Our Day

“OUR SONG” BY TAYLOR SWIFT
———-
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of her car
She one hand on the steering wheel,
The other on my soul.
—————
I look around, roll the window down,
She says, “Is there something wrong?”
I say, “Nothing. I was just thinking about how [...]

The Mountain’s song

by sapphire on July 13, 2009

The mountains sing a song unknown
The wind cries it’s plea,
The river rushes out
through the rocks to me

~~~~~~~

A bear stumbles onto his back
his mother comes to his side

I would not want/to go out and play
Minus 183*c  and minus 300*F in the [...]

In The Land of Georgia

by sapphire on May 12, 2009

The poem is about the main character Paul-Edward Logan who is in the book The Land By Mildred D. Taylor
I am from my daddy’s land
Where it is magical and green
Where horses graze and cattle stay
In the land of Georgia
I am from Africa, Europe and
I have Native American blood
My Grandfather was Kanati
In the land of Georgia
I [...]
