Student Work: Apple Small Poem by Jose Manuel Millan Morales
Apple Small Poem
by Jose Manuel Millan Morales from Roosevelt High School
Published in the 2006-2007 WITS Anthology Mostly What I’m Made Of
It looks round with different colors: red, yellow, green, orange.
It smells sweet and sour.
It tastes juicy with lots of flavor.
It sounds really silent, that makes you relax.
It feels pretty hard, hard enough to hurt someone.
Rumble Into Eternity
Swing Set
Against The Indigo Sky
I was teaching in Jose’s class when he wrote this poem. To me this poem is like a still-life painting.
