Poems

We recently did a poetry unit in english class and I decided I would post a couple of my poems. Here's one of them it's called "Way back when…"

Way back when the wind blew softly, whispering in our ears gently

Soft words of kindness and encouragement

To live, to love, to laugh

To reach for the stars, to never give up, to never lose hope

Way back when the gentle rustle of colliding leaves willed us not to forget them

To allow them to tell us, to teach us, the simplest things in life

Are always the most extravagant, always worth more of our careful attentiveness

Than that of complications and frustrations, which aren’t worth a second glance

Way back when life was not chaotic

Not frenzied or in turmoil

When life was all about friends

And swings and dreams of tomorrow

Way back when nothing was wrecked

When life was absolutely perfect

So that's my poem, it's kind of hard to tell but it's actually a sonnet :) And now that's it! Thanks for reading!
