped”!

I dream about spring

I Was Picked

I am a flower.

I wonder what it would be like if I could walk.

I hear the pot flunk on the ground,

water splashing inside.

I see her reaching down, scissors in hand.

I want to stay alive.

I am a flower.

I pretend she doesn’t have a pot.

I feel something cold touching me.

I touch the cool water, and I am very thirsty.

I understand that I was picked,

but I still don’t want to be.

I say I need HELP! The forget-me-nots

hear me,

and they already forgot.

I dream that it’s a dream,

but it’s not, and I think I like it.
