A Secret's Journey

2021 3rd & 4th Grade Poetry Honorable Mention

In a trash can on the street, in an outlet, on the underside of a leaf, In the mug of coffee, In the air vent,
on top of a tree, tied to a bird's foot. On the second hand of a clock, in the light bulb, hidden in the
hubcap of a car. Flying in the turbine of a jet plane, Falling with the fat, wet rain and melting into the
indomitable sound, resting on the ground. Waiting to get let into the warm, nice home, smelling of
ginger and finally, the light shines upon the wet secret and it is welcomed in.
