The New Girl

My friend Ally asked me to write a poem for her drawing and this is how it turned out! 

_______________________________________________

There was a new girl in class today
She had long blonde hair 
And light eyes that wandered the room.
And when she walked by me
I smelled her sweet perfume. 
She wore an oversized jacket
That seemed to swallow her whole.
And when she looked at me and smiled
I knew she had a kind soul. 
I wanted to ask for her name
I wanted to get to know her. 
But when the bell rang 
She was out the door all the same. 
The hallways were crowded 
As I looked for her blonde hair.
But she was lost in the sea of people. 
She had disappeared into thin air.

    Mother to Child

    From the day you were born I loved you unconditionally. 

    I loved you every second, of every minute, of every day. 

    When you were born, I was reborn alongside you.

    Lake

    Fall

    You are still, but the bright trees around you shake. 

    Colored leaves fall onto your surface.

    The wind howls, but you are calm.

    One: A Tale of Love

    I never realized

    There was a big difference between

    Being in love

    And loving someone.

    Not until you came along.

     

    I’ve come up with an idea.

    I call it

    The hole of love.
