Inklings Youth Advisory Board Writers Group: Dana Huch

 

This summer our Inklings Youth Advisory Board Writers Group chose a topic to write about. The goal of this project is for us to stretch ourselves to explore new topics and formats in our writing, share our work with others, be open to feedback, and enjoy collaborating with other writers. The theme is Shadows. Enjoy reading!

Shadows

by Dana Huch

Summer Moonrise
Shadows stretch in golden light
I stand atop the hill, breathing summer air
All apricot sweetness like poppies at noon
By sunset, stems have fallen limp
Petals sealed at the tips
Holding a secret in their lips
I look down at the swaying grass, at my shadow
Hard to fathom such a figure is a distortion of me
We are bound at the soul
We are each other’s gravity
