"We're almost there and no where near it. All that matters is that we're going." Lorelai Gilmore, Gilmore Girls
"The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound." Lady Bracknell, The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde


You’ll find me where the sidewalk ends,
With paper and pen and a million
Million thoughts in my head.
You’ll find me writing in a journal
That is dog-eared and torn,
As the peppermint wind cools my head.
I watch as the moon-bird flies in the sky,
And I wish I could fly too.
I’ll be sitting in the soft white grass,
Waiting as though for a sign,
A sign to begin, to end.
You’ll find me where the sidewalk ends.


The author's comments:
I wrote this about what brings me inspiration as a writer. "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein is my all-time favorite poem, and I used phrases from that- "where the sidewalk ends," the peppermint wind," "soft white grass."

Thanks so much for all your comments. I've check out your pieces too, and I think you're an awesome writer as well.

Wow. This is amazing. I love it. I do believe that you should submit this also to your school's literary magazine. Definitely. You are a potent writer.
