AHHHH sorry everyone! I totally forgot to post yesterday. The parents are on the campus for parent festivities, so I've been scrambling and eating good food that isn't Dartmouth Dining Service. Thank. God.
Oddly enough, I wrote this poem in Tuesday... right after I said I wouldn't be posting twice a week anymore.
Also oddly enough, I have like nothing to do this weekend, so a poem or two may get done.
Finally, this is a sonnet. I haven't written a sonnet in literally a year. Yeah. Don't write them often.
A wall has stood, quite fortified for years,
A civil engineer’s endearing art.
The charm is that its rock face makes frontiers
For quiet vines to nestle in its heart.
When made of stone, one’s shortcomings seem scant,
That pain is only someone’s simile.
But elements are kinder on a plant,
As if they recognize a family.
The sun, the day, the rain weigh down the time,
And what erodes the wall gives to the seed.
When all is said and done, concrete is grime,
And the organic finally is freed.
The green dissolves the harder slate of gray.
These fingers that adapt survive the day.
