A verdant poem written by a student in our poetry residency program at Sunset Elementary in San Francisco from our curriculum called, "Take My Portrait", focusing on how to paint vivid, memorable portraits in words.
Pond
Gaze up
At the thin green canopy
of branches.
The small
Beams of sunlight
That
Manage to push through.
The beam
Looks almost green
As it shimmers down on
You.
If you want to find green.
