Kirsten Meneses: Published Poet

HHS junior, Kirsten Meneses, is now a published poet. Her poem “Ode to my Pillow,” originally written for Theresa DiGeronimo’s English III class, has been selected to be published in the anthology A Celebration of Poems and HHS literary magazine, The Empyrean.

 

 

 

 

“Ode to my Pillow”

As smooth as the skin of a newborn after a warm bath

Attentive when I am speaking

Absolutely never callous like cold ice when I am weary

Like a soft tissue that will wipe away my tears

My head’s number 1 fan

The boxing glove when playing pillow fight

Instead of counting sheep

My pillow can sing a lullaby that will make me fall asleep.

The poem can be viewed in the online Empyrean at www.issuu.com/HHSliterarymag
