I See, a poem by Mairead Sheehy-Moss, 12

I See

Mairead Sheehy-Moss, 12

Plants soaking up the sun
putting my hair in a bun
just for seeing no one
I see a rotten piece of gum
and a big fat purple plum
sitting there, yum


This poem was written in response to our Daily Creativity prompt #58: Write a Poem About What You See
