Will it Ever End? Cora Burch, 13 I wish we could all calm down. The bright sky We brought from this Is sinking beneath the clouds of fear We wrought. Tell me, mother– Will it ever end? Canned beans and soups Stock the pantry full Yet it is not a war Not an earthquake We are facing. Tell me, mother– Can we come together without Coming together? Will we walk upon the earth Hand in hand Learn to hug again To laugh together without Six feet between. I often wonder- Tell me, mother- Will it ever end? Or will we simply have to wait forever? Cora Burch, 13Van Nuys, CA

Tick Tock, a poem by Emerson Swift, 12
Tick Tock By Emerson Swift, 12 Sluggish slow-motion, Motion—we’re stuck, Stuck in time, Time flies by, By our loved ones, Ones who are sick, tick, tick, tick, We don’t think there’s hope, Hope, in everyday things, Things like chalked messages, Messages that are kind, Kind of like inspiration, Inspiration plays a trick, tick, tick, People nowadays, Nowadays the hope, Hope has eyes, Eyes that are looking Looking forward to your next breath— Your next step, Steps which make invisible imprints, Imprints that are taking over our planet, Our planet has kicked us out Out so it can erase the human’s footprints, Footprints of the past, The past can form a path, A path that we can pick, tick, Now write a letter, Letters are what you receive, Received from people, People who are thinking about you You find yourself wondering, Wondering what will these memories become? Emerson Swift, 12 Mill Valley, CA
Uzbekistan Pupils Against Coronavirus, a poem by Marjona Boboeva, 11
Uzbekistan Pupils Against Coronavirus By Marjona Boboeva, 11 The globe is facing a challenge now, Countries are trying to solve it how. Coronavirus even in far village, We should overcome this big challenge. Uzbekistan is fighting against the virus, To turn the number of it into minus. Being pupils of school № 64, We should keep ourselves busy more. Drawing, painting could bring us fun, Lots of activities rather than none! We could read interesting books, This, of course, widens our looks. We could do English, History, Listening to an interesting story. Sport activities could improve the health, While the health is the source of wealth! Dear pupils, learn online, Doing exercises standing in line. Be always thankful to your teachers, They are giving you future vouchers. #Stayhome and win the virus, Decreasing the number into minus! Marjona Boboeva, 11 Tashkent, Uzbekistan
