Poems from LaireOfIthilien
Hello! I am Abby Erwin, an aspiring biology teacher.
"Why would she choose to be a part of this community if she really loves biology?" you ask.
First of all, biology is beautiful. Have you ever seen the graceful curve of a DNA strand, or a cacophony of cells, crowded together in a zen-tangle of life?
Have you ever gazed up at the trees and wondered at their strength and slenderness?
Have you stared into the eyes of another human being and seen the depths of their soul, and asked yourself why the eyes work that way?
I have.
Secondly, I am more complex than that. I am not only a biological-dreamer; I have feelings and happenings, just like everyone does. Why would I not have room for poetry in my life?
Personally, I think everyone could be a poet, if they tried.
The Eagle
Swooping, soaring, over branches
And under sun.
Silent, graceful, over branches
And under the sun.
How can I, a sinful human...
The Snowy Hollow
Trees reach up
Like long slender hands
Over the stillness.
All is hushed
There is no need for
Words.
Snow blankets
Like...
Plymouth
Stars shine down
Over the twilight;
The mountains of old
Silent in stillness.
Waters and cliff face
Blend down into one
As...
Drums in the Deep
In different years, in a war of old,
A tale of triumph and defeat is told.
The fellowship, turned away from snow,
Chose...
Coleceanth
Have you seen the rain at night
Lumined down by city light?
It pounds upon the asphalt here
Makes fountains clear as crystal...
