Split


           I wrote this piece as one of my two time poems. I stretched it out to be longer when I first wrote it, but felt it was naturally a shorter poem. When I later edited this poem I cut out the extra lines to what is left now. I had fun writing with the short rhymed couplets. I felt this poem was very clean and structured which I liked that about it.
Split

I do not know the right way to go,

But the road splits hence it must be so,

 

I have followed my feet to this spot,

But it is right here which I have been caught,

 

I felt a comfort under this sky,

But it was just infinitely high,

 

I saw the wind rushing through the grass,

But my heart knew the moment would pass,

 

I must keep on following my feet,

But one day the time will come to meet.
