Today we are featuring Inklings Book Contest 2016 finalist, Reece Sharp! Reece finished 4th grade this past school year. She wrote a set of two lovely poems for us. We loved how Reece’s word choices were simple, beautiful, and clear. Enjoy!
by Reece Sharp
The moon has risen
the moon has set
the moon has brought
out a friend while its left
the moon’s friend
is as bright as a light
the moon’s friend
says good night
the moon has come
at exactly the time
when the moon’s friend
has left us behind

When it Happens
by Reece Sharp
When it happens
the sun will be bright
When it happens
you’ll say goodnight
When it happens
there’ll be no trees
and the smell of the wind
will be like bees
When it happens
the moon will be bright
When it happens
you’ll be tucked in tight
When it happens
the stars are not there
When it happens
there’ll be unicorns in the air
When it happens
it’s called a dream
Sleep tight little girl
you’re about to see
