Reflection

Another year gone... Even though I missed my blog's birthday, I'm having an EXTREMELY late post about it. It's been a while since my last post. Here are some poems I wrote, thinking about the past year.

Fireworks
Colorful, expressive
The night sky explodes with your wonder
As the your light fades away,
My eyes are still filled by your beauty

Though I didn't see any on New Year's eve, I still love just thinking about them.

Spring Breeze
Grass turns green,
Cold becomes warm
A gentle breeze comes and goes
With spring on its shoulders

This year spring came a little early, but left a week later. It's starting to warm up again!

The Hunt
I duck into a bush
Nothing!
The enemy must have gotten there first!
One more chance
Could it be there?
A small knot in the tree?
I bound towards it,
Enemies at my heels,
And lunge to find...
A plastic easter egg!

I made this up as a cute take on what a kid might think of an Easter egg hunt. My dad was always afraid that my sister and I would get different amounts of eggs on "hunts," so he would give my sister part of the house to search, and I would get the other part.
