Poem inspired by a Napa Elementary School student!

Don Kingfisher Campbell

THE BOY WITH POEMS IN HIS HEAD

He keeps them inside
Always smiling

He's tapping his pencil
On the desk to beats

He quietly laughs
For his own reasons

His hair stands up
And then his teeth

Move a little in his mouth
Whispering words

So nobody can hear
Don't you wish

You had verses inside you too
He taps his noggin some more
