Poem commemorating our visit to Napa Elementary School

Mary Frances Spencer

POETS INVADING

we infiltrated another
elementary school
weapons
locked loaded
shooting ideas
bombs overhead
pencils in hand

the enemy
blank lined sheets
white paper
crying out for mercy
as the young

students scribbled
unleashed
their
poetic volley
word by word

we left
creative wreckage
and maybe some bits
of inspiration
floating in the dust
