Creative Writing Assignment

So in Honors Seminar we had to write a poem or something about Kansas. I wrote a sonnet! :) It's been a while since I've really sat down and concentrated on writing anything that I was proud of, and I'm not saying this one is my favorite, because it isn't, but I'm pretty proud of what I put together for my assignment.

Kansas sky, open and blue

Grass blowing softly in the wind

Clouds billowing in the heavens

Beginning seems to reach its end

Flat land spreads itself forever

Reaching its hands across my heart

Nature appeals to me like no other

It seems we will never be apart

Love for this place came over me

Swiftly captured me piece by piece

Swept me into the beauty of farming

Working God's land was a sweet release

Kansas sky, open and blue

Forever my respect is due
