The Box of Things
By Ellitia Ra
in my box is the autumn breeze
of the wind rustling through the trees
raindrops pitter-pattering on a beautiful lake
an aurora gliding
across the shimmering night sky
in my box is the deep growl of a wolf
the loudest howl of a howler money
the cheerful song of a humming bird
in my box is the sweetness
of the first bite of chocolate, the fiery
taste of the chilliest chilli sauce
poisonous smoke blowing out from an
opened window whistling into your mouth
my boxy is shaped from arctice ice
the eighth shade of the rainbow
and the birthstones of october
with music flying everywhere
across and over.
I am a 12-year old living in South Korea. Music gives me joy and peace. Please find something that gives you joy and hope as you read this poem!
