Samantha’s Poetry
Ribbons of Color
My sled dogs huddle close,
keeping me warm in this
frigid, snowy paradise.
Gray wolves howl,
lynx snarl,
joining a concert
of wild night sounds.
A stiff wind blows,
rustling in the trees.
Blue, green, orange,
red and purple ribbons
of bright flowing color
move against the dark sky.
Aurora Borealis takes over,
changing the landscape to
an otherworldly place.
Busy
I work four days a week
at Goodwill.
Weekends are spent with
my respite sis, Krista.
School on Fridays
at GRCC,
Noorthoek Academy.
In my freetime,
I love relaxing at home
with my cats, dogs and birds.
Me
Mom’s voice and
creativity.
Dad’s dark brown hair
and eyes.
Me.
What I Miss
I miss swimming like a penguin
in the GRCC swimming pool,
soon I will get to swim there again.
I miss going to the zoo with my Mom,
soon we will go there again.
I miss my respite sissy Krista and
going to the dog park,
soon I will be able to do that again,
with my respite sissy Krista.
