8th Grade Poems, To and From

Blue-Hadley

Just today, I stepped into

Shimmering, glistening, water blue.

I looked upon my reflection

And I saw nothing new.

I saw the thin but shiny hair,

With little strands, free in the air-

The brown a subtle, darker color,

Glasses, without glare

Almond eyes observe the view,

Deep brown lands its eyes on blue,

Head turns quickly, looks away

Acts and spies on cue.

I run and run, but do not chase,

Not that blue-eyed, blond-haired face,

I take a cover: compete, conquer;

I'm in it for the race.

Just this evening, I stepped away

From all the blue that came my way,

I looked upon my reflection

And then I looked away.
