LOSING TEETH
Zane lost 10 teeth
Nora lost 9 teeth
Olivia lost 7 teeth
All the teeth I’ve lost
I’ve had to make myself.
SISTERS
Some sisters are nice
Some sisters are mean
My sister’s in the middle
Between between.
—from 2022 Rattle Young Poets Anthology

Why do you like to write poetry?
Evie Pugh: “Because some of it rhymes and some of it doesn’t.”
