Poetry

One of my recent assignments was to write a short free-verse (nonrhythmic) poem. I got to pick the topic. =)


I thought I'd share it with you, so here it is! :) I hope you like it as much as I do.

A poetry contest came up in our County and I decided to enter my poem. Much to my extreme surprise... I found out the next week that I had won! So exciting! =D

The contest required a minimum of eight lines, so I had to add two to my poem. I've italicized the added lines below.

BEST FRIEND

by: Emily Hendrix

  

Bright red hair, in the sun,

Reflecting the light inside her.

Her joyful spirit makes me glad,

when she laughs, I laugh too.

Lots of time making memories,

Chatting, laughing, having a blast.

Near or far, always there 

making me smile, is my best friend.

Blessings!!
