Fall by Natasha Niemi
The chilly weather settles into
your bones. Those once green
leaves turn Red, yellow, orange,
and brown. CRRNCH! go the
leaves,, Beneath your feet. The
birds fly in a victory “V”

the skies. The days of winter are
lurking around Waiting to be free
falling.

I am Super Samson Simpson,
I'm superlatively strong,
I like to carry elephants,
I do it all day long,

for I have strength to spare.

Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.

Seeking a home where he himself is free . . . .

I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars. . . . .

Time slides
a gentle ocean
waves upon

washing the shore,
loving the shore.
The road was a
ribbon wrapped
through the
dessert.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder where you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder, where you
are.

The wind yells
while blowing.
