Mairead Sheehy-Moss, 12New York, NY I See Mairead Sheehy-Moss, 12 Plants soaking up the sun putting my hair in a bun just for seeing no one I see a rotten piece of gum and a big fat purple plum sitting there, yum This poem was written in response to our Daily Creativity prompt #58: Write a Poem About What You See

Giselle Stern, 11Sunnyvale, CA The Shot Giselle Stern, 11 Don’t throw away your shot Opportunities received Fleeting like the wind Seize it while you can Be a rising star Rise up with the shot It’s just a leap of faith Albert Einstein, a shrewd scientist, Leonardo da Vinci, a radical Renaissance man, Michael Phelps, a swift swimmer, Ludwig Beethoven, a creative composer, Alexander Hamilton, a founding father, They didn’t throw away their shot The hotshots rose up to the rooftops Jonas Salk invented the Polio shot Now everyone searches For a covid shot To cure the sick And stop the spread We are seizing the shot To protect the community When you seize the shot And rise up like the sun When you ameliorate a problem Have a celebration Take a Fanta shot with friends And remember You didn’t throw away your shot A poem inspired by a song–”My Shot,” from the musical Hamilton.
