National Poetry Month Day 9

This was an Ode that I wrote for my high school poetry class.  I did a lot of planning on this one, but ultimately, I ended up writing about my writing ability.

My Gift

Everyone is born with a gift,

my gift is my ability to write.

Writing,

it's like riding a bike,

sometimes I fall off,

but I always get back up and keep riding,

along the road of inspiration,

looking for another good idea,

among the vast meadow.

I pick the most beautiful flower,

the one with just the right amount of details,

and I write,

carefully forming,

each and every little detail,

on crisp and clean paper,

until a poem is born.

My gift.
