In the Poetry Issue of READ, we asked you to create another character for Spoon River. 9th grader Katrina Lu has created a character named Bunny D. And here is what she has to say.

Bunny D.
Once in a lifetime chances don't let them pass you by.
Everything is worthwhile as long as you don't take for granted.
Breathe it and take it in as gratitude, even if it is painful.
Take everything with you as you lay cold in the ground.
With the memories of a lifetime you won't feel alone.
