I search high and low <br />Around, left, right <br />I run in cirlces <br />My chances, very slight <br /> <br />I climb the Himalayas <br />Look around from there <br />I find nothing but snow <br />In the distance, I stare <br /> <br />I get on a boat <br />Search Japan out of its mind <br />I also try sushi <br />It's not my kind <br /> <br />I fly to Africa <br />Run the dry land <br />Off the beaten path <br />I fall, I cannot stand <br /> <br />I search the islands <br />Blocking my home <br />I search every house <br />Every dome <br /> <br />I sail back home <br />To see what it brings me <br />I sit alone at my desk <br />I find no one, as you can see <br /> <br />(Summer/Fall 2007, Age 10, Wisconsin)<br /><br />Emma Alberts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-on-this-earth/
