Mlle Rose's Marvelous Words
A collection of poems and short stories (mostly) that I wanted to share with others, and perhaps even get some feedback on.
The Art of Poetry: A Response To 'Ars Poetica'
For class we had to make a response to the poem by Archibald MacLeish 'Ars Poetica', whether poetic or not. I decided a poem best fit for me and I managed to piece this together. Please enjoy.

The Art of Poetry

The gentle feel of a spring breeze
Passing wistfully through the leaves,
That is what a poem is to me.

Words flowing free -
Water rolling downstream
Warmed by sunshine's golden beam.

The brush of fingertips
When illness grips,

A warm and welcoming smile
That carries you a mile -

Timeless as the look
Glanced from your nook;
Caught by chance
With your first romance.

The simple beauties of this world
Precious memories unfurled
All laid bare for us to see.

That is what a poem is to me.
