It’s always a pleasure to see our students passionate for personal activities. Caleb Mcntosh’s (sixth grade) and Lena Usher’s (sixth grade) poetry was published in the Mountain Xpress newspaper in March. Rainbow Community School is very proud of you! Below are the poems that were published by the Mountain Xpress.
I used to Be
I used to be squeaky, whiny, loud kid,
Now I am not,
I imagined rivers flowing, waves rolling,
I had a thick black hair, blue eyes,
I was a monkey,
Now I am not,
Now I have soft brown hair with bluish green eyes,
I used to be a little kid, now I am not.

Ode to Dance
Dance is like,
A spark, beginning,
Like small thing,
Creeping and growing,
Until you burst. You
Move and create,
And inspire,
Dragging me in,
And pushing me out,
I love the way you lift me
To the hidden world,
inside my heart.
Then you stop,
But with the promise of tomorrow.
-Lena Usner, sixth grade-
