6th Grade Poet!!!!!!

Anthony P. Gonzalez of Burbank Middle School wrote this recently in my poetry workshop there:

AFTER SCHOOL

I walk home
in freshness
for millions of
drops of water

Then I sit
for roasted
crispy chicken
and liquid

After I finish
mathematics
I get a cold
icy treat on
a stick

Next I kick
a ball with
black pentagons
on it

When I come
home
I have
liquid from skin

Finally I fall
on cotton
and close eyes
for another day
