Ah, to be poetic

So I have always loved poetry I don't know if I told you all this but I want to be a writer and I have just recently finished (and am now re-doing) my first chapter of a book. Woohoo! Go me! Anyways an exercise I try to do as often as possible is write a poem. So now without further ado...

A moment

If a moment could be just that

I'd take it

I'd break it

I'd smash it with a bat.

Like a crystal, slivers shimmering on the floor

Dancing in the light, glimmering with ease

I'd make a day of gathering each piece

I'd take millions of moments, maybe more

Gathered together the moments would seem

Really nothing more

than a nightmare

Or a dream

Placing each broken moment in a drawer

Categorizing the type it may be

A look, a touch, a small fallen tree

So I could look upon them ever more

To take a moment and let it be just that

Glorious, shocking, simple, amazing

I'd take it

I'd break it

I'd smash it with a bat

Yeah a little random but I've been thinking a lot about moments lately and how beautiful simple little times in our lives can be.
