Literature Text

I edge along the rivers end,
To find a forgotten cause.
Where the flowing water has crested,
And all sounds make a pause.


I wait without motion,
Listen to the frogs croak.
As the waters splashes calmly,
Alongside my cloak.


And although I mask the scene,
Of a once summer day’s time,
When the children they gathered,
With the sunset sublime.


They looked for the gold,
Of a vacation well spent,
as they packed up their gear,
and settled down in their tent.


But the days have been harsher,
As the years put on wear.
With a dog back at home,
And a new life to compare.


So I settle down gently,
As I watch my face gleam.
Setting off a small sailboat,
From a long forgotten dream.


He floats down the current,
A young sailor at sea.
With a valley of monsters,
But the size of a flea.


He drifts to the horizon,
Over the sand and the clay.
So I can make others ,
For another monotonous day.
Made this for a poetry contest at school, thought I'd share it. Might share some more writing in the future...
