A visit
Where the blue sky meets the wave
Where the grey clouds caress the grave
Where the dawn wakes the wren
I’ll be there to meet you then.

In the old stone cottage we’ll stay
And in the cool dewy grass we’ll lay
We’ll look up at the skies
And then wave our good-byes
As I end my long extended stay.

© Gabriella B., Montreal, WI

As I sat in my English class, looking at the the blank notebook in front of me, I suddenly felt a rush of happiness, and I wrote down whatever came into my head. And out came this.

Thanks!  This one I polished up a bit more than the others and I think that helped the flow.

Writers are a less dangerous version of the career criminal. Everywhere they go, they see the potential for the perfect crime. The difference is that writers have better self control.

I like it. It flows so well. There is not a single line that I stumbled over.
