Now that summer’s finally here, I’m sure many of you are heading off on vacations or at least small trips, such as camping. I am leaving for a trip and will be gone for lots of the summer, and since I don’t have an abundance of time to write a blog post at the moment, I thought I’d share a poem to welcome summer holidays.
This poem is a sonnet (look it up if you have no idea what that means. If you have some knowledge about poetry, a sonnet has a rhyming pattern of abab cdcd efef gg) about a campfire :). Enjoy!
Campfire
My eyes are burning in the blazing light
The beat of my heart joins the flames crackle
A breeze, soft and light, tickles through midnight
Outside we sit, so free yet ramshackle
Our souls indulge until the morning rays
With the coals, our worries we shall destroy
Laughing and singing, relighting old days
Forget our worries, remember our joy
As the faint crackle and the whisper fade
The sinking moon says a distant farewell
Dawn has come, a new journey has been made
My hopes are so high, my feelings so swell
By the flame and the forest I shall wait
Knowing that tonight’s fire will not be late
So there you go! Hopefully all you readers and writers and internet-browsers are having a wonderful summer that will continue to get more wonderful :).
