"I Was Wrong" - A Haiku by Denise T. Best
Once, I thought that I
Had made a real, grave error
I was mistaken ©️
"I Was Wrong" by Josah-amare Morrison (Age 9)
One day, I woke up in a the beautiful sun mist and the windy breeze. It felt so good. My mom came in with my favorite meal, rice and broccolini with nuggies.
“Wow, mommy, thank you.”
I ate my breakfast and I got on the bus for school. My friend Taelin gave me a gift. It was the best day ever. I couldn’t wait to get to get to school. I had a hypothesis that there was a surprise at school waiting for me.
But when I got to school, I went to band practice and when it was my turn to play, they said it was time to go to class. But I’m like, “you know what, let’s get to the classroom,” and I thought that the day was gonna be better. But, I was wrong. A lot of people bullied me and someone took my lunch and replaced it with a single strawberry, but my friend gave me a butter sandwich.
When it was time to go home, I got in the car and told mom everything, and my mom actually had a surprise for me. She bought my favorite food, sushi, and planed a sushi night in her room and we could watch movies while we were eating sushi.
I thanked mom and I hoped tomorrow would be better. ©️
