GET
AWAY
by Madison Gillis
I want to get away from here,
off to somewhere no where near.
There's got to be a road that
leads
to a place that will meet all my
needs.
Is the road made of asphalt or
stone?
Or is it a dirt road that will
lead me home?
As I ponder over the
possibilities
something catches my eye -- an
object in the trees!
I walk toward it and finally see
a little white house surrounded
by weeds.
The house is abandoned and all
worn down;
its once-tan shutters have
turned to brown.
It is calming in an interesting
way,
and I think to myself I'll
come back another day.
But after a while I decide to
stay,
for this is the place I can get
away.
