Poems by Makayla


Sleeping Goldfish

After kindergarten
a surprise
swims in circles

Two goldfish
hide inside
an underwater castle

A week later
the fish sleep upside down
after I fed them

A kitchen sieve
tries to wake them
from their slumber

In the bathroom
I say a prayer
and flush the fish funeral

Haikus by Makayla

Haiku

Cherry Blossoms
scattered on the ground
snow in spring.

Pukekos reflect
the blue sky
summer clouds float

A clown entertains
little kids
playground circus

Newborn babies
cry in the sun
fresh fruit salad.
