For Children

the

2010 5th-6th Grade Poetry Honorable Mention

The word the
always goes
before things, never
on its own-
so I decided to give it a poem-
here goes nothing:
ODE TO THE
the always leads up to words
giving them a grand entrance
sentences would sound weird without the:
dog walks in room
pencil writes words down.
There you go the- that was your poem.
