Analysis of December's Waves



The breeze builds up
Behind the trees
Sounding of ocean waves.
The waves of sweet-smelling air
Slams our face with a lovely feeling.
The leaves hurtle this way and that,
As I breath in the smell of tree bark.
The ivy laughs playfully
As it's hermit leaves trickle with sound.
The bare trees dance
A waltz with unknown song.
Who knew December
Could be perfect?

I'm 13. I love Journey to the Past, Hey There Delilah, and Once Upon a December. I love the movies Scott Pilgrim VS The World and Anastasia."Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music." ~Ronald Reagan"Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will someday end, but that most only live to follow directions and sometimes we end up totally lost." ~ Alex Gaskarth"Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr."Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead is where we truly belong." ~ Alex GaskarthAwesome youtube video(s) of the week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCmRIFVH4O4&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV-HPOHu8mY more…
