Realist



I slowly sip my sweetened tea while I stare blankly at the glowing computer screen in front of me.
An average day.
My fingers cascade across the keyboard clicking at each key as they find the desired letter.
Silver gleaming, my hands are heavy.
I look around at the messy room around me.
Art scattered about, light peeking its way through the shutters.
My eyes wander back to my mug.
Empty.
My fingers stop clicking.
The soft hum of the air conditioner can now be heard.
Calm.

Eyes are sparkling in crevices and crooks. One more day may pass, or has it gone? Just listen to the moonlight as it starts to sing its song.

I should have guessed that since poetry is an art form, it would go through all the same movements as something like painting would.  Poetry can be especially challenging for someone that is very visual, like myself, but I enjoyed getting to learn about all the different ways to create poems. I am a strong believer in all forms of art because even if you never master something, the learning experience will help your brain to think in different ways you might not otherwise try or realize. Poetry is very effective in this as its many forms allow you to problem solve and create new things in different ways.
