This poem was inspired by reading “Little Clown, My Heart” by Sandra Cisneros. Also, I would like to welcome Ruba, one of our new students in the afterschool Poetry Club.
My heart is a pumpkin
Ruba F., age 11
My heart is a pumpkin just like Halloween
It reminds me of skeletons
And then I’m going to scream
My heart is my life
And it also kills me
Just like my brother
