Backyard

A small poem I did for a perspective class I took the second semester of my freshmen year. It makes me smile, which I can't say many of my poems do. It's definitely different.

Old memories washed and blurred about with the new

Breaking your limbs with careless weight

Poorly maintained and then, only so

much, and even I never expected the day

that I’d look up and say “No”.

 

Where at one time you begged me to climb

now I was free to better things, refine.

And although I bore down on you with my childish dreams,

I’ll never apologize

because you’re a tree.
