but for those who hear our

stories and feel less alone

because of it." ~Joyce Maynard

Meet Sage Marchand:

 

Hi! My name is Sage Marchand. I am an energetic, fun-loving 5th grader at Horizon Elementary. I live with my awesome parents, my funny little brother Rhys, our two cuddly greyhounds, Gypsy and Skye, and our opinionated cat Mandy. Reading, writing poems and short stories, acting, singing, drawing and doing karate are just some of things I love to do. When I am older, I want to be a pediatric oncologist and work at St. Jude Children's Hospital.

 

Yellow

By Sage Marchand

 

Yellow is topaz and citrine and the feeling of joy.

Yellow is the taste of lemonade.

Cinnamon rolls and Fritos smell yellow.

Sunny 101.5 makes me feel yellow.

Yellow is the sound of pasta bubbling and sipping lemonade.

Yellow cake and smiles and gold are yellow.

 

 

Thunderstorm

By Sage Marchand

 

You see my clouds roll slowly across the sky.

My anger flashed through deadly bolts of lightning.

Followed by roars of agony.

Tears of distress are pouring down.

I am a thunderstorm.
