Poem: The Shadow

In Mrs. Jessica Redman's third grade class at Muddy Brook Regional Elementary School students have been learning about poetry -- and writing some, too , as the above poem attests. After the school assembly on Thursday, June 11, students will return to their classrooms to read their poetry to their families.
The Shadow

What’s that shadow lurking in my room?

you and I might not see her all the time but let me tell you she’s there.

I’m afraid to open my eyes

but I take a deep breath and open my eyes

and she’s gone

she is afraid of me.

So I say, “it’s ok” and she says “ok” with a voice as soft as the winter snow.

But my brother was asleep so he could not hear any of this.

I went to get out of my bed

and she ran

She ran away from me.

Then I hear someone calling my name

“wake up Davy wake up!”
