This was an assignment to write about a place that was special to me. I chose Carlisle Lake in Illinois...when the sun rises there it's spectacular. |

This was also an assignment for my literature class and this is the follow up to the poem to the left. |

I'll Tell You How the Sun Rose |
|
|
|
|
|
Have you seen it? The place where the sun meets the water? Surrounded by maples, A bed of dry leaves On the soft earth. The birds sing their 'good-morning' calls the fish are stirring round the shore Landscaped in granite and limestone white. The wind carries The campfire's scent, My father's coffee Brewing over a fire, It's worth a world Away from society When you face the east And that first ray of golden sun Streaks across the lake. |
|
|
|
I'll tell you how the sun rose-- Streaks of liquid gold White pillows pierced with yellow spears The Blue Void illuminated with the glow.
The waters danced, now aflame, Alive, it alerted upturned eyes Angels danced across the sky As the wind moved them along
The horizon slurped the glorious glow The pillows stained in puple and pink The eyes, they grow weary As the spears are removed
The fire died and grew cold Only embers now remained Waiting to be poked and rekindled for another day. |

I wrote this one on a day where I felt all of the stereotypical propaganda that comes with school the hardest. Hopefully, reading this will make you think. |

A School More or Less Ordinary |
|
|
|
The students sit; the bell rings It's time to take the test A teacher waves, teh chorus sings, A school, just like all the rest. Smiles and greetings, tossed about the hall Oh, the company of friends. They all seem to be having fun; but not all One, just pretends. Lunch: They sit and eat to refresh Grouped in cliques of nine or ten Some aren't allowed to sit wit the popular mesh Intolerance, one of the evils of men. One is forgotten, put down by them all. The school is not a happy places You can't walk proudly when the force you to crawl The school is not a happy place(when you're a disgrace) Since when was it a crime so foul To be different, unique, to be your own? Do you know what it's like when they look at you and scowl? For how they treat you, you hope they'll reap what they've sown There's only one thing that can remedy this But it's something mankind seem incapable of If you don't suffer like this, ignorance is bliss Well, hurt would not be, if we could only learn to love. |
