Free Verse
Quinn’s Winning Poem:
War.
War never changes.
I wake up to smell the fresh air.
But all I smell is War.
I read the paper
and all I see is War.
I walk my dog around the block
and all I hear is War.
I go to work
and all I feel is War.
I go to Bed.
I dream,
and I dream about War.
Then I wake up.
And repeat.
Over and over and over.
I pray for it to stop.
But it never ends.
All I know is War.
War never changes.

Hi! I’m Amanda, the Teen Librarian at Fairfield Area Library. I have a four-legged child named Bailey, a cat who acts like a dog. He plays fetch, chases his tail and comes when he is called.
Favorite Books: I love reading mystery novels and young adult fiction. Team Peeta! My favorite books are always changing, but my favorite series at the moment are the Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken and the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. Anything by Jasper Fforde, Rick Riordan, Steve Berry or Steve Sheinkin.
Favorite Food: I love food, but nothing tops homemade macaroni and cheese.
Favorite Music: I will listen to almost anything; but I tend to lean more towards pop, rock, show tunes and country. I am also a huge fan of a-capella music (which includes all genres). Queen is still my favorite band of all time.
Favorite Reference Question: “Where is your Teen Section?”
