P0et9s Corner Original Poems From English Department WONDERING Wonder what's in life for me. When I become a man, Will I be known for great deeds, Or will misfortune be my plan? Wonder if l'll play the part To invent, discover, or build, These are thoughts within my heart That someday I hope be full filled. Now I'm eager to become a mon, I often sit and ponder I'm striving hard as I can To avoid Wondering, but I wonder. . . . . Fred Parks THE ROAD OF RIBBON The road was like a ribbon at night Gleaming for miles and miles In the pole moon light. Going on and on to distant lands Giving service to every man. Gleaming like a ribbon in some small child's hair Just roaming on without never a care. The road was bright with a gleam from the moon Making it look like a flower in bloom Shining like a ribbon so tiny and small Giving service to one and all. Going places, doing things, seeing what others may never see. . . . . Fay Davis SNOWFLAKES Like soft wisps of cotton, The snowflakes fell into wintry night, Each tiny crystal glistening In the fading moonlight. Soon the ground was covered With a carpet-like coat of snow. The night became silent, And the wind began to blow. Flurries of snow blew this way and that, Breezes of silver dust. Over the head and under the feet, The beautiful white snow brushed. The snow covered the world And the earth was blessed, For now it seemed like A haven of complete rest. . . . Evelyn Barrett LOVE Without you, it's like the sea without water, lt's like a sky without it's blue, lt's like a home without a family, That's what it's like without you. At night when the stars are shining above, lt is you that I am thinking of. You're in my arms so it seems, But it all ends up to be a dream. When a boy and girl meet with a smile And are greeted with a hug, Then life has begun to be worth-while, lt leads to one thing, and that is love. . . . Levi Burs 25
