are you gonna live your lifeso katherine is here, and we were going through all the boxes in the attic that i had to clean out in order to go anywhere this weekend. we came across this magnetic board thing i have with all that magnetic poetry on it. and i had written a poem on it. the last time i used it was probably like.. sixth grade. this stuff has been in the attic for a while. here's what it says:
In a deep, dark soul
A star will die
The sun on the horizon
It weeps and sighs
i was emo, eh? it doesn't even really make sense. i was a werid child. very weird. we also came across a bunch of my old hobbies (they changed monthly), including but not restricted to: crochet, car model building, woodworking, hemp weaving, jewelry making.. like i said, i was random. anyway.
katherine was inspired by my poetic genius and tried to make a few of her own with this board. here they are, for you to see:
Enter in East
Fortell no silence
Two blooms of ancient peace
In a mirror of soft shadow
How despairing
There really is no punctuation, it is that awesome. you should read it a few times over, just to let it sink in. oh, she has added some punctuation: enter in east? fortell no silence: [rest of poem] and just to finish off: how despairing!
and another by our up-and-coming poetic friend:
beyond her dogwood
forest stream to cry
life's face
low at island path
she is definitely improving. read that one twice as many times as you read the last one. just for good measure.
