Found Poems

From the book Eleven by: Patricia Reilly Giff


Big Black Letters

Reached into pocket for flashlight

Flashlight threw shadows across the floor

Tiptoed across the room

Spotted a newspaper clipping

Large black letters"Missing"

Mouth dry, heart pounding

Feet hit the dirt underneath hard enough to jar teeth

Leaving the faint taste of blood in mouth

Head down, shoulders hunched"Missing, Sam Bell"

It was a name he had to find out about.....




The Note

I'll never forget

She put a crumpled piece of paper in his hand

She leaned forward and kissed his cheek
