Living in a Rose
A poem by Minal Saldivar

When you live in a rose
You feel so comfy
Warm and cozy
You get a nice breakfast
And a quiet morning
You can plant fruits
And vegetables
And sunflowers of course
You can relax in the rose
The tippy top of the rose
From where you can see
People, buildings, and art cars.

Minal will be performing the poem at her school’s talent show and the very next day, she will perform at the open mic on VBB art car Revolution. I am not surprised that her first poem closes with references to art cars – the weekend is around the corner…
