*This is a poem for two voices, written to be read by two people, sometimes alternating, sometimes simultaneously. The poem shows different viewpoints on the same topic.
Ainsley O’Donovan is finishing up her junior year at Pembroke Pines Charter High School. “Cardboard Boxes” won first place in the Poem for Two Voices category of the 2024-25 PPCHS Poetry Fair.
the atala is designed, curated, & edited by the Pines Charter Chapter of the National English Honor Society. It showcases original student poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, literary criticism, and art. Like its namesake — the small, bright butterfly that grew from near extinction to rising numbers in our part of the world — this little literary journal aims to grow our love of writing and expand our community’s appreciation for the literary arts.
