2017 Inklings Book Contest finalist: Alexa Zhang
Today we are featuring Inklings Book Contest 2017 finalist, Alexa Zhang! Alexa is wrapping up the third grade this year and submitted an ocean themed poem.
OCEAN WAVES
by Alexa Zhang
I am from nature,
from those worlds,
but especially the crystals of dew that hang,
holding on, only to drop like rain.
The sea was where I had been cast into life
and gained my name.
For I was born a blue angel,
molten gold rippling through me,
scattering the light.
The first thing I remember is
twirling on a cloud and chasing dolphins,
happy and carefree.
But now I am resting on the beach,
still as beautiful as before,
still carefree, but limited.
Everyday, I must run to places where the land meets the sea.
Everyday, I hear the giggles of children as a melody,
like what I used to be.
But I am from nature and I am peaceful.
For I can remember,
the sweet voice of the past.
We hope you enjoyed Alexa’s poem as much as we did, leave us a comment about it!
