Aww yiss

Oh look what I found! A poem that I wrote one time! I really am kind of into it, but I can't tell if that's just because I'm into myself or because it is really an okay kind of poem. So, you be the judge!!!

All Is Not Lost

The leaves were raining,
and the rain was leaving puddles
around my feet and misty imprints in the air,
and I have never felt more alive.
All morning the sun burned away at the fog,
leaving halos around tall buildings and church spires
--and I walked among the trees
and the people and the bus stops,
and I felt alive.
And then it's night and the stars are up and out and
I am four again.
I am four and I am in Australia, and
I am realizing the sky is just what it is
and you will always be right there,
right where I know to look.

And at least we're not drowning yet.
At least the skies have not swarmed down,
at least the rowdy sea has not decided that
enough is enough,
and seized the land once more.
For a time it is only just enough
and more than well enough,
for a time it is ok for waves to meet
rocks and for rocks to meet cliffs,
and for cliffs to meet grassy heaths
and heaths to meet roads
and roads to lace up the surface of the ground,
winding their way back to us,
to tell us of the sea.

Ok then. Let's go to work.


Thoughts???? Believe me, there is plenty more questionable creative writing from Freshman year where that came from! Oh boy.

Anyway. I don't really have much more to add, I guess. I can't remember when I last updated, but not much has been accomplished really in October. We've had some parties? I think maybe I'll think about this and post some more tomorrow. Right now it is really freaking hot, like sultry and irritating hot, like you want to turn on a small fan and not wear much clothing and sort of mope about in a sexy way, except how I am in Egypt so really all that is happening right now is my apartment is full of mosquitoes because the windows are open and I really do not feel like doing my homework. I wish I was somewhere sexy. Anyway! I should go eat some lentils or something. Will write more tomorrow! Kisses!
