by Alberto S., age 12
Sister who like to dance
and ask who will dance with
her
Whose hair is so soft
Who always looks out for
people
Who keeps me safe
Who takes off like a plane
Who is fast like a car
Is like a pug running free
Is like a pit-bull fighting
with other dogs
Who dances on a dance
floor asking who will
dance with her?
This poem was inspired after reading “Abuelito Who” by Sandra Cisneros.
