Assignment for 27 January 2016

College Life

Empty, lonely, space. Above my head,
there lies your empty bed.
And I sit here, missing you.


Clean and messy both at once;
different, but yet the same.
Roommates, but also friends.


Wrinkles of fabric sitting there,
Dirty clothes, bundled in the corner.
They sit in the basket-waiting.

Introverted, quiet, and shy.
People sit and wonder why.
They need to know, I'm not afraid.

Family

Laughter and smiles a distant memory.
When can I go back to you?
I am not happy here anymore.

The clock counts down,
the fans watch, in excited tension.
You shoot, and you score.


Loud arguing all around,
the sound of hate? Or love?
It's the sound of family.

Fluffy, and soft wagging tail.
Cute, black little nose.
A dog's love is better than most.

Nature

Sun pouring down behind clouds.
Grey skies and chilly winds.
The white snow melts in my hands.

Silent, dark, and eerie night.
Stars shine in the darkness.
Night is welcoming and peaceful.


Still snow, but not all grass
My favorite weather is here.

In between winter and spring.

Music

Music filled the room
as the baton lifted
in the conductor's hands.
Melodies and harmonies
blended together.
A beautiful sound
flowed around the room.
A diminuendo created
to let the trumpeter solo.
The last chord of Mozart
echoed on listening ears.
The performers stared
in amazement at each other.
The pure emotion and passion
brought together a group
of dynamic people.
As only music can do.

The Poster 

A poster hung above her wall
of New York City
illuminated by the lights,
and stars filled the sky.
It glowed;
purple and blue.
The city called to her,
she wanted exploration-
wanted to find excitement.
She loved the noisy
and busy streets.
All she knew was
her small town.
Quiet and peaceful.
She loved both-
her town
and the city.
She didn't want to choose
something new
over something
she knew.
Eventually, she will have to choose,
but not now-
not yet.
