free verse assignment for english class


Calm waters


The setting sun bathes the cottage in a golden glow,
It's peaceful here, untouched by the reaches of civilization.
Beyond the cabin, down a steep dusty hill, a lake lies,
Calm and pristine in this surreal light. The surface like glass,
Undisturbed by even the slightest breeze.
The sky's florid colors reflect
Onto the smooth surface of the water
creating a double world.
The sun retreats behind the darkened hills,
The world is submersed in a deep orange light.
A hush passes over the surroundings,
All life slowly slips in to a peaceful slumber.
