Sylvia

Teen Poet

The Deer

Trotting through the woods

Pure, calm

The lush green all around

White dots littered over its coat

Dark, round eyes

Sweet and beautiful

Till its fur is painted red

(It’s been a while since I have posted on here, school has gotten busy. This is one of the poems I submitted in that poetry collection contest, I’ll post the rest when I have a tad more time.)

[sylviaputnamdoe]

I just submitted a small poem collection to a contest all the way in Ontario. It will be another month or two until I they send the results. Wish me luck!

Echo

I'm home

The cold hardwood greets me

I call out and hear nothing but

my own voice

It hits the walls

one after another

Without a soul to catch it

Upstairs

downstairs

the bathroom

your bedroom and mine

You’re gone

(One of many poems I’ve written about a day I will never forget.)

Frostbite

Buried in ice and snow

Glittering and cold

Light flurries falling from the sky

Nipping at your fingers and your toes

Your ears and your nose

Yet as you lay

Staring at the sky

A warmth floods your body

Before you calmly fade away

In a sea of white

(I went on a walk in the snow today, it’s cold out but don’t mind, I find the snow rather pretty.)

Winter Dreams

It’s cold out

The snow is pure,

Sparkling in the sunshine

Which offers minimal warmth

Little snowflakes stuck to dark lashes

The white is calm

Silent

It’s beautiful

And yet,

Despite the lovely image in front of me,

I still long for the life which lies underneath

(It’s really cold in Canada at the moment so I’m sharing some pictures that I took last year when I was on a walk.)
