Love of Sabby

Love of Sabby

The sun descends to the brilliant horizon

Casting the world in golden light

Everything gleams with a rich, auburn tint

As the moon and the sky reunite

The time of day when the world is still

For a moment, all is a hush

Even the pond stands in awe

And the dragonfly quiets its buzz

In one single voice the atmosphere calls

Goodbye to this treasured day

As it leaves on the wings of the breeze

A moment, too precious to stay

In class, we had to pick 4 words out of a group of 16 and write a poem from those words. The ones I picked were: Dragonfly, Voice, Silence, and Light. As I began jotting down ideas, a scene came to my mind… the time of day when the sun is setting, usually somewhere in the sky you see the moon, and everything is golden. One of my friends loves that time of day, so I wrote the poem for and named it after her.

I enjoy writing poetry without a format. I enjoy just… writing. So, this poem was really nice to write, simply because I could make it exactly the way I wanted it. It makes me happy.
