Well I thought that other creative people would have dabbled in poetry, much like the story creator thread, and be willing to join. Since I appear to be wrong, this is now a general poetry thread and I will continue where I left off. Feel free to participate with your own poetry.

"My Past, My Daughter's Future"
Nathaniel Mitchell - 3/11/10

Gently wafting on a breeze,
the sound of wind through the trees,
warm sunshine lit upon my face,
the cool chill of a shadowed place,
a path between here and yon,
the forest beckons, "Come hither, son."

Remembering these, and others too
the years of past and skies of blue,
I seek to gift this timeless wild,
to my daughter, my lovely child,
so that she too may also see,
the beauty that there was for me.
