      July 31, 2021The Roller CoasterMatthew Burk

      The day I rode
      a roller coaster
      for the first time
       
      it seemed like fun
       
      but then
      it went upside down
       
      and I was terrified
       
      like I might
      break into a billion pieces
      onto the ground
       
      and my atoms
      would swell the earth
      bending space and time
       
      and the past would fall into the present.

      from 2021 RYPA

      Matthew Burk (age 8)

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I write poetry because it’s a way I can express my feelings with words and let my creativity just flow, turning my feelings into something that people can see as art.”
