Poems

I would like to say how much I miss my brother Emil and my friends from school. I also want to wish you a good year at school.

Poems

Since I’ve been in Australia, I’ve gotten into writing short poems inspired by songs I hear. I pick a song, and from a line or a phrase I create a short poem from it. I thought it would be cool  to share them with you.

So here it goes. The first one is from Paul Kelly - From Little Things Big Things Grow. I heard this song in the car, when my family was driving from Darwin to Litchfield National Park. That’s the park where the termite mounds were. If you don’t remember, check out my old blog post. This song is about the Aboriginal people trying to get back there land. Here’s my poem:

I am not one big thing,

I am many little things woven together.

The next song is from Mumford and Sons - White blank page.

A blank page is the difference between history and  the unwritten future.

The poem I wrote was inspired from a song by Lisa Mitchell - Neopolitan Dreams.

I turn my head up to the sky

I see you flying high.

I also have another poem I wrote, it goes like this:

When I close my eyes

all I see is light,

but when I open them

all I see is darkness.

Here are the songs that inspired me so you can listen to them.
