April is National Poetry Month, a time when we celebrate poetry and recognize how it has shaped American culture. This year, KUT is participating in National Poetry Month by sharing poems written by students in the Blank Page creative writing programs at Kealing and Fulmore Middle Schools and the Writers' Workshop at Rawson Saunders School. You can read the and listen to the poems here, and you can also listen to the poems read on KUT 90.5 FM throughout the month of April.

Tree

 

 

 

I am a tree;

 

My leaves, the shifting thoughts in my brain

 

My roots, the place I am bound to earth

 

And my strength against winds of time,

 

Let everyone else be deer hurdling through the world

 

Only touching it for an instant

 

While I am touched by the ages

 

In the end, we are all swept away in the currents of time
