Hear a different poet at 6:49 a.m. Monday - Thursday throughout the month of April, which is National Poetry Month. Today's poet is Emily reading, "My Life." National Poetry Month was originally organized by the Academy of American Poets as a way to increase awareness and appreciation of poetry in the United States.
For several years KALW has partnered with America Scores and the San Francisco United School District to bring you original poems written by young students, read in their own voice.
My Life, by Emily C.
I am from the United States where I like to play
It is very crazy I any which way
I am from a building that is tall where I can sleep
like people who are glad that they’re under the sheets
I’m from the third floor
where I can see my friends
and the neighbor at the street at the end
I am from the united stats
and I feel very happy where I am
playing with my friend
saying come on!
So I guess that’s the end
