RA Poems

Dear Blog,

I wrote short poems for Woods Staff today, as part of my developmental presentation. I hope that sharing an aspect of my education (creative writing), I can help others grow into more well-rounded people. Plus, it was a neat activity. I can't wait to hear what everyone brings to the staff meeting next Wednesday.

[Attention: These may be inside jokes, stories, and information unknown to many readers; please don't delve into the poems too much, as I just want to exhibit them and show that I'm not dead: these poems may be removed in the future]

Nikki
Never to leave a friend
In need alone, and
Keeps on helping until she
Knows that her friend
Is alright in the end 

Spencer
Starts to work on a
Program far in advance,
Encompassing all the
Needed aspects therein,
Certain that his hard work
Eventually aids at least one
Resident 

Ashleigh
Although the outsider
Sometimes sees just
Her blunt front,
Life allows Ashleigh to
Embellish the lives of those
Inherently lucky enough to
Get to know
Her
 
Ashleigh Pt.2
Although the outsider
Sometimes sees just
Her blunt front, those
Lucky enough to be near her have their lives
Embellished
In ways
God could have only
Have dreamed of
 
Daniel
Dude,
Another team builder?
No one has
Interest in these since
Early October, after Aleigha’s
Lovely shark impression 

Kelsie
Kind words aren’t
Enough to accurately
Label attributes to her, although
Sweet has to be mentioned somewhere
In this poem, because
Everyone knows it’s true 

Jim Winslow
Just when the day
Is done, one can
Make sure to find,
Without a doubt, this
Individual listening to music,
New and old; be thankful,
Since he can be quite
Loquacious and
Observant
Without his iPod 

Halyssa
Heads above the others around her,
Although physically small,
Let it be known that
Yes, a girl can
Shop to her heart’s content and
Still score higher than you in the
All of your classes 

Elliott
Electrical engineering is a
Labor of
Love for this guy;
Indeed, it has to be if
One intends to
Take that degree into
The real world
 
Elliot Pt.2
Enveloped nearly every day in
Logarithms and
Lengthy equations,
Inevitably, he finds an
Opportunity to
Thank
Those that give him strength to persist 

Brandon
Before you meet him, you
Recognize the
Aura of positivity that
Never leaves his presence;
Diligent and always great,
One can see why Michelle
Nabbed him from the market
 
Judy
Jubilant as always, she
Understands you when you
Don’t even understand
Yourself
 
Aleigha
Able to finish large tasks in a
Little time span,
Efficient only goes part way to detail the
Intricacies that
Go through the mind of our
Hall Director; her
Amiable outlook holds the true secret to success
 
JoAnna
Jaunt is hardly the
Obvious choice for the
Adventures our
Night hostess
Nevertheless embarks on when
Another student wanders in with goggles on

Until next time,
-Daniel Golden
