Fifth-grade reading reminded me of my brother's jazz.
We wrote poetry with embellishments like topaz.
My number two pencil scurried across a lined page.
I was learning all about rhyme schemes at that young age.
The short poem I wrote in class is nowhere around.
And my brother's alto saxophone makes far less sound.
