A Maze Me * Prose Poetry for Girls by Naomi Shehab Nye


Necklace

I hope Sunday's slow and long,
steeped like a pot of mint tea.
Soft sun and deep thinking. 

Saturday was a crowded calendar page, 
a mound of chores.

Could Monday be a porch?
Facing the week.
Wednesday a meadow?


Thursday, let's leave
small baskets at everyone's door.
Flowers, notes, stones.
No one does that anymore.

Could a week be strung on a silver chain?
A boat?

A tree?
Tuesday as a tree?


Weekend Metaphors
By Violetta


Friday is a day before the weekend; it’s a bear sleeping in it’s cave, which is buried under snow. 
Saturdays in quarantine, I get up and play with my sister.  I’m a fox, jumping around.

Sunday in June is a cinnamon roll baking in the oven, served at noon.
