House on a Hill
April 2, 2013
The breeze floats swiftly through the cracks of a sodden wooden bench. In the distance birds whisper to the wind, producing a sweet melody. My heart beats as one with the river sweeping itself along the banks. Flashes of color reflect off of the pale sand as scales and fins jump out of the translucent water. The heavens begin to glow pink and dark shadows reflect off of the dark mirror of once transparent waters. Gray figures rule the sky, wings beating gently, their soft voices guiding me to the dark familiar outline of a house on a hill.

This is wonderful, with a description to match that of Mark Twain's of Jackson Island in the early morning. Keep it up!

Sometimes this is my favorite thing to do, just write out my memories the way I remember them; poetic. I also like to base some of my poems off of my memories, even if it's just scenery. I like this a lot :) It's refreshing.

What great imagery! You have a knack for it. It has this eerie qualitty that gives it life. I really enjoyed it. Please give my poetry a quick look, I am always looking for constructive crticism!
