New Poetry Contest: How Unexpected!
Submitted by: Everly J., age 9, Los Angeles, CA
Car Wash Disaster!
Nice, sunny day,
Driving through streets
With a dusty, sappy, stinky vehicle,
Time for a car wash!
Water splashes on our car,
Next comes pearlescent soap.
The spongy mops dance on our auto,
Powerful air dryers blow hard like a tornado.
Now lies a glistening, polished van,
Sparkling in the sunlight,
Mesmerizing reflections on it.
Suddenly, humongous dark clouds,
Shadow over the shiny SUV,
Small drops,
Big drops,
Rain tapping on the pavement,
Dancing with the wind,
Clinking on the clear window sills.
Ugh! Dirty car again!
Yet, the plants got fresher!
