Poems

Main Author's Note: My goal was to complete three poems, because I do not take to time to write some. I looked and fusion and talked with peers to try and create the best poems. 

Devastated

As I was writing this poem my inspiration was a girl who’s team doesn't always have the best of luck. This happened to my team but we ended up scoring so I took it in the other direction, by not making the final shot.

My skin: cold and wet,

My heart: racing uncontrollably,

My shoes: sopping  with mud and water.

My breath: racing in and out of me

The ball: skidding quickly towards me

I turn

I know that I have to score

I know that we can’t lose

We need to win

There is no other option.

There is no other choice

I dribble down the field

I shoot

I hear the cheers

But they’re not for me

They’re for the goalie that saved the game

They’re for the goalie who made us lose

I sank to my knees

Devastated.

Rain 

Weather is a complete mood changer.  On a nice warm day everyone is joyful, but on a stormy day, it feels like the worst day.

As the clouds overpower the sun

Darker and darker it became.

The wind tearing through the trees

Watching all but one leaf all to the ground.

Listening to every splash, every rumble, every movement.

Cold droplets stream down my face.

My numb hands continue to catch the chilling water.

Looking up at the clouds.

Pure blackness.

A beam of light appears out of nowhere.

The downpour carries on,

But with more speed, more water, more excitement.

Spinning in circles,

The puddle ripples.

Glancing down at my reflection.

Studying the fade image.

Emotionless.

As the picture disappears.

I feel my cheeks curve upward.

Even though it’s raining now,

It cannot rain forever. 

Together Forever

Writing about love is something I am not used too, however a friend told me to try a technique that you write something outside the box. I decided to try it because from her personal experience it has ended up being some  of her best work.

My heart stops every time I hear his name.

His smile.

His laugh.

His eyes.

His personality.

His everything.

He is perfect.

When our eyes meet the butterflies awaken.

Trying to escape from the sudden rush of excitement.

When our hands touch,

The world freezes.

Motionless, but spectacular.

Feeling lost without him.

You know he is right for you.

Imagining him holding you close,

Never letting go.

You were meant to be.

Together.

Forever.
