Octobers Writing Contest

I have a confession, I am a poetry nerd. For years I have poured my self over Frost, Angelou, Cummings, Dickinson and Poe. There is something about a poem, the words sing, they climb into your mind, pulling, tugging, reaching deep in creating an emotion like no other form of writing. Like I said I'm a poetry nerd. Throw reformed drama kid on top of it and there will be no question what my favorite poem is. 

 Robert Frost: Nothing Gold Can Stay 

 Nature's first green is gold, 

 Her hardest hue to hold. 

 Her early leaf's a flower; 

 But only so an hour. 

 Then leaf subsides to leaf. 

 So Eden sank to grief, 

 So dawn goes down to day. 

 Nothing gold can stay.
