POEM STARTER

Submitted by Annie

Write a poem about the feeling of youth.

Which elements will you explore to portray this feeling to your readers?

Origins

Dancing in a field of sunflowers to the music of the bees

Laughter echoing through the valleys

Rays of sunlight watering plants

Yeasty aroma with a hint of fresh lemon

Wind fighting his loose hair

He remembers…


A baby

His first colors

smiles

laughters

Words

A first step into the world


Time ran


A kid

A smile

richer than gold itself

With a new found wonder

He dives into the rainbows

Of friendship

Comes out with one color

The only color meant for him

And so they lived

Laughed

Cried

Sang

Competed

Fought

Laughed some more


Slowly heading down a road

One known to be bumpy

Stormy

Windy


A boy

A heart

beating

For the first time.

Butterflies gather into a ball

Happiness seems like so much more

Hopes buried for the future

A rush so great

It was almost a dream

One that lasted merely seconds


In those moments

Time seems to have hidden itself

Taking with it the dream of ever being okay

It felt like his walls crumbled

Leaving only a heart

A damaged one .


Then he knew

All this hurt

All this joy

All this numbness

This desire to sprout faster

Desire meet the best version of himself

Was a all necessary part of youth

Even the bad .
