First Line Golden Shovel of Joy Harjo's Poem An American Sunrise.
They stood there and laughed as we
told them the truth. They were
ready for more, yet running
from it all. They wanted out
of the pain they held. Scared of
Dying so they hold their breath.

Beautifully done, Merissa. I hope you got an A.
Clever write Merissa, a reverse acrostic.

very creative, a different take on 'found poetry' I think and has the added value of providing pertinent commentary on the current global pandemic crisis,
really well executed in my humble opinion,
thanks for sharing
