Young Writers Project, an independent nonprofit based in Burlington, engages young people to write and use digital media to express themselves with clarity and power, and to gain confidence and skills for school, the workplace and life. Each week, VTDigger features a writing submission – an essay, poem, fiction or nonfiction – accompanied by a photo or illustration from Young Writers Project. YWP publishes about 1,000 students’ work each year here, in newspapers across Vermont, on Vermont Public Radio and in YWP’s monthly digital magazine, The Voice. Since 2006, it has offered young people a place to write, share their photos, art, audio and video, and to explore and connect online at youngwritersproject.org. For more information, please contact Susan Reid at [email protected].
“But when will this help me in life?” It’s a question that pops into the head of every student at one point or another, no doubt cueing for the infiltration of a daydream or two. Playful Williston poet Grace Kafferlin, this week’s featured writer, watches her brain from the sidelines of her own imagination as it flounces off to paradise and leaves her helplessly apathetic toward her studies.
Missing: One brain
By Grace Kafferlin, 14, of Williston
Has anybody seen my brain?
I lost it during math.
It was so confused it ran away,
wreaking havoc in its path.
I wonder where it is right now…
It’s probably having fun,
swimming in some ocean blue
or bathing in the sun.
I hate it when it flies away
and leaves me feeling blue,
for then when I need to think
I don’t know what to do.
If you find it, please contact me –
I’m feeling quite distressed.
and I know we’ll have a test!
I Appreciate VTDigger
VTDigger is the most powerful investigative journalism entity in the state of Vermont. No one else covers stories with the focus and journalistic integrity of VT Digger. A blessing for transparency, the scourge of obstructionism, they are the best at what they do.
Thank you!!!
