City Poem Project:

It is 9:31 in Austin Texas, a Thursday morning

I am following the well known, ecstatic, and delegate Ms. White

she is excited today, showing off that beautiful smile

the sun gleams off of her making her skin sparkle.

pretty warm outside but Ms. White hasn’t broken a sweat

 

Ms. White is graceful, making life seem like a piece of cake

the only time I thought I’d speak to her is when pigs fly

she tells me her story, saying that she is a writer herself

claiming that she writes but not as unique as Shakespear

Ms. White says that she is in love with life itself

 

Ms. White asks me a question, she says

“How do you feel about being a reporter in Austin?”

I reply, “I love it, Austin provides many opportunities,

activities, and it is full of new things every day!”

she agreed with me but said there was more

I looked out, saw the delight in her eyes and saw that,

life is what you make it.
