This poem from Phyllis' book is a collection of poetic interpretations based on the noted diary entries from Anne Frank's Diary


The dentist drilled teeth,
the government drilled rules.
Trams, a forbidden luxury,
aware of a stolen bike,
you had long walks and a long face.
Longing always for new friends,
then, a new face
handsome and sixteen,
wanted to come along.
You said "Yes."
Who needs trams anyway?

(c)Phyllis Johnson          2008
