Entry #8

This is a poem I wrote inspired by the poem Mother to Son, by Langston Hughes.


Long Way Up the Mountains

Fear not my child
For we are not to deep
The journey's just begun
But it will soon be steep

Fear not my child
The rocky mountains don't mean to scare
But the wind and rocks
I know, I know they aren't fair

Fear not my child
Try to climb the mountain with ease
Don't look down and don't go back
Just remember, you're the only one you need to please

  1. Wow, I really like this, because right away I can see how it connects to "Mother to Son" but it takes on a new metaphor which I'm sure if I read it many times, I could get many ideas out of. Great idea, well crafted too.

  2. This is amazing! I can't believe you wrote that! I can see how it relates to "Mother to Son", but at the same time it's so amazing on its own. It's really deep, and it has its own personal style at the same time. AMAZING job!
