Girl in the Woods
A poem based on my sister's painting
Travel on a path
A path long and wide
Through frosted-tipped trees
Pink daisies by my side
***
I carry my daisies as companions
Can't travel alone
Don' know where I'm going
Don't know what lies upon
***
Upon the land behind the hills
Green as my dress
It's all about the journey
I could wander aimless
***
I need to see the world
Beyond the pine and grass
Beautiful pretty sights
I can look on as I pass
***
When will the journey end?
Who knows
The girl in the woods
Will go where the wind blows

Very nicely done, Sarah. Also a nice way to pay tribute to your sister's painting. Well done!
At some point in modern poetry, people stopped using complete sentences: "I was lonely and the path, yellow, Fixed upon a star Drooping like a cowslip From the belt of Orion...." This could be achieved with a couplet. I wrote that in about three seconds. It is not challenging enough for you. Look at Ode to a Grecian Urn or Adonais (Keats, Shelley).
