2. Author of this poem
 This Poem was
created and thought
up by Kelli Russell
Agdon

3.  Sometimes, I forget the sun
Sinking into ocean.
This is a Long Shot it really shows how beautiful the
sunset is a night

4.  Desert is only a
handful of sand
held by my daughter
Close up of the sand it
shows how the sand
is falling out of her
hands.

5.  In her palm
She holds small
creatures
Tracks an ant, a flea
Moving over each grain
 She brings them to
places
She thinks are safe:
This is a high angle
looking down on the girl
holding grain

6.  An island of
driftwood
 The knot of a
blackberry bush,
 A continent of grass

7.  Fire ants carried on
sticks
 Potatoe bugs scooped
 Into crease of a
newspaper
-she tries to help them
-before the patterns of
tides
Reach their lives

8.  She knows about
families
 Who fold together
like hands,
 A horizon of tanks
moving forward

9.  Here war is only
newsprint

10.  How easy it is not to
think about it
 As we sleep
beneath our quite
sky,
 Slip ourselves into
foam,neglectful
waves appearing
endless

11. This was a little hard for me
because I had to think about what
I was going to do for the poem
and I had to think about what to
write for this. I also had to get the
right pictures to go with the poem.
I had fun doing this.
