MY SONG

One of my poems for class;

MY SONG

I SING OF EATING BUTTERED POPCORN
WATCHING PUPPIES PLAYING ON
FRESH MOWN GRASS AND A CHILD
LAUGHING, JUMPING ON A TRAMPOLINE

I SING OF HOT CHOCOLATE AND A GENTLE HUG
SOOTHING MUSIC DRIFTING OVER CALM WATER
REFLECTING MOONLIGHT
CEDAR BURNING IN THE FIREPLACE

I SING OF A LONG LUXURIOUS STRETCH
AND A DEEP SATISFYING YAWN
EATING CHOCOLATE CAKE AND
SMELLING THE FRESH BREAD BAKING

BUT MOSTLY I SING OF A MOUNTAIN SPRING
WATER RUNNING THROUGH A FIELD OF FLOWERS
BELLS RINGING ON THE STILL AIR AS
AN EAGLE SOARS OVER THE CEDAR FOREST
