A poem of dreamtime flying, corresponding to the oral cues and illustration of Melissa B., 5th grade, Poets-in-the-Schools.
Melissa’s met the Sandman
while floating in a dreamland.
But now a witch commands:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀You must flee . . . Now fly!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Melissa wonders why
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀and asks, “How far? How high?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀You must understand:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀this is Lotus Land.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Leave here, or you will die!
