I am zooming up the atmosphere.
Thru Hubble I see myself on Pluto.
I say Hello but he can't hear in space.
I do the hokey-pokey and he understands.
We meet at Mars and I startle Me playing Monopoly.
it's scorching hot so we all play leapfrog in the cool canals.
Alex Flenniken -- I am 12 years old and I believe my poems reflect the way my brain works. I read the poems on the bus every morning on my way to school and I like the simple ones the best. My hobbies include randomly making up songs, and electronics. Acting is my most important hobby and I want to do that when I grow up.
the sea is born
from the mother wave.
the weather is born
from the storm.
the wind is born
from the air and has
the right shape to
bang things.
time is born from
the years.

Living Will
All day long at the lawyer's office
I divide lives into columns of
loved ones, possessions and value.
The engaged niece gets the good silver,
the trusty neighbor gets a beat-up Pinto,
the prodigal son is reinserted as "Heir."
Some sign off with a smile,
others get wistful -- Everyone
knows they can't take it with them.
So if I depart the world
today, this I leave you.
1. A cloudless day at Golden Gardens
2. Wild strawberries
3. All thirty-two minutes
and fifty-nine seconds
of "A Love Supreme."

sunlight bursting
smiles, yellow flowers
robins' eggs
and a warm breeze
