The Walk to School

Orange backpack and glasses
he stands at the corner.
A grin as a friend approaches.
They turn, chatting excitedly
Orange and green, side by side
walking to school
to teach.

  1. First of all, I think the choice to color the words was brilliant. I'm also intrigued by this poem because the definition of a "a friend" in this case is abstract. By this, I don't mean the poem should change. I just like the small portrait of their interactions we receive, and I am left to wonder what their history is...

  2. So much depends upon...two people finding comfort in each other. This poem is as visual as WCW's poem, a moment frozen, packed with relationships. Beautiful.
