New Year's at the Madrones'

brisk breeze
the coals in the fireplace
die

new year's eve
the death of rats'
black cloak

by Iris Matisse Madrone, age 9


new year's bubbly
a mixing bowl full
of dish soap

Garry Madrone, age 50


drawing a 4-leaf clover
my pen breaks
year of the horse

double luck
i cut a 4-leaf-clover
out of red paper

Morgayn Madrone, age 13


my name
the new year

Merlin Madrone, age 2


new year's eve
i make a maze
out of mega mags

Malcolm Madrone, age 6


11 pm
waiting for the earth to spin us
into the new year
