roses are red poems are difficult for me to write.

Here we have another assignment from creative writing 101.  We listed 25 fears or desires (I chose desires) and turned them into a poem.  It took me a week to get around to even trying to write it, and a few hours, not to mention popsicles and pretzels dipped in nutella, to just poet up and write it.  So here's my poem which I turned in with the title desires and such.

I want good coffee in the morning

and flavourful wine at night.

Rich food to sustain me

and creative music to entertain me.

I dream

of traveling the world.

living among foreigners

speaking their language and absorbing their culture.

I wish

I could spend more time being active

riding bikes

being out of doors

and playing the beautiful game.

I long

for days alone with my wife

and for a future of children with her.

For late nights talking with friends.

to learn my family history

and understand who I am

in light of the past.

to worship my God.

I crave

challenges that i will meet and overcome

a career that allows me to be fulfilled

the courage to stand for truth and beauty

and the humility to accept when I am wrong
