Travis Nielson is a sixth-grader at Dalton Middle School. He wrote this poem as part of a lesson on prepositions during his literacy block. School officials say this illustrates well one of the literacy goals of Dalton Public Schools — to encourage student writers to incorporate real experiences into their work.
The Magic Number 50
At Harmon Field
On a Thursday Night
Against Rome
Out of the locker rooms
Onto the field
Between the two crowds
Among bigger players
Without fear
Past the defenders
Across the goal line
With the lead
Out of time
Catamounts beat the Wolves
50 years of winning!!!!!
…..The tradition continues
Travis Nielson
