I'm in a poetry writing class this semester and it is possibly my favorite class I have ever taken here at Radford University. Every month or so we have to write a poem and share it to the class and then the class does a group peer evaluation on it. Here is one of my poems I have written recently and have shared with the class-hope you enjoy!
Light Show
By Mark Samudre
My eyes have painted the sky
The color of a ripened peach
With the pastel blue creeping in
Giving me time
To rehearse in my mind.
The sounds of crickets and geese
Serve as background music.
The fireflies are placed in the grass before me,
Waiting for the cue from the moon.
Our bare feet dangle off the top of my car,
Following the same percussive
rhythm, as they bang on the glass.
The twilight blue has settled in.
The geese gloat and crickets chirp.
The moon nods its ring-shaped head
And the light show begins.
The fireflies twinkle in the grass before us,
Like Christmas lights
Wrapped in bushes,
Harmonizing with the stars
In perfect timing.
At the end
The only two clapping
Are you
And I.
