School Journal Poem Innovation

By Kaitrin McMullan

Hey!

Hey, Sky!
Your bright blue fingers
pick up my hair,
swing it like a basket –
I like that!

Hey, Sun!
Your dandelion clock hands
warm my bare shoulders,
squint my cheeks into a smile –
I like that!

Hey, Trees!
Your million zillion arms
all waving “Green! Green!”
fill my eyes with sweet leaf music –
I like that!

Hey, Day!
Your wide-open hug
picks me up and squeezes me
till I can’t breathe for laughing –
I like that!

Hey!
