'E'

2021 5th & 6th Grade Poetry Honorable Mention

E is the eider duck effortlessly paddling. E is an elastic, elderly thing that roams
elegantly through our speech. E is elevated, enlightened above all else. E is the Elf owl,
eerily electric in the glow of the night. E is the elusive moon that eclipses everything
inside of me. E is eliminated from the embarrassed embrace, as it will not stand for such
things. E the ladder, already embalmed. E the essence of embroidery, the emperor of
empathy. E endures claims of a prior engagement without complaint. E is the enigma
that we all enjoy. E is elite and embowed, elaberate in every way. E is the embassy of
emphasis, an element without a name. E is the emotion that comes with emergency,
emerging after dawn. E is emphatically empty, enchained to the unchanging empire. E is
the employer of the end, which is happening right now.
