The silence of a forest.
Feel the breeze.
No one is with me.
Do not come please.
I feel so well.
I do not realize I am sad.
But when I hear a faint sigh,
I am glad.
to know someone is with me.
Finally
I can breathe again.
In your presence.
I am not afraid nor sad.
I finally have company

11 year-old Dominique from Miami, Florida writes,
“My poem is about me wanting to have company because no one
likes me. The person
I am talking about is a friend of mine. Before he comes I feel as if
I am well.
“When he finally comes, I notice how lonely I felt .he finally gives
me company and I do not feel abandoned and afraid.
“I am 11 years old and next year I will be
12. I love poetry. At first I wanted to be an author because I liked
to make up stories. But then I made them shorter and shorter. Then,
I wanted to express myself. Finally I decided to be a poet.
My favorite authors are Lois Lowry and Emily Rodda (aka Jennifer
Rowe) and my
favorite poet is Lewis Carroll.”
