Jaden's entry for the Poetry Jam

I'm nine years old,
saying goodbye to my friends.
I may never see them again.
My mom picks me up from school.
our suitcases are in the trunk.

We reach the huge building,
with the metal birds.
My mom makes me get on.
After thirty minutes of security checks,
we soar for four hours.

We arrive in this new world.
Everything is green
and there are tons of lakes.
I enjoy my summer,
even if I have yet to meet friends.

The leaves are dying now
and it's getting cold.
White aliens fall from the sky.

Im 14 years old
in this new world.
I've gotten used to it,
but I still miss the old one.
