Romantic Thoughts...

Soon,
There will be a bon fire.
We’ll all stand around,
And hopefully,
I’ll be next to him.
A big bon fire…
That could be romantic.
Standing around on a cool spring night,
Just as the sun finishes setting,
Hypnotically watching the fire,
Its orange flames licking the sky.
That could be romantic.
And then,
Watching the stars past the fire,

15 Romantic first kiss ideas

1. Watching the stars while pointing out constellations. The winter is the best time for this because the skies are always clear, and my favorite constellation is out then.
2. Walking at night in poet’s snow*.

Shelf Life

Shelf Life

By Myrrhanda Wentworth
Oxbow High School,Grade 10

Old
Used
Maybe even abused
Holding all of an old lady's keepsakes and well kept secrets

Photos
Lockets
Diaries
A patchwork blanket
An old set of keys
What sentimental things

Letters from someone she once allowed herself to love
Supressed feelings
Can't stay away for long
She remembers his big doe eyes
