The Basket of Words

high school poetry

She picked up the basket from
         her teacher who told her
         to make something
         out of all the words
         in the basket

She took the basket
         out to the empty
         wall that had not
         a thing on it.
                   took the words out
                   one by one she formed
         a poem that made no sense
         to one and all
                   but she liked it
                             FEELINGS is what she called it

It is still there
         in the hall on that wall
         the one that no one dared to touch.
