if every word was a note
03/27/2019
and every sentence a chord
if every paragraph was a song
and every essay an album
if every poem was a flower
and every sonnet a garden
if every sentence rule and comma guideline
was a brush stroke—
maybe you’d understand art
I enjoyed making this poem because I was trying to convey how writing is just as much an art as any other traditional art. I am happy that I was able to convey this through writing as well.
who is this kid in the mirror
how does he represent who I am
every shirt every sweatshirt
carefully picked to create
a persona that is shown
to classmates and peers
to look presentable
honestly
i would rather wear sweats
i made this poem as a mix between a commentary on the Fenn dresscode and how people want to impress each other with their clothes. A lot of people buy very expensive clothes and shoes to show off but I never been the type of person to do that.
It really is a shame
that on a beautiful day like today
i am stuck inside
attempting to do work
while distracted
by the birds
frolicking
on the other side
of the glass portal
I wrote this poem after looking out the window trying to brainstorm ideas. I am always happier outside, and I can’t wait to write poetry while surrounded by nature.
