Friday Poem of the Week!
An extra special Friday today, looking forward to Memorial Day Weekend! Today's Friday Poem of the Week is titled "The Stone" by Zoe S. of Maple Elementary. Way to go Zoe!
The Stone
By Zoe R. Storm
Maple Elementary School
In front of me I can see
Purple crystals.
I flip it over then I see
an ugly side.
It is yellowish brown and black.
Two different sides.
Two different lives.
One ugly.
One beautiful.
The Purple side looks like knives.
Knives that had just been sharpened.
What is your favorite side?
