Writing Wednesday | Poem: Fairy Child

I wrote this back when I was in my Junior year of high school for my creative writing class. This was actually on of my favorite pieces to write because of the style it's written in: sestina. I love this piece and I hope you do too.

Fairy Child

Like a lonely passing thought

the girl felt the summer breeze

that accompanied the night

surrounded by the dark

she sat in the garden

watching the fairy blooms

sway in the wind. Pretty blooms

from her thought

world of a fairy garden

with her hair fluttering in the breeze

outlined by the dark

starry night

She began walking into the night

surrounded by the fragrant blooms

dancing in the dark

I wonder where I’ll go. she thought

as the gentle breeze

followed her from the garden

Leaving behind the garden

engulfed in the night

followed by the breeze

she smelled of exotic blooms

to those who thought

she was a creature of the dark

The girl continued in the dark

passing many a garden

Do my parents miss me? she thought

looking up at the starry sky of night

wishing for some pretty blooms

to dance in the breeze

She heard a cry floating in the breeze

looking in the dark

for her as blooms

danced in a nearby garden

shrouded by night

without a thought

Running without a thought as the breeze

whipped her face in the night, surrounded by dark

into a garden and hiding amongst the blooms.

Five Tips to Get Out of a Reading Slump

Hey fellow readers! So seeing as I've been in a bit of an off-and-on reading slump for the past couple of months, I decided that I'll give you a few tips to help you all get out of a slump when you find yourselves in one. Without further preamble, here are five tips to out of a reading slump. 1. Do Something Else: Sometimes after a really good/emotional/powerful book, it's easy to fall into a reading slump. Doing something else- whether it be playing video games or watching t.v.- can be a worthwhile break from reading. A break from reading can sometimes help to reignite the passion to read. 2. Get a Change of Scenery: Reading in the same spot all the time can cause a reading slump. So go find a new spot to read! Be it in the kitchen, the living room, or outside. Reading in a different place can be very beneficial to keep from falling into a slump. 3. Find a New Genre to Read: When reading the same genre over and over again, it causes a reading slump due to reading th...

Delirium

Title: Delirium (Delirium #1) Author: Lauren Oliver Genre: Young Adult Dystopian Published: February 2012 Medium Read In: Paperback Pages: 441 Rating: 4 Why I Read It: I was curious to what all the good ratings were about. Summary: Ninety-five days, and then I'll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It's hard to be patient. It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't. Review: This book reminded me a lot like Matched by Allie Condie, in which the government systems are slightly alike. The only difference is that love still exists in Matched whereas it does not exist in this book. I found it difficult to relate to Lena in anyway until the end of the novel. Lena...
