Being Frank with Anne - Poetry based on Diaries of Anne Frank BEING FRANK WITH ANNE is a poetic interpretation of Anne Frank’s diary.
It is through Being Frank With Anne that the reader will gain a deeper insight and stronger connection to Anne's world. Phyllis Johnson's work is intended for teen readers but will appeal to all ages.

Phyllis says: This poetry collection was archived at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam and when I heard that her cousin, Buddy Elias, who heads up the Anne Frank Fonds in Switzerland , liked my book and remarked that Anne would have liked it too, I couldn't have been more proud.

    Senior Discount
    by Phyllis Johnson (copyright)

    “But we’ll get free drinks,” he said.
    I rolled my eyes.
    Didn’t care if it meant super size
    Didn’t care if it saved me a buck.
    It’s just that admitting it that sucked.
    I have panty hose older than her.
    The sweet thing who took my order
    For burger and fries
    Who stands there with those doe shaped eyes
    Looking at him who is so open,
    Then at me, who stands there moping.
    “Get your senior discount,” I said
    as I stood in face so red.
    She looked at me and then my spouse-
    “Both your drinks are on the house.”

    This book is also GREAT for your reading group!
