The Poetic Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old

I am currently taking a class where we had to describe something we saw outside and we also had to create a poem about who we are. I have decided to post them here and would love to hear from you! Tell me what you think and maybe post your own poem or piece of writing! I will probably post other things I write, if they are any good. So without further ado, here they are:

The Sun: A Creative Writing Piece

The golden sun wraps me in a blanket of warmth.

It tastes like delicious honey that slowly melts to lemonade

as it hides behind a cloud.

“My Life Is”

by Vahni Kurra

My life is sunshine from the Indian sun
It is ocean spray from the beaches of Trinidad
It is so much together, and I’ll have it forever
As long as I hold it close

My life is the smell of books encasing me
It is the gusty breath of wind that soothes
It is so much together, and I’ll have it forever
As long as I hold it close

My life is the spices that tickle your tongue
It is the mystery of red curtains that hide and reveal the stage
It is so much together, and I’ll have it forever
As long as I hold it close

My life is the plane ride that carries you to exotic lands
It is the soul of music that makes you sway and jiggle
It is so much together, and I’ll have it forever
As long as I hold it close

My life is air-soft puppy fur
It is the swing set where we all used to play
It is so much together, and I’ll have it forever
As long as I hold it close

My life is the one that sees the first breath of a new one
It is also the one that says a final goodbye
It is so much together, and I’ll have it forever
As long as I hold it close

I’ve done and seen so much, and know there’s more to come
I’m unprepared, but will always know
My life is so much together, and I’ll have it forever
As long as I hold it close

Thanks for reading, Ciao! :)
