Charlotte Pinkney Poems

It's Monday morning,
And I'm feeling low.
Got to go to school,
I don't feel like it though.
...

I sit in the house
And I smell the flowers
As the cats
Stalk around my book
...

A big cat
The jaguar
Lies in wait
It's curling tail
...

It wasn’t me who,
Gave the dog a shave,
Or put the cat in a cave,
Or put the goldfish in the loo,
...

Row upon row of beds
3 tiers high
Some collapsed.
Men, women, children,
...

Dark dreams and white horses,
Breath stops and heart pauses.
The rider.
Hooves gallop and heart beats,
...

She sat there,
And stayed there,
Not moving,
For a day.
...

He sits in the class,
A smile on his face.
Yet when he gets home,
He is sad and afraid
...
