                                              So, these are both blasts from the past, back from the depths of the eighth grade! I do hope that you enjoy! I know some people prefer poems to haikus, so here are a few to balance out the haikus I wrote the other day. Cheers!

                          ===============================================================================

                          Leaves crumble underneath my feet.
                          Few cling to the dead branches now.
                          Flowers wither,
                          Clouds frown,
                          The sun refuses to shine,
                          As I walk by.
                          A curse or a blessing?
                          I cannot tell.
                          As I speak to the stars,
                          They dim.
                          Nothing to guide me.
                          The sky darkens under my touch.
                          Water blackens,
                          Plastic melts,
                          Glass shatters,
                          Yet I continue to walk,
                          Yearning for home.
                          My hope cannot shine
                          In a night
                          So dark.
                          Sunrise cannot save me now.
                          Sunset has come.
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          Summer is deep on the skin
                          And a light seems to come from within
                          It seems like all bad weather is at an end
                          But then it begins to rain
                          Again
                          The spring flowers shed their coats
                          As if trying to shed the sleepy frost as well
                          Even though the wind may howl like a demon
                          Their roots stay in the ground
                          Again
                          Sugar tries to sour
                          And snow tries to turn back into rain
                          But they'll keep failing, over and over
                          Again
                          =============================================================================
