Perhaps we're less resplendent in the sunlight,
It rains all wrong but makes me grow-
like something green and intricate;
delicate shoots and vicious roots
that upturn the world and all it's worth
before rotting into mulch and earth.
Nothing, nothing left but me, a shriver;
who likes the splintered sky
and won't return to dust or the Lord on high-
but sweet precipitation.

It swamps me.
I'd swallow every drop
if not for fear of bursting like the dam I am
and pouring out my current. Shameful. True.
She'll fall once more before the night is through.
Oh God I'm so unhealthy and the rain is gone-
dried up by the rushing, shining summer,
and misinterpretation of sweet precipitation.

Rain in July, no-one else thinks it's right.

I wrote this during my AS general studies exam...which I wasn't really that commited to, I don't like general studies but I was going to make a bit of an effort. Anyway, the first line of this came into my head, I could hear the rain on the roof of the exam hall and I just though, ahhh who cares, I'll see this through instead.

I got an E? So you know, it's not a U? Maybe the examiner liked it :) I hope so.

This is the poem I am most proud of. I entered it into the foyle young poet of the year competition and got to the final which was the most exciting and wonderful experience, so there we go.
