23. The girl with braided hair

15 3 14
                                    


Dust, debris, smoke.

A broken pencil.

A few weeds and

A clump of grass.


Loud people

Crying kids

High sky

And hard ground.


But I see the light

And I see the day

And I see the joy

Of an early May


There's the wet grass

And the blue sky

And the whispering winds

And the spring sigh.


There's the little girl

With braided hair

Who waters us

With loving care.


There's dust and debris

And smoke's there too

But there's the girl with braided hair

And she's nice; it's true.

A/N: First month of school is over, and it was damn exhausting (I'd forgotten just how irritating my classmates used to be—they are worse now), and summer vacation is here. Saw YAFantasy's announcement about this poetry contest so I decided I'd give it a try, since I had time. 

I don't think I am that good at poetry. Don't enjoy writing it as much as I like reading it. But what do you think? How was it?

Like always, I decided to write at 11. And now it's getting late and I am going to sleep. Good night, people.

Shutting down,
