A Collection of Poems

Tristan Randall – Year 9

Tristan wrote a series consisting of two poems, “Evaporate” and “Puzzle”. These poems reflect the nature of banks, this Edition’s topic.

Evaporate 

I want to be like the rainbows,  

The clouds and the birds.  

So far away, so close to touch,  

But always out of reach.  

  

I want to be set free,  

No more rules, no more structure,  

Only goals to accomplish  

And only expectations to break  

  

But,   

No matter how close I get,   

They just get further away.  

Like a rainbow on a rainy day  

Like friends that have moved away  

Like they’re impossible, unthinkable, and unreachable.  

Puzzle 

A useless puzzle piece.  

Is one that does not fit,  

One that has no purpose.  

One that should be thrown in the bin.  

  

A useless puzzle piece  

Might not fit in here.  

But might fit in there.  

One that has no purpose here.   

But purpose over there.  

  

A useless puzzle piece,  

Can fit in,  

Here, there, and most importantly everywhere.
