*This poem was made for an assignment in Ms. Chadwick's 1st period english class. It was to be written with lines from the great gatsby in it.
The Sunset where four candles flickered
is where i stood
looking ahead at tomorrow i see it turn
into the bright rosy-colored space
that makes up the half acre of deep pungent roses
as night began to fall
a poet, gulps the incomparable milk of wonder
as I looked towards the mountains
humming out into the darkness
in which the poet in me believed
was lit only by a yellow light
being joined by my lover
I took his hand into mine
we walked across the moonlit gravel
a white ashen dust veiled our path
as we walked on, hand in hand
we passed over a dark bridge
limited only by our love
flying high beyond ourselves
between grotesque reality and savage frightening dreams
Our deep feelings of love for eachother
can flourish and grow each day
any part of reality will make us who we are
turning us into the angels we need to be

Kellie,
How wonderful. I am reading the Great Gatsby and for the first time because of Bothell HS Students and Ms. Chadwick. This is so well done. Thank you for sharing.   I give it an A+! Nancy loves it too...
