poem

[felineocelot]

So on Friday in English we have this creative writing project due. People decided to do different things, and I decided to do a chapbook of poems. Other people wrote stories, and one guy in my class wrote a song. Well, we turned in our rough drafts on Monday, and my English teacher said that he was very impressed with our work, and he had picked 4 selections to show to the classes. He picked 3 from our class, and 1 from 1st period. He had a sample of a story, a poetry/reflection-type thing, a song, and a poem. The poem was mine!!! I was kind of nervous and uncomfortable, and one girl must have noticed because she asked me if it was mine. Of course, the song was by that one guy, too. But here's my poem:

Morning

An orange glow
Fills my eyes
Like the gentle hum of a familiar star
Silence
As if it were a cloud
Collecting dew on the petals
The trees
Whispering quietly to one another
In the amber light
The grass greets my feet
Gently nodding
The early things join in their harmony
Of life
