MY ROOM

My Room

By Kaitlin Olsen
Lyme School, Grade 7

The clothes on my floor
Blanket the ground like lush green grass
On the forest floor
My dresser leans up against my green walls
Like a rock just lying there in the middle of the forest
My closet full of clutter
Like leaves and twigs lazily lying on the cold dirt
My bed is a well full of nourishment
With a blanket of snow
That I cuddle in at night to make me warm
And
Say Goodnight.
