The Light Poem by Paige Scott
The Light
*-I was up late, and my sister challenged me to write a poem. I told her I could not possibly do so on a whim, without any 'inspiration, ' but she persisted. She said, 'Call it 'The Light'.' So here is my poem- written on a whim, very quickly done. Hope it turned out alright! ! -*
One day I thought I saw a light—
But scarcely could I tell—
I only caught it in its flight—
As it flew o’er the dell.
You see, it had been dreary—dark—
So long since last I’d seen—
I only thought—for it seemed stark—
That it was a light-beam.
Then “quick! ” thought I—
“Surely follow; seek where it doth lead—
But it lead into the sky!
Yet still I follow—for I have found the need.
I have always done better when given a task (a la Creative Writing Class, etc) . I don't know why that is. But I rarely come up empty that way. Lucky you have a sister to challenge and inspire. (it obviously works well) . cheers Patti
This is clever as it's put well together with good rhyme and flow. If you hope the Light turned out right, a really do think so, but it left a question in my mind, why you had the need to follow... Karin Anderson
