Wish Poem #1
by Katie W.
when I was young
I used to wish that
the sun would
never go down
today I wish
to see my friend
smile
everyday I wish
for something
I cannot explain
(but…)
my wish is the color
of a Mexican sunset
red, orange and pink
it is the sound
of my mother’s laughter
echoing off the trees
my wish is as big
as the blue Pacific Ocean
at times ebbing,
but always powerful
my wish is immense
my wish feels like
soft, warm sand
and tastes like
fresh, cool red tomatoes
my wish is
always in reach
but remains
ahead of me
my wish is
necessary
