For Mrs. Rogers, who spent so much of her time making these poems possible.

Pencils

Sharp, long and new-

Many things to do.

Cherished, used and old-

Lovely as gold.

–

Waterfall

As it dances in the light

The trees sigh with delight.

It sparkles and glitters

Like birds in a titter.

–

The Bed

Neat, nice, not messy.

Sheet smooth, pillows propped up-

But children approach.

–

Bookshelf

Thick, thin, tall, small, books.

Disordered from constant use

Now in eager hands.
