The Bracelet

wrote this when i was aboput 15. havent seen it in a while!

The house is occupied again
With fam'ly, friends and wine.
I sit and wait till it's my turn
To get the present within.

They call my name amongst the din
And I turn to see a face,
A face all cheery and bearded white
And covered with red and lace.

He hands me something small and gold
And wrapped with the finest care.
I gentley free a small black box
From the paper and I stare.

Upon opening I find a small trinket,
A bracelet of some sorts.
A shimmering circlet of bells and hearts
And ships sailing to ports.

I do, in fact, see everything
Upon this silver ring.
There are cats and dogs, flowers and frogs
And many a wild thing.

I put it on and smile and smile
At the gift that has been given.
I cannot believe that I had recived
Such a beautiful sight that I'm driven,

To wear this silver all throught the night
And even as I sleep.
But when I awake I feel it not there
And I scramble to find it;to keep.

I look and look and look to find
It sitting on my stair.
The ships are in a tizy and
The frogs are everywhere.

I cry from joy to see my gift
Un-harmed, un-touched, prestine.
I look around for my box
To keep it in, all clean.

I find my box, and also a card
That has my boyfriends name.
'To my love' is written there
And a picture with a frame.

This picture is so small, but sweet
That I cry from joy and love.
I have someone who I know loves me
And who will never give me up.

I wear that bracelet even now
At the age of eighty three.
And though he is gone and has long moved on
I know he is watching me.

I am not used to writing rhyming poems either. You did far better at it then I ever could though. Thus, I congratulate you. It is a truly amazing poem and I admire the ideas you obviously put behind it, to support it. I used to suffer from infinite writer's block as well. Good luck fighting to overcome it. I'll just let you know though, if you keep writing like this it won't matter how long it takes you to think of something or write it. Again, I enjoyed your poem and admire your handiwork.
