Apparently I Write Poetry while Driving to Work

[breezeshadow]

Someday,
I hope to return
to the land where the deer
outnumber the people;
to the land where the trees
outnumber the deer;
and the humans
are a speck of voices
among the silence.

For while I admire
these background mountains
and the warm taste of empanadas
rich in culture and words;
I miss the nights
when I could look up
at the night sky
and see
the stars.

(I miss you, upperstate NY and your natural beauty. Though sorry, the bay area has you BEAT when it comes to tasty AND inexpensive food)

Ooh! I really like this! Somehow I forgot that you write poetry, but you do it well.

Thank you! And yeah, I don't write poetry too often. Sophomore year of college I did take a creative writing course, though, where half of the semester was focused on poetry. It helped improve my poetry abilities majorly, especially in regards to "Line breaks are your best friend" xD

Very nice – it catches emotion well; you managed to spark a moment of nostalgia in me.
