Kellsey Hartmann Poems

I wonder how…
How many days,
Since we ate, drank…
Have seen the sun's rays
...

The excitement builds
I'm ecstatic to finish
But now excitement and fear
Are hard to distinguish
...

velvety red petals
full and sweet
soft and light
arranged neat
...

a mama bird sits in her nest
her tiny eggs nestled beneath her feathers
whether rain, wind, or snow
she keeps them safe through all weather
...

The warmth still surrounds me as I open the door
one step out and I feel the cold rush around me
I can't take my eyes off the beauty
just look at all the trees
...

The days grow long
As the sun peaks out
The birds are returning
On their yearly route
...

our little red boat
we set afloat
with all those patches
to cover deep scratches
...

I step on the warm sand
The tide is rising high
But soon the rising tide
Will be drawing nigh
...

What comes next?
We've done what was asked
We've behaved at the end
We've passed every class
...

The Truth
a word of respect
a word of courage at times
hard to define, hard to detect
...
