I found this poem that I had written when I was in high school. I thought it was cute, and being how I have a couple goals about writing things and getting published, I thought I would post it up here. I realize that this isn't going to be published, but it's heading in the right direction.
Untitled Poem
Fall '02
I sit gently upon the grass
pondering.
Watching the brown and red leaves
drift gently to the ground.
The surrounding forest offers
a splendid array of trees to
shed their summer clothes around me.
Are there faeries guiding
each and every falling leaf?
I catch a glimpse of a leg
and hear a soft giggle.
The flutter of a wing,
a soft whisper;
I believe that faeries
truly do exist.
Is that their elixir?
Does faith feed them on
just as disbelief kills?
A gold leaf with blood red veins
lands gently on my outstretched hand
and floats away
inviting me to follow it.
I rise and stroll down the path
leading into the darkness of the trees.
Soft fae music seems to
come from the trees
as I walk among them
inviting the sprites to come and join me
in a dance of joy and life.
