Mother Nature

I look around and see in sight,

I saw waterfalls, trees, and flowers all to my right.

The trees made me feel as if I was in the Lion King

While the flowers made me feel like a bird that needed to sing

I looked up and a branch touched the back of my head, 

I turned around,

It was hanging off dead.

Everything was so bright and pretty besides that tree,

It made me feel all dark inside of me.

I felt so bad for the tree,

But I know mother nature will heal it in time

I continued to walk along

And let this time be mine

Yet all day, I couldn't stop thinking about her

Her beauty mocks me,

whispering her each and every perfect place 

Words like a whip, burning my skin

She sings softly, stroking her snakes and imperfections

still so stable.

She's an angel, merely sparing us

She's a gate-keeper, with the ability to kill us

Anytime.

She is a wonder

She is Mother Nature

This poem was written in a cold but loving classroom. We, the class, were tasked to write a poem with a partner of our choosing. I partnered up with my close friend Abby. In our poem, we wanted to add in many types of figurtive language, but also other poet techniques. How did the poem come out you may ask? Well you just read it.
