This is my poem to English 2B

My mother said to look outside –

Upon the rolling sea –

The colors on the meadow wide –

As lovely as can be.

The shadow fell upon the earth –

And all was bleak again –

The wind blew in and laughed with mirth –

A darkened life ahead.

I started to turn back around –

Back to her warm embrace –

The darkness followed close behind –

I could not see it’s face.

In the cottage the fire burned –

It slowly warmed the room –

Mother huddled quietly yet –

I could not shake the gloom.
