My poems….by Julia
Look! What was that? Imagination.
Yes? Noooo nonono!!
There it goes again. Back and forth.
What is it?
Squiggles, circles, spinning round and round.
Stars and stripes jumping,
Dancing, screaming, SSSSSsssss!
A duck on a lake.
Peaceful, calm, tranquility, rest.
Sleep my mind, till I wake you tomorrow.
1978
Age 13. I included this poem as written in a journal. Sadly most of my earlier stuff was lost in journals I didn’t keep.
Julia Ann Ferguson (Ann without an E but I so badly wanted an “E” because I love Anne of Green Gables books)
