      June 17, 2017The MessengerMadeline King

      He came with the news
      The wonderful news
      The war was over
      We danced through the night
      He came with the news
      The terrible news
      The president died
      We all mourned together
      He comes with the news
      The big and small news
      The everyday news
      The news of the century
      He travels abroad
      Spreading gossip and fact
      But he always comes back
      The man with the news

      from 2017 RYPA

      Madeline King (age 12)

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I was inspired to write this poem by a book character who acts as a messenger. He was a person who connected others and brought news of surrounding cities and towns.”
