My first poem was written for my Fundamentals of Poetry course that I took last semester. I had lots of fun writing poems last fall. This poem was inspired by the painting I looked at, and I had to write a poem about the subject matter. Below is the painting called "Little Girl in a Blue Armchair" by Mary Cassatt.
Today's first poem is:
Little Girl in a Blue Armchair
The room is filled with blue armchairs
Of assorted color flower designs
They’re cushiony, fluffy, and comfy
Like large cotton-balls and smooth like satin silk.
Cool air-condition blows in the room
Soft light creeps through the living room
Remnants of the Cajun chicken’s aroma
Buzz through the air to her nose.
She thinks about tomorrow.
First day of school after summer break.
Not terribly excited for second-grade
And summer vacation ending.
It’s like doing homework every day.
She sits there on the blue armchair
She waits for her mother and father
She stares at the dog and beige carpet
She listens to all the adults’ chatter and laughter
She scratches her neck and makes a tight-lipped expression.
Wearing a white frilly cotton dress
That is now sticking on her sweaty
Forearms and thighs
Black cotton socks and black dress shoes
Feel tight and wet on her feet.
She wishes to be at home
To change from the dry-sweaty clothes
To a comfortable t-shirt and shorts.
