Pink Palm Trees

An Original Student Poem

Rose-colored leaves

sway in the breeze,

Many, many palms,

all eyes they please.

The ocean so blue,

who ever knew

the sand beneath your feet

could feel so true?

Yet not all things last,

the world began to crash

as the sand flew up and

the trees turned to ash.

The hurricane had hit,

the world had flipped,

and all that was once pretty

was now just some grit.

About the Contributor

Ace Smith, Staff Writer

Hi! My name is Ace Smith [he/him], and I’m a freshman writer. I participate in the marching band, indoor color guard, The Chomp, and the theater program. I am a student of the Journalism elective, and the Journalism class editor. In my free time, I practice art, writing, performing, and music. I’m also a member of the student council, and a handful of clubs. I love making things creative and artsy, as I specialize in poetry and story writing. I have four cats, whom I love dearly, and a passion for decorating with pins, stickers, and all things fun. My goal is to bring some sparkle to The Chomp, and practice my skills to improve. :)
