Level I Task I: A non-rhyming poem.

She lay on the hard earth

Like freshly fallen snow.

He shone bright above her

Like the sun.

.

She melted under his heat

Completely.

She was warmed by his touch,

Softened by his smile,

But he burned too bright.

.

She was water:

A river running its course to the sea,

Leaving a mark wherever it went

Like a scar in the landscape.

A tattoo.

Graffiti that said, "I was here."

.

He began to burn her out

Where she stood.

She was dry,

Running on empty, except for the promise

That his light would be

Enough

To sustain her.
