A Short Story
The ant climbs up a trunk
carrying a petal on its back;
and if you look closely
that petal is as big as a
house especially compared
to the ant that carries it so
olympically.
You ask me: Why couldn’t I
carry a petal twice as big as
my body and my head?
Ah, but you can, little girl,
But not petals from a dahlia,
Rather boxes full of
thoughts And load of magic
hours, and
A wagon of clear dreams,
and
A big castle with its fairies:
All the petals that form the
soul of
A little girl who speaks and
speaks…!
~David Escobar Galindo

Spring in New
Hampshire
Too green the springing
April grass, Too Blue the
silver-speckled sky, for
me to linger here, alas,
While happy winds go
laughing by, Wasting the
golden hours indoors,
Washing windows and
scrubbing floors.
Too wonderful the April
night, To faintly sweet
the first May flowers, The
stars too gloriously
bright, The me to spend
the evening hours, When
fields are fresh and
streams are leaping,
wearied, exhausted,
dully sleeping.
~Claude McKay

The Land of Nod by
Robert Louis Stevenson
From breakfast on all through
the day
At home among my friends I
.
stay;
But every night I go abroad
Afar into the land of Nod.
All by myself I have to go,
With none to tell me what to
do–
All alone beside the streams
And up the mountain-sides of
dreams.
The strangest things are there
for me,
Both things to eat and things
to see,
And many frightening sights
abroad
Till morning in the land of
Nod.
Try as I like to find the way,
I never can back by day,
Nor can remember plain and
clear
The curious music that I hear.

Poetry
The aliens have landed!
It's distressing, but they're here.
They piloted their flying saucer
through our atmosphere.
.
They landed like a meteor
engulfed in smoke and flame.
Then out they climbed immersed
in slime
and burbled as they came.
Their hands are greasy tentacles.
Their heads are weird machines.
Their bodies look like cauliflower
and smell like dead sardines.
Their blood is liquid helium.
Their eyes are made of granite.
Their breath exudes the stench of
foods
from some unearthly planet.
And if you want to see these
sickly, unattractive creatures,
you'll find them working in your
school;
they all got jobs as teachers!
