Dear Readers,
Happy Monday!
Today’s Progress:
Over the weekend I continued to work on both of the first drafts and realized that I liked one much more than the other. Guess which one didn’t click with me? The shoe poem! I guess I will have to keep working on it in the future weeks. On the other hand, the poem about leaves is starting to come together and I will hopefully finish it by this Friday! I plan on adding many more stanzas, but after playing around with a lot of first drafts for this poem, this is what I like best:
(Just to clarify, this is just the beginning, I will add many more stanzas)
From the leaf of a tree
From the leaf of a tree—
comes that one drop of water
that could save a little boy's life,
From the leaf of a tree—
falls a small bird,
ready to learn how to fly
From the leaf of a tree—
small insects
observe their new world,
From the leaf of a tree—
a breath of fresh air,
clean air to fill my lungs.
I hope you like the overall concept of this poem!
~ Golden Ink
