"Third Grade" a poem


Third Grade

Summer is
a pier.

Where school,
schedules, recitation,
are left behind
within locked halls.

Where she lifts her chin, listens
as mountain's cool breeze
recites poetry
against sandy lake shore.

Where laughter, silliness,
exhaustion from yelling,
are the only rules.

Where to her horror,
she notices the right angle
the pier makes with the shore.

Yes, my third grader was HORRIFIED when this "math" thought popped into her mind this summer.  I was secretly pleased :)  These photos I took with my iPhone.
