Where am I?

By Segun Adesina

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suddenly I woke up

Sand is blowing in my face, swirling around me

like a tornado is passing by

The sun’s rays are burning down on me

I see pack rats in the distance

I see an oasis with date trees bowing to the wind

And a coyote is drinking from it.

Where am I anyway?

Where else could be so hot and sandy?

The desert of course!!!

This poem was written by Segun Adesina, Third Grade, United Nations International School,

New York. May 2, 1999.
