Just a Little Bit Unknown

Summary:

I'm in what's called a "Creative Writing" class, and my teacher really wants me to put my poetry out there. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly a fan of poetry, but I figured that since she likes it, others might like it as well.

Although, to this day (2022) I'm still proud of this stanza:

Home is an abstract thing
It is the white stag in a meadow
It is the timeless clock in your pocket
And the momentous movements
of the instruments that make
the music in your heart

Notes:

This is the first poem that the class wrote. We made a list of random words, ending with a total of about 60 or so to chose from, and had to use at least five words per stanza. The theme, obviously, is Home.

Chapter Text

HOME

 

Home is an abstract thing

It can make one to feel a sense of longing

Or even belonging

Some feel neither

Some feel both

 

Home is exhilaration

It is winning a race

Feeling the muscles

of a powerful horse

surging beneath you

As you lead them over jumps

And through trails

Under trees and over water

 

Home is comfort

It is curled up in warmth

With a book

And a blanket

In a bed

Or on a bean bag

It is music in your ears

as you laugh or cry

 

Home is satisfaction

It is warm food

And a full belly

It is sitting in front of a window

With a warm cup of tea or cocoa

As rain falls over green pastures

And fog rolls down from the hills

 

Home is an abstract thing

It is the white stag in a meadow

It is the timeless clock in your pocket

And the momentous movements

of the instruments that make

the music in your heart
