The Color of Heather

This was done for a class project junior year… It mirrors another poem… Fury of overshoes by something saxton i think… don’t quote me on that it was forever ago. This one still makes me giddy cause i like it so much.

They march in a line,
only one at a time,
flowing together to
create a tale.
Remember when you couldn’t
write your own
words
or read your own
handwriting
or when the bow on your strings
wouldn’t play the right
rhythm?
Remember, young Monet,
when you couldn’t
design a masterpiece,
only to draw like
mud on the floor?
The world wasn’t yours.
It belonged to
the smart ones.
In your closet,
lived the dragon
and he would roar
each time daddy snored
in the room next door.
They made you give up
your crayons for pens,
your play time for homework,
and your naps for tests.
Oh words,
don’t you remember me,
using you to describe
the first character,
of my first book?
Oh naps,
I want to dream
a dream worth writing.
Where are the smart ones,
when will I write,
with big words that
flow,
and march,
right off the page?

I think this was inspired by Twilight… I’m like, 93.2% sure about that…

I stand before the one I love,
He stood before me,
I stand before the one I love,
In me what does he see?

I stand before the one I love,
He looks to the sky,
I stand before the one I love,
As he heaves a big sigh.

I stand before the one I love,
He takes his hand in mine,
I stand before the one I love,
And looks me with eyes so fine.

I stand before the one I love,
As he leans in close,
I stand before the one I love,
And gives me what I wanted most.

I stand before the one I love,
As he steals my kiss,
I stand before the one I love,
All I see is black abyss.

No longer do I stand before,
The one I love so much,
For him am I no longer to adore,
I think, and my heart does clutch.

I yearn for him forever so,
But a dream it was.

I found some poetry I did in tenth and eleventh grade on my computer looking for a stupid file that i finally remembered isn’t on Ubuntu it’s on Windows dang it!
Anyway, some of them are actually kinda decent…. so I’ll post those. The others may either take a butt load of editing or never make it to the blog….
