A poem

[love_lies_dying]

I wrote this for chelseas english class but im just posting it cause i really like it

The Desert must be lonely
No one likes to stroll through him as if he was an exotic garden
A Garden who bloomed the finest, fragrant flowers
The Desert must grow jealous of the gardens
He competes and forces up cacti with sharp thorns
Although they too flower, no one stops to smell them
The Desert must be lonely
No one stops to drink from him as if he was a shimmering spring
A Spring who’s waters flow right into the rivers and oceans
The Desert must grow jealous of the springs
He competes and creates tiny streams under his monstrous belly of sand
Although they too flow, no one digs for them
The Desert must be lonely
No one stops and builds their homes as if he was solid ground
Grounds who were sturdy and did not bend and give way to wind
The Desert is tired of competing and kicks up storms of dust and earth
He heaves his belly of sand into the faces of travelers and tourists
He drives everyone away
He remains lonely with his underwater springs and prickly cacti
