The Learning Network Blog: Found Poem Favorite | ‘Things to See’

This poem, one of 12 winners of our fourth annual Found Poem Student Contest, was written by Brian, 16, from Hauppauge, N.Y. The poem comes from the article “Going Off the Itinerary and Finding Lifelong Memories”.
Check back every day through June 12 to read the work of another winner.
Things to See
A picturesque beach town — white sand.
Mountain roads, dirt roads, rocky roads.
An approaching stranger, a low-end rental car,
Around a curve, came into view not far.
I hesitated.
Unknown, unplanned, off script.
Should I wait? Should I give up?
I often chicken out.
No.
Travel. Wander.
I drummed up the courage.
I had things to see.
