Enigma Weekend Edition: Poetry by Natalie Zook
"Summer"
by Natalie Zook
A simpler
time,
without the
stress of
tests
homework
drama
GPA
quizzes
a time when
it was warm,
and the sun
shone
brightly on
the green grass,
and the soft
sand
tickled my
bare feet
a time when
crickets
chirped under the blanket
of the
summer night
and the
brilliant moon
reflected
off of the
ocean waves
I sit in my
classroom prison,
waiting with
anticipation
for summer
to brighten
my life
once again.
