Favorite Quote:
Stones are just stones and rain is just rain and misfortune is just bad luck ~Anthony Doerr~


The sparrow alit on window frame

To exalt October's name

Fore the world was color yet

And the night with sound beset.

His chirp breached insipid air,

Roused me from my bed to stare

At dedicated herald of the dawn,

Celebrating the darkness withdrawn.

We observed conjointly the lightening sky,

Nature's meteorologist and I,

Sun setting aflame the leaves,

That had the day prior been verdant green.


The author's comments:

I wrote this for my school's October poetry contest. I was kind of at a standstill for what to write when the first line just came to me, and the rest is history.
