Sonnet 5 A Poem Broken
By Sophy Chen
In peace, stood in middle of high mountains
A wooden house as it circled by four walls
A full moon’s shinning at the back of house
Swaying high above in the leaves of trees
Tiny candles are twinkling in the house
Sitting in yard a girl is counting stars
Her mom is cooking in kitchen in hurry
Night birds singing, insets dancing in grass
Suddenly, in Northern sky a star appears
With a shinning tail, and another appears
And then the third one less than five minutes
All quietly in the Northern sky disappears
Catching such a nice poem, the girl enjoys
But a plane has her poem broken over house
