gray skies and orange, crisp leaves that fall in autumn, the “year’s last loveliest smile” (w.b.)

I really love how you used quotes that you felt described you at the end. I feel like that added a whole other level to your poem. It was a very original idea and from reading your poem you seem like a very original and fun person!
ReplyDeleteHi McKenna! Your poem gives great insight into your personality with your tastes and background, it has been written beautifully. I feel like it lets a person get to know you very well through your interest in cats, travel, and generally enjoying life. I relate to you in that I have a very hard working family and a sibling six years apart from me. Fantastic job writing, I can't wait to see what you write next.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bit of who you are--which is a bright and curious and lovely person, one who looks for beauty and finds it, a giver, an artist, a girl so important to her family. I am the same about money and gifts and I love the line about autumn as a "smile." I'm ready for the boots and sweaters and smells of fall. You are wise to realize "everything is going to be okay in the end."
