Here is week two of poetry month. I know you enjoyed the poem by Dr. Maya Angelou. Today, this poem is by James Berry. James Berry is a British poet. I have fell in love with his work. The poem I will share today is People Equal.
People Equal
James Berry
Some people shoot up tall.
Some hardly leave the ground at all.
Yet-people equal. Equal.
One voice is a sweet mango.
Another is a nonsugar tomato.
Yet-people equal. Equal.
Some people rush to the front.
Others hang back, feeling they can't.
Yet-people equal. Equal.
Hammer some people, you meet a wall.
Blow hard on others, they fall.
Yet-people equal. Equal.
One person will aim at a star.
For another, a hilltop is too far.
Yet-people equal. Equal.
Some people get on with their show.
Others never get on the go.
Yet-People equal. Equal.
