We are glad to share a poem written by one of our youth when a group of them met with Carol Peck from Poet-in-the-Schools to learn about the art of writing poetry. This poem we are sharing today was written by A.S.!

HOME

The back of my family,
The king of my throne,
The guard of the castle,
The one on my own;
I live in a world that most never see,
The place that you say never was or will be;
A land full of love filled with flowers and trees,
Mystical beings, nymphs, hobbits, and fairies,
Eating berries so sweet,
Prancing through my world on feet;
If I see a man, he fills me with terror,
I’ll soar towards my home, to better weather;
I dream of a day when the world will see
The way to live is here with me;
As I glide through the air with my wings full and rare,
My horn shimmering brightly with a golden glare,
I see the place where I’ll be forever and on,
My beauty, my home, my beloved Avalon.
