Incomplete Graffiti MAG
April 10, 2017
I stop on the corner of every street
I smell you in my backyard trees and around
the halls of that empty place we would meet
I see your face on every billboard found
the wind cries your name and the rain does too
your complexion in every graffiti place
you contrast everything that I knew
your face reminds me of pain and of grace
you are in the air haunting me today
you are everything that I see around me
but still I don’t know you at all really
you are never fully here for just me

For my British and World Literature class one of the project assignments we could do, was creating a sonnet and trying to confirm to Iambic pentameter. Since I love writing poetry, I decided that was the option I'd try. I was unsure of the formatting, but it grew me as a writer and the content I described in this piece is very personal, nostalgic, and bitter-sweet for me.
