One of the first poems I wrote, way back
when I was fourteen. Inspired by Robert Frost...

The Valley Low

I gazed into the valley low
and wondered how it feels to go
where birds sing gaily in the trees,
the feeling I will never know.

Oh how I long to feel the ease
of the cool but gentle breeze,
instead I try to ponder out
the answer to these mysteries.

I often feel the need to shout
because I have to live without
what other people have; but doubt,
I will ever cease to pout.


So what do you think?

6. Actually, I did too, I had an entire note books of poems at one time
But I think I ended up throwing it out. Since I had this one memorized; it's the only one that survived.

4. You wrote better poems at 14
than I wrote at 30. Good work.

5. Thanks everyone who replied.
I don't write a lot of poetry, since most of you know me mainly as a painter but I might have a few more to put up. :hi:

7. I enjoyed this poem... and it does remind me
of Robert Frost.

I have enjoyed your paintings, and I hope that you post more poetry, as well!


Welcome! :hi:
