LAST DAY OF SCHOOL (Monday Poem)

by Barbara Juster Esbensen


Look out!
If you aren't careful
it will happen like this:  Someone
will say the word
and that
word
will catapult you    down
the halls    out
the doors    and into
a serious collision
with
SUMMER!



from Cold Stars and Fireflies: Poems of the Four Seasons by Barbara Juster Esbensen, illustrated by Susan Bonners, 1984, Thomas Y. Crowell
