Today, I invite you to enjoy these lovely poems, written by Sofia D., a seventh grade student at Scarborough Middle School. Thank you Sofia!
Maine
The outdoors
Feeling the fresh air on your fingertips
Smiling at the white sun
The green tops of the trees heavy with dew
The dark soil sticking to your hands
The sky, the color of wisdom
Your skin warmed
Bare feet pounding against the slippery grass
Thankful
That you live
On the perfection of Earth
Early Earth
Early morning
Sun not stretched its yellow arms
Moon a desolate beauty
Windows frosted in dew
World wrapped in gauze
Trees pale, new and ancient at once
The ground untouched and cold
Early Earth
The way it was meant to be seen
Our eyes perfectly adjusted
To see every inch of imperfect perfection
In the curve of the grass
The color of a flower
The pockmarks of the moon
The heady scent of the mist
Of early Earth

Whatever you do today, please remember to pause and take in the beauty that surrounds our cozy coastal town.
