Today we are featuring Inklings Book Contest 2018 finalist, Alexa Zhang! Alexa finished 4th grade this past school year. The poem she submitted is called “The Calling” We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did!
Come
It’s the night
Come
Join the fight
Pools of silver
Sprays of gold light
Hello my archer
Here is your bow
Run to the boat
Then swiftly row
Climb up the tree
So you’ll be free
Leap to the sky
Arrows take flight
Finding death
Their last, final breath
Souls of the brave
Rise
Shade and shadow
Take vengeance right
Wolves of night
Roar to the moonlight
Mother Bear, rise
Fly up on high
Black as the night
Away passed tonight
Mother Bear’s kin
Who now will win?
Take vengeance right
Take back the night
