Margaret Atwood Children Poems
- 1. A Sad Child
You're sad because you're sad.

or hug your sadness like an eyeless doll
... - 2. Sekhmet, The Lion-headed Goddess Of War
He was the sort of man
who wouldn't hurt a fly.
Many flies are now alive
while he is not.
... - 3. The Shadow Voice
My shadow said to me:
what is the matter
... - 4. The Circle Game
The children on the lawn
joined hand to hand
go round and round
...
