      July 27, 2019Ethan PaulkSometimes I Sing

      Sometimes I sing a song for you in my head
      But I can never remember the words
      You make them up as I go along
      Tracing a hand down your hair
      Always looking away in photographs
      At something you can’t see yet
      Humming the slight, hopeful refrain
      Which I will turn into a symphony

      from 2019 RYPA

      Ethan Paulk (age 15)

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “To me, poetry is the space where I can experiment with cadence and word placement without the need to conform to a plot or theme. As a result, my poetry is the most visceral expression of what I believe.”
