The first poems we wrote were on the theme of memory.  The second was on the theme of the future.  We had a very special visitor today, Sarita Krugman, and she's agreed to let us post her entries here (thanks Sarita!).

Dear Friend of Compass,

Who Am I ?

Wno Am I?

by Valencia "Oranges" Patterson

 

I am the muscle beating in your chest

some may call it a loving heart

but when I get overworked

it's over when it starts

I am the knuckles in your fingers

I'm used for many things

Health Week

Health Week is almost here!!
