I've been tending to reflect on my life before I fall asleep each night. After a writing exercise in English class in which we had to write a poem about an image that was displayed, I began doing it in my free time. I've made a few un-skillful haikus, but I've done some free verse stuff that I'd like you to read, and perhaps get an opinion or two. Very open to criticism, anything to maybe better myself in this area. So without further adieu:
Let the flames begin
A tiny spark that makes me cringe
The waters no longer flow
The wind no longer blows
Things stop abrupt
As the flames corrupt
I give it all my soul and heart
Yet a memory remains
Of when things were not apart
It changes with just a tiny spark
As I listen to the noise
Of the playing girls and boys
I ponder the words of the wise
That have crossed through so much time
“Never give up on those you love,”
And “Always trust the one above”
As I let harmony begin
I know tomorrow pain comes again
Times is foe, time is friend
Yet it ceases to ever end
My heart is pounding
My thoughts are centered
Like an angel you are sounding
And all my dreams you have entered
My mind won’t stray from the thought of you
Because it’d be perfect if it were just us two
Let the flames begin
A tiny spark that makes me cringe
The waters no longer flow
The wind no longer blows
Things stop abrupt
As the flames corrupt
I give it all my soul and heart
Yet a memory remains
Of when things were not apart
It changes with just a tiny spark
As I listen to the noise
Of the playing girls and boys
I ponder the words of the wise
That have crossed through so much time
“Never give up on those you love,”
And “Always trust the one above”
As I let harmony begin
I know tomorrow pain comes again
Times is foe, time is friend
Yet it ceases to ever end
My heart is pounding
My thoughts are centered
Like an angel you are sounding
And all my dreams you have entered
My mind won’t stray from the thought of you
Because it’d be perfect if it were just us two
