2010 5th-6th Grade Poetry Winner

Through and around,
Back through again and
Off.
She is somewhere else,
Thinking it through again,
Then putting it off.
He is sitting next to me,
I am putting him through,
Trying to make him understand,
and around.
She is putting me through this
Again.
He is going around trying to understand why I hold him off.
Through and around,
Back through again and
Off.
