More poems from my past!

So for mother's day, my family and I went to my grandparent's house, which used to be our old house. I was rifling through my old filing cabinet and found even MORE poems that I was forced to write in middle school. I say forced because that's the only reason I wrote poetry in middle/high school. I always hated poems until recently. I thought they were just retarded spurts of thought said in an esoteric and abstract way so as to impress people. I guess I just had to give it some time.

Anyway, this is from a poetry project. You had to pick a theme and write poems with different techniques. I apparently chose "Night" as my theme (along with an excessive use of commas). These are my favorites.


Moonlight
(Lyric)
The moon shines its light,
On everything in sight,
Its silvery beams,
Never fail to bring me dreams,
And while the stars prance,
In my mind I dance,
In lands faraway, faraway, faraway...


Moon Man
(Metaphor)
The moon is like a man
Who watches over me,
But I wonder why he has no tan,
Since he is by the sea,
Perhaps he does not like the light,
And does not like to ever fight,
With his counterpart, the Sun.


The Habits of Dreams
(Alliteration)
Dreams disappear during the day,
But when night comes, they always want to play,
Dreams are fickle friends, you know,
Like a thin blanket of newly laid snow.
