In recognition of Poetry Month, and to celebrate our treasure trove of Orcas Island poets, Orcas Issues is pleased and honored to offer daily poetry during April.
NUMBER 1
— by Theodore Vaccarella (age 8) —
Number 1 is useful,
especially for the clocks.
Without it would be
2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,2.
Number 1 means first place.
Although it might be small
number 1 is good for us all.
