Seesaw

One of the poems I wrote while taking a Creative Writing Class. The prompt was "a poem whose sound echoes meaning." Hope you enjoy. Jesus loves you <3

Day dawns.

Night falls.

Summer,

Then fall.

Warm days.

Cold nights.

Babies.

Last rites.

New toys.

New boys.

Love makes.

Heartaches.

Nap time.

Pay bills.

College.

Doc’s pills.

Run fast.

Now limp.

Bright lights

Now dim.

Know facts.

Now guess.

Simple.

Complex.

Sunset.

Sunrise.

That’s it.

That’s life.

 

Author's Note

Constructive criticism, please. I'm always looking for ways to improve my writing.

Thanks. I never thought about the pace. I thought mainly about life having ups and downs, like a seesaw
