Exploring Poetry Basics
A canteen poem
The lunch bell rings; the trays go clatter,\nKeira shares her apple, Levi asks, “What’s the matter?”\nNgaio spots a sunny seat beside the window light,\nThen laughter fills the canteen, warm and bright.\n\nA yoghurt pot rolls gently past a chair,\nA crumb-shaped constellation lands upon the stair.\nWe pack our lunches, leave the tables clean,\nAnd carry happy chatter from the canteen.
