So in my creative writing class, we started our poetry unit today. My teacher gave us six pictures and had us write a poem about one of them. I did this picture:
So this is what I wrote, want help naming it, though:
Crunch
Snow is wet
Owls almost loud
Beam reflecting off the wet
Beam reflecting off the snow
Berry falls
plop
On head
Branch drags behind
Needles poke my wrist
Why? I’m wearing gloves
Cold wet seeps into boots
Cold snow seeps into boots
Rabbit sees, scampers away
We were so close
Now two sets of tracks
Exist in the wet
Exist in the snow
In the cold
Between the trees
And the falling wet
Snow
Another step
Another
Crunch
Sky is dark
Mountains are not
Stars are not
Stars are rice on a black sheet
Needles and berries are not
Needles and berries are decorations on a tablecloth
Snow is not
Snow is blinding
Snow is wet
But bark is dark
So is sky
Grass pokes up
Would sway,
If not for the wet
If not for the snow
Cold and stiff, yes
But strong
Resilient
Doesn’t care what cold says
Doesn’t care what wet says
Doesn’t care what snow says
Doesn’t care what anything says
Just grows
Grows
Grows
Higher and higher
Even through the wet
Even through the snow
Moon glows
A spot of light
In a sky of dark
Almost enough to turn off the beam
But not quite
Still too dark
Even if just a little
Still too dark
Wool itches
Boots begin to cold
In the wet
In the snow
Coat for my body
Scarf for my face
Hat for my ears
Gloves for my hand
Needle prick
Boots shouldn’t be cold
Boots should be warm
I need new boots
Thanks to the wet
Thanks to the snow
Nose turns red
Red like berries
So do ears
So do cheeks
Eyes feel frozen
Frozen like wet
Frozen like snow
So does mouth
So do fingers
So do toes
