POEM: POEM:
Ramses the Lion Ode to My Elderly
Charles Bennett Jr., home school student
Aunt
Ready to pounce in a fl ash
By Anonymous, Grade 8
As the criminals dash
Life’s hardships leave their scars,
With enchantment,
But nothing can mar
Ramses pounces on them by the stool
Watch it grow,
The beauty that comes
The criminals watch and drool
Spreading its wings freely,
From within.
Gracefully touching
Ramses roars like thunder
It glows through to the surface
The hearts of mankind,
While the criminals tremble under
And beyond.
Filling their lives
With warmth and joy
Caius calls off the beast
These are the characteristics
As you have done
But it’s still ready to rise like yeast
Of a truly beautiful person,
For me.
The kind of person you are.
Tied is the tall one
You are beautiful
While the other runs Your kind of beauty
And I love you!
Does not fade with age.
See Ramses run and play
It shimmers with endless
Like a dog on a sunny day
Immortality
And vitality!
How could a beast be so terrifying?
With teeth large enough to leave a man crying
Do not be modest
And hide your special beauty.
Share it …

It’s much more than just trying to find the nearest grocery store.
