Ode to the sun

About this poem

I didn’t know I liked poetry- I had tried it but teachers forced topics and templates into my face and I felt trapped- so one day Mrs Lewis was the teacher who changed my life and opened my eyes she let us read poems from other great authors and picked apart the different types of poetry, and it was all beautiful, then one day she gave us the freest topic I've heard from a teacher of creativity, an Ode and it was amazing. So I thought and everyone did odes to the moon or items they loved or hobbies but me I wanted to paint the picture of what comforted me even through my darkest trauma, the light, the sun how it always shone again no matter the clouds that covered it so here was born the first serious poem I wrote and it led me to a path of art that you don’t see with your eyes necessarily but your mind. Thank you mrs Lewis more »
