Collective Creative Writing Club Poem

Come spring, and moss unfurls to greet sunlight.

Build flora and fauna out of its rays

The emerging light has a stunning display!

a display of lights and stars and every child’s dream

the sunlight shines bright on the seaside

The ballgown shone like a chandelier

It had turquoise peacock feathers and rosy pink gems 

It sticks out in my lunchbox, sprinkled with garlic and moss.

I could feel my heart beat so clear, my hearing went dull

So dull that you would be able to hear a squirrel 

And yet so humid you could reach up and grab a water droplet 

As we sailed through the supernova of waves, 

I wished we were in the stars so bright above.

It was chasing me. THEY were chasing me. 

But I need to keep going, what else am I going to do?

I ran and ran, not even knowing if my destination existed.

And therefore fire is flammable.

The microwave knew this all too well.

Flowers grow in the laundry basket.
