      July 2, 2022Old ToysMelody Maxfield Cortez

      I remember when I was little it would be the weekend
      and my mom would work at her old job, Walgreens
      we would have no school so we would have to stay
      in the breakroom and we would wait
      then I would get free toys and
      me and my sister would play with the toys
      and my mom asked do you want to get some food?
      and I said yeah and she said you are so sweet
      and I had so much fun.
      And I still have those toys
      but there is so much dust on them

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I like to write poems because when you write poems you can see the image. As you write, you can see more images, and you can rhyme the words together and you can make your own poems in your own words. You can use your own words.”
