I’ve been round since 1996

Like a cappuccino

I’m Shakespeare’s quick fix

Pranks with jalapeños

Make April the time for cheap tricks

So

Sticks and stones

May break my bones

But words will never hurt me.

April is National Poetry month, and the Big Red wants your student-submitted works of poetry. You, yes you! Hudson High School students of any age may submit their work to the newspaper by leaving their poems in Room F103 with a short description of the poem and the poem’s inspiration.
