Words
Every word has a meaning,
A denotation and a connotation.
Alone they are weak,
But together they have depth,
Together they have purpose and emotion.
A word by itself does not reflect the writer,
A sentence displays more of the writer,
Although not much more than the word,
But a whole page of words
Shows the writer’s purpose,
And tells the reader a little bit about who the
writer is.
Teachers can’t discover who a student is by the
way they solve a math problem,
But by the stories they make,
The poems they compose,
The essays they write,
And the words they use.
~Andrew L.
I am a Story
I am a book,
I hear pages turning,
I see the stories I’ve known all my life,
I want a home,
I see romances, comedies, dramas,
I want to show people my story,
I am a book,
I want to be the world someone escapes to when
they’re sad or lonely,
I am a story,
I feel my leather cover, the one I’m judged by,
I dream that one day I will be judged by my story
and not my fabric on the outside,
I try to get others to read all I have to offer,
I hope this time I will not be judged by my outside
but all I have to offer on the inside,
I am a story
