And Still more Poetry!

Nature

the orb of dew
left from last night
'neath the cool sheet of dark
with faint starlight
sits on a leaf
where it twinkles and shines
in the beaming sunlight
as a diamond from the mines.
nearby, a tulip
fresh from the ground
is a bright splotch of red
in greenery all around.
it stands out
from the dark of the dirt
and grows tall and proud
leaves perked and alert.
this beauty of nature
as you can see
makes people smile
including me!


Tell me what you think!

Original Poetry!

Time for some of my original poetry.  This one is free verse, a type of poetry that has no set rhyme scheme or set line length or meter.  Basically, it's just writing about a subject!

dark when I wake
drowsy and half-asleep
shuffle out of bed
slowly getting lighter
things gathered and packed for the day
unlock the door
sun is rising now
onto the bus
hear all the chatter
higher in the sky
into the huge building
unlock my locker
can see it through the window
all my different classes
sit bored through long period
patterns on my desk
lunch with all my friends
continue through the day
lower in the sky
only last period left
finally I return home
clinging to the horizon
end of the day
crawl into bed
gone until the morning
