Summer Nights

[raconteur99]

The wind tickles the lion’s soft cheek
While the bluebells sway musically
In the swirling wind
While the bread-and-butter flies tap dance
As the canvas of the sky
Is splattered haphazardly
With blood red and army green and
blue
Bring back memories of multi colored
Play-Doh wigs and
Midnight rendezvous with
Oreos and oranges
and
Little girls who dance in

:O did you write this? because it's gorgeous. i love it.

sorry to hop over here. i'm not a stalker, promise! even though all the other mods say i am. i'm so misunderstood :(

[raconteur99]

I did. :)

And that's quite all right darling...I actually wrote this BEFORE I got sick. When I would be depressed when i got home, i would read this and remember how much fun I used to have with life, and then be happy again!

i'm such a sap. :P

[chasingvertigo]

awww, that is - i don't have a word for how that makes me feel. but i think it shows strength of character, that you can look back on the past to make yourself happy. not everyone can do that. & you're young, too, aren't you? like 15, i think?

(i know, this totally helps my i-am-not-a-stalker claim. *shiftseyes*)

[raconteur99]

I am quite young *fans face*. You were right about 15...so smart you are. Taking 14 and adding 1. :P

He he. Sorry...that was just a tad snarky. Heart ya anyway!:P

I think I'm going to add my WA piece onto here. What do you think?

This poem is nice sweet and tender =) I like one!

heehee, I'm "throwing some sparklies." I love this poem, like I loved the last one I commented on, the one in Livejournal. I also love chasing pavements, by adele, and especially the last two lines, sort of juxtaposing the general tone of the piece.
also, I read your comment on your lj poem that you'd read Great Gatsby in school recently. I have this strange notion we just might be in the same school, because I did too, haha :)

thank you!! this is probably the first poem i've ever written that i'm proud of (i wrote it hm...sometime freshman year, at like 2 in the morning).

haha, i don't think so- i scrolled down through your entries & you mentioned a history packet. my history teacher doesn't believe in teaching or handouts, so unfortunately, we do not. i would die for a good history teacher, lol.

added! =]
