Poetry On Odyssey: She Fades With The Seasons

"She stood by the flames hoping to forget the cold"

Writing is my passion. Within writing, I especially find a love for writing poetry. It is the kind of love that consumes me. When feelings make their appearance, I write poetry. If I have an idea or a thought, all I want to do is drop everything and write. So, that is what this is. A thought, a feeling, an emotion, a love for poetry. This is me consumed by words and putting them onto a piece of paper, into a free verse poem.


She began to fall with the leaves

Fading from a beautiful auburn to bare limbs

Crumbling before her thoughts could reach the ground

She stood by the flames hoping to forget the cold


It doesn't snow where she is from but the wind is chilling

Consuming the warmth that she once felt

Her mind has become darker than the winter night

Her thoughts more dreadful than the winter gloom

Who she once was has become a memory distant with the fall leaves

She never asked for winter to embrace her

It is colder than she remembers


Color fades back in as she is faded out

Hoping to bloom with the beauty of new dandelions

The ice of winter is a blade that leaves her with new scars

But the hope of new life brings a soul that has been lost to the surface

She waits for new life to meet her in the darkness

It always does when the flowers begin to bloom


She admires the sun as it blinds her

She picks the flowers that did not pick her

The voice of the wind has blown into the mind of another

She sits amongst the green forgetting

She is happy here, For once

Happy to be introduced to new color

But she knows it is only temporary


She began to fall with the leaves

Fading from a beautiful auburn to bare limbs

Crumbling before her thoughts could reach the ground

She stood by the flames hoping to forget the cold

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
