Let Go and Float Away

This is a concrete poem created in Elizabeth Pellicane’s 1st block Creative Writing class.

 

                                                                          Up, up, up,

                                                                  We float up into the sky,

                                                     Floating wherever the wind takes us

                                          Sometimes you don’t know where you are going

                                    But you just keep on floating on and let the flow take you

                                 Sometimes it’s hard because you want to control it with force

                               You have to realize you just have to keep on chilling and let it go

                               My brain floats away almost exactly like how these balloons do,

                               Letting thoughts take control as the strong wind takes control too

                                 Float away little ballon, let the wind take you up up and away,

                                     Let the wind take you wherever it goes without hesitation

                                       They say we live, laugh, and love, but never say let go

                                            Such an important thing to learn, but no one says, 

                                                  “Now it is time for you to learn to let go;

                                                         Now just let it all start to float.” 

                                                                Start, don’t look back

                                                                         Now let go

                                                                                L
