An Update and a Poem

Hello!  I'm still here!

I've been very busy recently; I started going to public school (as opposed to being homeschooled) and I'm finding it... interesting... juggling school, homework, music, and free time.  Hahaha.  Free time.  What was that again?

...Anyway, I am taking English.  Which means that I am writing stuff.  And I wrote a poem! It is a short thing, but I like it quite a lot.  It is written about a deserted town called Landaff.  When I hear "deserted town," I usually think of something in the Midwest that was deserted and is now full of sand and tumbleweed.  However, this is in New England.  In my opinion, this deserted town was much more beautiful than any of those other deserted towns.  Hopefully, my poem will give you a sense of what it was like.

Landaff

Two faint ruts

Brown dirt in a gray forest;

Grass has grown

And trees crowd in

But still the road remains.

Forgotten stone walls

Still guarding, too old to realize

The pastures they marked

Are gone.

The crack and crash of our footsteps

In the long-lost orchard

Echo among cellars and wells,

Rusted metal and broken foundations.

People lived here;

They carved out their place

With a view of the mountains

But soil too rocky to till.

They left long ago

From the land they borrowed;

The forest that gave them a home

Has finally taken it back.
