Extras

One of my favorite hobbies is writing. So for my extra page, here are some of the things I have written.

 

Sonnet.

Do you see the sky in all its glory?

With the light that shines down from above,

I will tell you this, a simple story,

Maybe it will be of tragedy, or love,

 

I dedicated my heart with all its faults,

To something that I could not live without,

I called it the Shakespearean waltz.

But for which I could not even amount,

 

To the same light in the broken sky,

That once gave Shakespeare inspiring light,

Now only gives me the lack of hope to try,

For I cannot amount to his might,

 

Would he be proud of whom he inspired? 

And the way she perceived the inferior world?

 

The Red Balloon.

(This was written in responce to a French grammy nominated movie called The Red Balloon.)

Child chasing his dreams,

-Chasing the streets,

He holds onto something tight,

            -never letting go with all his might,

Have you ever seen a kid so determined?

            -To keep something unforgotten?

This boy knows only joy,

            -Given to him by a toy,

This red balloon,

-is all the kid needs to shoot for the moon,

It follows him to no end,

-and its simply his best friend.

A simple Red Balloon.

When all is lost,

            -and the threads are crossed,

They killed his soul,

            -with the balloon’s life they stole,

But what they didn’t know,

            -was what would follow,

All the colors that came out of the sky,

            -And lifted the boy so high,

Giving him so much joy,

            -All because he lost his toy,

A simple red balloon.
