"This is your life, and its ending one minute at a time." -Fight Club


Minds filled with memories 

Memories make us human 

Thoughts stick like anemones 

One day, memories come to conclusion


I remember sounds of ruffling leaves 

And sunlight shining through trees 

Twinkling water, a cool breeze 

This lake is what makes me, me 


I smell the air 

Air smells like bliss

I say a prayer 

Sun gives Earth a kiss


The lake will last longer than me

And I will be it’s legacy

My name is Sadie and I made this sonnet for my creative writing class. I love to write poetry, even though I don't have the most experience with it. This is one of the three sonnets in a collection of poems I wrote about Lake McConaughy, a beautiful lake in Nebraska that I go to every year. It means a lot to me, which is why I wrote it.
