  Giving A New Meaning to A Bad Day

  

  By mdancer1399, Polk City, IA

  Looking back, I don't know why I chose this moment to break down. I mean, it's just a few wires and ear buds mixed up with each other. I only wanted the music to block out the rest of the world. Headphones on, mind off. Just me and the melodies. And any other time, it wouldn'...

  Change

  

  By mdancer1399, Polk City, IA

  Snow melts away to spring's flowers. A blue sky is overtaken by storm clouds, releasing showers. The clock's hands tick from twelve to one, The night sky gives in to the rising sun. Happiness to heartbreak, To give or to take, Alive or dead, From dating to wed. Haircuts make long t...

  Darkness

  

  By mdancer1399, Polk City, IA

  Heavy as a ton, just waiting to attack the daylight sun. It could be on the other side of earth, or lingering behind ashes in an unlit hearth. When it's around many say not a word, yet every little sound is amplified and heard. It lurks in shadows and behind unseen doors. It creeps up and gr...

  From A Tree's Point of View

  

  By mdancer1399, Polk City, IA

  People pass me by without a second glance, No one likes the ugly tree with no leaves. My branches extend out in every which way, Getting tangled within each other. I look still on the outside, Yet inside, water and nutrients course through my tissues. I stand in wait, until the season co...

  Rainy Day

  

  By mdancer1399, Polk City, IA

  As I look outside, the pitter-patter of the rain beats against the window. The fresh raindrops splatter against the sidewalk. When I step outdoors, it smells of wet, earthen soil, The sky is getting darker, And heavy, almost as if the gray clouds are weighing down the sky. It's spring-t...

  Autumn

  

  By mdancer1399, Polk City, IA

  That first gust of cold air, Can be someone’s dream or nightmare. The leaves are changing color, fall is setting in, As leaves dance in the air, flying with the wind. Piles of leaves lie in wait, as I shuffle, Down the sidewalk and through the gate, There sits a tree, with leaves all around,...

  Wintertime

  

  By mdancer1399, Polk City, IA

  The soft sound of snow crunching beneath my feet, And I can’t think of any other place I’d rather be. Snowflakes are falling, sticking in my hair, As I see my breath in front of me in the cold, brisk air. Rolling snowballs to have a fight, I love the way snow reflects the sunlight. It’s ...

  Volleyball

  

  By mdancer1399, Polk City, IA

  Volleyball, the sport girls love to play Anytime, anywhere, night or day. Bump, set, serve, When the ball comes at you, you better have the nerve, To pass it to your setter and get to the line, Then call it out, that set’s mine! Two steps, then up, and off the set, Spike that ball right...
