Teen Ink Blogs



By Kimberly T., Congers, NY

   A summer sky of canned clouds

with artificial, just-add-water blue,

oceans of cellophane,

rivers of glass

full of rubber-scaled fish;

green shag carpet

lines the ground

strewn with delicate flowers

of cardboard and paper bright.

Wind-up stuffed animals

scurry about

performing on calico, nylon trees;

and mechanical people walk around

programmed to eternally appear content.
