The lights flickering

gives you that feeling of sickening.

the snow coming down by the foot

being forced to stay put.

nothing to do but sleep and eat

or just relax and put up your feet

good thing my mom is home

because I’m terrified of the dark and being alone

please just give me my power

so I don’t have to worry about taking a bittercold shower

Eco-Poetics and Len taught me I can write a poem about just about anything. The class was an awesome start to our time here, we really got in touch with the island and got to see all of its beauty and what it really has to offer. Hearing the other students work also opened my eyes to their problems and hardships and also what they enjoy, I think this class really brought the house of 18 totally different kids together and we really learned a lot about each other as well as ourselves.
