I don't write too much poetry, but this one I wrote for my English class for extra credit a few weeks ago. Riley liked it in any case (but probably more-so because it was dedicated to her haha). From One Road to the Next The winding path of leaves and dirt, A place that I’ve been known to go; Like a weightless feather or a wind-blown shirt, My legs are guided to the flow. A place that I’ve spent most of my life, Not once daring to step out of line; I follow along with constant strife, Until that coarse road then becomes fine. A part of the path I had never knew, Its smooth solid surface stretches straight out; The step onto this side feels so true, Here I can’t fall, without a doubt. Calm cold concrete becomes warm under the sun, And my body adjusts to be in tune; Unlike the dark woods where I’ve been know to run. This place feels like home, and it happened so soon. Not once did I dare to even look back, As a hatchling who has finally left its nest; Along the new path I set out with my pack, I’m where I’m meant to be, and now I may rest. |

(things I meant to do much sooner than this, #23: reply to Chron's poem topic whoops) Ah, the English assignment that you turn out to be pretty proud of in its own right. I know it well. Heck, I probably write better short stories for assignments than just for fun, heh. This is pretty nice! (And sweet of you to dedicate it to your girlfriend, aw.) I'm afraid I don't really know all that much about poetry myself, but that was some neat imagery there, imo. Also, you've got a little typo in the second-to-last stanza there: "know" in the second-to-last line should probably be "known". :p I know you said you don't write much poetry, but maybe you should try more? Why not? Hey, if Riley likes it...

I agree with Phoenixsong, this is really good! I can't write poetry for the life of me, haha. |

Thanks guys!! I don't write anything on my own time usually, but I think I might since my girlfriend really liked it and I'm apparently good at it haha. I'm going to try and get a lot more into music with my guitar this Summer, however, so perhaps I'll aim towards crafting some words into songs instead of a poem. =) |
