Songbirds’ whimsy chorus
banishes winter’s woe
And creamy laced blossoms
adorn the young cherry
After long beneath cold ice
sprinkled with soft snow
Shining goldfish awake to
join the spring merry
This is what it could have
been far back up North where
The soft rays of sun shed
gently down upon me
Pale yellow butterflies flit
with bliss here and there
My heart belongs up North yet
they just cannot see
What have I left behind me,
my good days of young
The blazing Southern sun
cannot veil my teardrops
I yearn for the song that all
the birds up North sung
For the soothing breeze that
whispered in the treetops
I have only memories of my life
up North
The dry brittle grass
crunches sharp under my feet
All the pines choke my
optimism and so forth
Now I am trapped by the South
sun’s relentless heat
But maybe, just maybe,
perhaps on a slight chance
There is something in the
South for me to cherish
Is it the peaceful crashing
of waves as they dance
Or the awe striking thunder that
makes fear perish
I may live in the South where
the fiery sun
Shines without rest till it
sets in a blaze of art
But now I’m in the South I do
not have to run
I know that I’ll be forever
North in my heart.
I chose this one because it, firstly, is extremely well written and also because I can relate to it... D:

Love that poem, it makes me really look forward to going "up North" to Maine this summer.
