Varied views of . . . what? That's for you to explore. What is each poem about? Investigate. Love everything around you. Open your eyes to the world. Can you figure it out?
Imperfect Perfection
Unique, imperfect
Red, orange and yellow, you are a fall sunset.
A flame in a late autumn fire, you warm the hearts of many.
Smooth air with a light breeze,
You spiral and float all about.
Calm and cool, yet fiery at times,
You are the beauty and spark of life.
What is it like to blow around everywhere?
You're imperfect, yet perfect all the same.
Imperfect, unique, perfection.

In the Blueberry Fields
A painting by Van Gogh,
A forest green crayon.
The mountains and the rock,
In the blueberry fields.
A delicious, warm cookie,
A very beautiful flower.
The mountains and the rock,
In the blueberry fields.
Mountains against a blue sky,
Catching the eye instantly.
The rocks go on for miles,
Gray spots in the green.
The mountains and the rock
In the blueberry fields.
Dots of blue,
A snake slithers in the grass.
The mountains and the rock,
In the blueberry fields.

Still thinking about both poems. . .
ReplyDeleteAmanda and Hannah, Beautiful images in your poems. I especially like how you both use color to paint a picture with words.
