Bio Poem

Desiree,
Nice, smart, curious, and helpful
Sister of Raissa
Lover of reading, computers and paints
Who feels happy because her sister is going to school
Who fears bugs, rats and loudness
Who needs friends, family and school
Who gives help to her sister, friends and classmates
Who would like to see Italy, Rome and Canada
Resident of Washington heights,
Voudounon.

Mad is Orange-Red

It smells like burning paper
It tastes like old blue cheese
It sounds like crackling fire
It feels like pointy nails
It looks like a red hairy thing
Mad is sour milk.

 

Desiree Voudounon studies at the after school program of the Frederick Douglass Creative Arts Center of New York City.
