Authors note: Do you remember those days in spring that were so warm that you truly thought maybe summer is here? Well I do. My inspiration for this poem was one of those day.The kind that made you really truly believe spring is over, but then the next day the rain and storms are back.
Misfit days filled with warm summer air
No more snow to cover the ground,
a layer of green grass is revealed.
Yesterdays sunlit earth--
Replaced by the dark and dreary sky
And misting clouds above my head.
Gentle waves press against my feet
Taking steps across the warm sand;
Ones I could not take the day before.
This back and forth motion between
Forces a false sense of summer,
Because now the ferocious wind is back.
This day will last in my memory
My footprints marked in the sand as proof
Of a flawless summer day.
This is a really pretty poem! I know like exactly what you mean about summer! Wellll Donee :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this poem a bunch! I thought it was very creative and I love the last section of it. Good job!!!
ReplyDeleteEven though I read this poem that one day you showed it to me in social studies, I forgot how well written it was because all I really did was fly by it and not really read it. But once I comprehended it and really took in what you were trying to get across, it was really good!!! Nice job Caitlin
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool poem. Its cool how you go back and forth, just like your point. I really enjoyed this!
ReplyDeleteThat was really cool! I love spring, and this poem made me imagine sort of a spring-summer mix. It was really creative. On sort of a random note, I really like your blog. The colors are really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI could really relate to the poem because it was very well written. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI think it was almost kind of funny how on one hand you sound like your in the middle of a dream, and on the other, you're mad because of the rain. The best part was the last two paragraphs. First summer's a fake, then the world is great because it's summer time now. It kind of reminds of Ed, Edd, and Eddy. "Summer rains, you can never..." *thunder and rain* "predict them."
ReplyDeleteThis is such a nice poem, but really makes me want those "misfit" days back! I would suggest you to fix a couple spelling typo's in your author's note. Other than that, great!
ReplyDeleteThis was a cool poem. You did a good job describing how spring feels like summer some days, but not so much others. I also like how you changed the color when you described those two situations. Nice job Caitlin!
ReplyDeleteVery well writen. Like Sammy said you changed the color and emotion of the situation very well.
ReplyDeleteI really like that poem. It kind of made me depressed, but it was really good. I liked how you called them misfit days. nice job :)
