My real name is Amanda, but but my friends call me Dee.I am an Asian-American high school science teacher.I write poetry only when the spirit moves me. These poems that I have submitted were written during significant times in my life. The one poem Questions seems different from the others that I written, and it is. Its irregular rhythm is supposed to reflect the irratic behavior. I encourage any suggestions to improve my work. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did writing them.
Autumn bids a fond farewell
As Sister Winter takes her place
The colors of the trees in glory
With Winter's white is soon replaced
...
As I stare upon you, Evening Star
From the land where sorrows reign
I envy you, oh star of night
Who never has known pain
...
Why do you hurt me?
What did I do?
Did I say something mean?
Did I offend you?
...
Amid the lushious green
Near the lily white
Reigns the Fairy Queen
On a throne so bright
...
