My poem about missing someone

I sometimes think I see your shadow darting into the kitchen
Or hear your engine roar in my ear late at night
I slept clinging to the edge of the bed
While you stretched out in an elongated ballet pose
heavyweight under marmalade fur
And when the thunder split the sky
And the wind howled through the trees
We huddled together under the big pink doona
eyes tightly shut
You were my friend and my comfort
I will miss you all the days of my life.

It was my first. Spring is coming Spring is coming Flowers have come to life Birds are singing Churchbells ringing Bowers smell of Sweet scented spice I wrote this poem when I was ten. It was my first.

Spring is coming
Spring is coming
Flowers have come to life
Birds are singing
Churchbells ringing
Bowers smell of
Sweet scented spice
