I AM

By Jen Zeni

My name is Emma

I am from Brighton

Which is a light bulb

At night we turn it on

To keep away the monsters

I am a mask

Bought at a fair

From a man in big boots

Made of leather

With buttons of white porcelain

I am a teacup

With a butterfly handle

I am a columbine

I am a leaf

I am a willow

Weeping and swaying

I am the breeze

That makes the ripples

In the water

In the glass

That I swim in

I am a fish

I am a scale

On the tile floor

In the kitchen

Measuring out oregano

From the garden

I am a hose

I am a nozzle

Of a pistol

A piece of broken glass

With part of a red flower

Covering the walls

Of a castle

With a moat

Full of alligators

I am a tooth

I am a nail

Painted purple

I am purple

I am Emma
