Three Girls

2012 5th-6th Grade Poetry Honorable Mention

I see three girls
Girls I call my friends
They're whispering
About what
About whom
All of a sudden an idea hits me
But it can't be
But then what
As I slowly approach the three girls
The girls I call my friends
I catch a word
What did I hear?
But it can't be
But then what
Was it my name I heard?
Were they saying something mean?
Were they speaking words of friendship?
As I get closer to the three girls
The girls I call my friends
I see them laughing
About what
About whom
Surely it can't be me
