ok, I lied. Who needs to study anyway?  ========== The streets are deserted The beaches are bare The scorching sun burns my back But all I feel is air. I feel the grainy sand Between my bare, tanned toes No clouds pass over the land As the day comes to a close. The deep blue sea Washes away the sand Castles made have vanished Somehow I seem to understand. The city is asleep No one makes a sound While slowly Cali burns Slowly I turn around. I walk away From this soundless land I thought somehow it'd be better I thought it'd be more grand. California's burning The ashes fill the sea The way the flame consumes me Makes me want to leave. California's burning. "If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that i was made for another world." |

I really liked this poem. very nicely written. WELL DONE leah! I liked it a lot.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

"California's Burning" Outstanding. No one needs to study when you write poems like this. I think the library is calling you... ~AF~ Know what you want. Become your real self. |
