Poem #35: Places of Me
#36 of Poetry
This was a sophmore English assignment. We were required to write a poem about ourselves. Here it is.
Places of Me
The silent ssshhh of black
Need not make its way back,
For to mine eyes it appeals.
The taste of savory red meat
Playfully swims in the pool
Of summer's hottest day.
Its ways have made it
Into my taste.
Yet this taste I feel I have so rare.
Yet my favorite place,
My place of residence,
Is hardest yet.
Residing in safety
Discussing,
with best friends trusted;
Or is it residing
Within mine self?
Someday I will find
The place that is this place of mine.
