The Beginning From the End

New Bright as dawn A fresh start A new beginning The beginning of the beginning Was frost’s cold breath As nature slowly sank Into decay A glistening green gem Born from the soil The soil Made of the dead When the new Became Dull as day Old

Thank you so much! I wrote this poem a long time ago, 7th grade I think.

Riley, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
