Ecstasy

Written in 8th grade.

Every little thing I see,
brings a little ecstasy;
a small flower,
pure
and sweet,
with the pleasures
that spring brings.
Maybe with this spring air
I will start to think
of what today can bring,
instead of the past
in all its glory.
Maybe I can make tomorrow
as good,
if not better,
than yesterday;
the yesterday I mourn for.
Or maybe I will lose myself
to the subtle simplicity.
And maybe for once
it will all be okay.

I love the overall innocence of this poem.

"Or maybe I will lose myself
To the subtle simplicity."


I often tend to lose myself in the subtle simplicities of life...Thanks for sharing this.

Cool Beans!

It will be. I think there's always a haunting that's going on if we are reminded of things we've either had and lost, or never had but always wanted. I think anyone with half a heart could relate to this write.

Thanks for sharing it.

I like this poem because it can mean something different for everyone who reads it. Just look at the reviews. This poem flows great, good use of words.
WRITE ON!

This is so hopeful! Sweetly looking toward the new promise that spring always seems to bring with it.

How coincidental that we would both be called Bri and both be entered in the same contest! I wrote a series of haikus for mine, but personally I think yours is better. Good luck in the contest and have fun writing!

"The yesterday I mourn for. "

its universal i think. i like it its simple but it gets its point across.

aw this is just sweet all over. I know what you mean, always doting on the past when you want to move forward. In this you're just hoping this "Spring season" will bring you the will to move forward instead of back. Beautifully put I hope you won the contest.
