Independent Writing #10

When I wrote this, I was thinking about what things make me happy. Mostly the weather, but people I care about make me happy too.

---------------------------------------------------

All Things Come Together


Sun in the summer
Winter and the rain
These are what drive me
When I feel the pain


Winds across the sand
Heat over the isle
All things come together
If only for a while


I cannot speak of things untrue
But here they rest anew
Bringing groves of trouble
So afresh and yet so blue


I cannot ignore the plans of tomorrow
Nor forget your smile, so pure
But this that can be known
I am happy for sure

A la Nikki Giovanni. Google her poetry--I think you'll like some of her "love poems"-your work reminds me of her work.

Nice job. Good command of rhythm and rhyme.
