Back in highschool, I was part of the Creative Writers’ Guild. This basically meant that a group of us met every week to write. We even produced a folio, a collection of our written work. I have a couple of copies still with me and going through it today, I realized that I didn’t have any of my work in it. Mainly because I worked better with prose and the book showcased poetry.
I never was a poetry girl but I’d like to try my hand in creating poems. So, using the artworks which served as inspiration for the poems back then, I wrote three poems which, had it been written years ago, could’ve been included in the folio.
Hide and seek
That was our favorite game
The sweet autumn breeze against my face
Brings back memories
I hide, you seek, you hide, I seek
Over and over
Hide and Seek
It’s still our favorite game
I don’t know why we still do it
Maybe because we are so good at it
I hide my thoughts
You seek them out
You hide your feelings
I seek them out
And we are triumphant
When we reach the base
When you find my thoughts and I find your feelings
And the game starts all over again
I’ve never left this town
This town of old house, old trees, old traditions
My kin has never left this place
This place of cold feuds, cold summers, cold stares
Old, cold, no I have never left
This town, this place
But I want to
Sometimes I feel my mind go blank
White out, washed out
Like now….
