Sidewalk,

O, how they walk on me!

dandelions spot the ground

around me.

flower blossoms

sprinkle me. 

I pave their grounds 

and what do I get in return? 

WALKED ON!!!


The author's comments:

The reason I wrote this peice is because I thought about how other people "walk on" others. Like when someone wants something from you so you give them what they want and they never return the favor to you. Well, that goes with sidewalk! You have to think about it a certain way but it's actually really simple! We want sidewalk so we can walk on it to stay off of main roads but what do we do in return for the sidewalk? We do nothing. We dont even take care of it! We let it crack, we let weeds cover it. So how about this when you are walking on sidewalk again think about how you'd like it if someone would walk on you. You probably wouldnt like it! so TAKE CARE OF THE SIDEWAK!!!!
