Thank you to Kaitlin Rhee, '18, for submitting and allowing us to share this awesome poem, "The Writer!" We hope it will inspire all of you to write something yourselves :)

The writer

Rise, rose, under the pensive summer sky

Stretch your head up and embrace the light of literacy

Bloom and blush blue

Fill your cup with purpley life

And let it drip to the ground

Until no drops are left and you

Have quenched the urge to write

To speak your thoughts on pages

Then you will have become a silent

Speaker with paper to communicate

With the world that quietly awaits your words

Rise, rose, to embrace the light of literacy

The world is listening
