Lit Poems

"The True Colors of Kenny"
By: Nelly Saad


Kenny
Brave, soft, willing
Who loves it when Byron is nice to him
Who feels happy when Dad talks to him like an adult
Who needs at least half his dinosaurs back from Rufus
Who shares his bedroom with Byron
Who fears the Wool Pooh
Who dreams of white men not picking on black kids
Who ends up checking out of the World-Famous Watson Pet Hospital

"Trauma from a Bombing"
By: Nelly Saad


Bombing
Sudden, loud
Frightening, depressing, exploding
Death, sorrow, joy, life
Comforting, benefiting, imploding
 Expected, silent
Peace
