Bittersweet

Poetry

by Grace O’Connor ’22
Smooth and sweet, the chocolate rolls around my tongue
I see happiness and sunlight
The warmness that makes me feel young
As the little pieces of sugar melt on my tongue
I run through the grass with glee
Smelling the fresh flowers
My long hair being whipped by the wind
I don’t care about the passing hours
The chocolate slowly becoming thinned
I look back when the only thing surrounding me was flowers
The ground beneath my feet is cold
The once sweet chocolate left behind a bitter taste
I yearn for the times when I didn’t feel old
When I did not feel a sense of disgrace

1.
The vivid skirts of dancers
Swaying and twirling in the wind
2.
A morning star
Bursting like fireworks in the gloomy sky
3.
The pure happiness of a child
Its petals spreading out into a grin
4.
Midas’ fingers
A golden touch radiating prosperity
5.
A sprout from the earth
Summoning the birds
To commence their sweet melodies
6.
A push through strong, stubborn roots
After winter
7.
The rising sun
Blooming into a new day
