Amanda Baines Poems

I’m moving away, but I’ll be back.
I look out my window; the sky is black.
Ontario’s not bad, though far away,
Still I wish that I could stay.
...

Winter is warmer and summer is hotter.
Lakes are holding less and less water.
Something is happening to Earth as we know it -
And the Arctic Circle is starting to show it!
...

Miles are between us - this much is true
But still that is no reason to be blue!
I promise I’ll be back before too long,
Until that time we both have to be strong.
...

I try to talk to you, you turn away.
I try to comfort you, you cry all day.
It's been days since we talked, you won't look at me!
I scream and throw books, but it's like you can't see.
...
