My 13th Summer

by Moses Mellish - 8th grade

by Micah Hawxhurst - 5th grade Grade 8

It's unbearable heat piercing my skin

As If a thousand fire ants have bitten me all at once

My dry lips wanting just a drop of water

but I can't stop listening to the birds chirping overhead

Like a chorus singing all at once

Enchanting me just to watch them play in the sky

calling for their friends to join them

Till it goes to a halt when they hear my brother shouting

Scrambling to their homes to hide

I scream with fury at my brother to stop all of that shouting

He stops to leave the woods in peace

My 13th summer comes to an end with the first leaf falling from a tree
